Read Their Eyes

By Bill Doughty––


Former United States Marine Harrison Floyd is still in jail after being charged last week in the Fulton County case with violating Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act. He is charged with influencing a witness and conspiracy to commit solicitation of false statements, specifically against Fulton County election worker Ruby Freeman. Floyd is the only one of 19 defendants who was not granted bail; a judge ruled he was a potential flight risk.


Former Commander in Chief Donald J. Trump allegedly led efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Other defendants are charged with assisting the former president and/or each other in subverting the election in violation of the U.S. Constitution. All are presumed innocent until proven guilty.

Over the summer, we posted several updates to criminal indictments, particularly when there was a connection with the military and/or the Constitution. We recommended the indictments as historic summer reading. The Fulton County indictment is back-to-school season heavy reading, but is recommended as we continue to live through historic times. We can also read the eyes of some of the defendants in the case:


Meadows
Eastman
Giuliani
Cheseboro
Clark
Powell
Roman
Smith
Kutti
Hall
Lee
Still
One wonders what is going on behind the eyes of the alleged conspirators and followers –– including a former Marine and a Christian pastor –– allegedly part of a coup attempt and subversion of the Constitution.

What are they thinking now as they face possible imprisonment? What choices will they make in the weeks and months ahead? What did they believe that led them allegedly to commit their crimes?

Fulton County mugshots of 19 co-conspirators alleged to have tried to subvert the 2020 election.

And what will be the actions of their followers and believers, including those who support the January 6, 2021 insurrection and attempted coup?
