Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis hasn't just thrown the whole book at Donald Trump, but rather the whole library at the former president and a whopping 18 alleged co-conspirators.

Unlike Special Counsel Jack Smith, who resorted to contorted laws from a century-and-a-half to try and make anything stick, Georgia's litigation of Team Trump's attempts to steal the 2020 election sticks to state law as written and practiced. As in any RICO case, it's up to the jury to deliberate the facts, and not just about Trump: for example, did Sydney Powell pay people to illegally access voting machines, or did she not?

DONALD TRUMP INDICTED: THE FORMER PRESIDENT'S ONE BIG ADVANTAGE AS CRIMINAL CHARGES PILE UP

By rounding up Trump with his "gaggle of crackpot lawyers," Willis is wagering that his legal entourage — which is arguably more at risk of being convicted for criminal incompetence than Trump is for taking their abysmal advice — will turn on their former boss.

Already, the cracks are beginning to show.

Jenna Ellis, a former Trump shill who questioned whether the California-born and bred Kamala Harris was actually natural born citizen because reasons, abandoned the Trump train long before being indicted in the Georgia prosecution and went all in on backing Ron DeSantis's bid for the Republican presidential nomination. To save her law license, Ellis already publicly confessed that she spread ten falsehoods related to Stop the Steal, including the lies that "the election was stolen and Trump won by a landslide," that "we have over 500,000 votes [in Arizona] that were cast illegally," and that "Hillary Clinton still has not conceded the 2016 election."

Now that a potential prison sentence is on the table, why wouldn't Ellis further stab Trump in the back? She has resorted to crowd-funding her legal defense on the website GiveSendGo, a clear sign that Team Trump has hung her out to dry. But it's not just those that Trump perceives as turncoats.

According to CNN, Rudy Giuliani made a pilgrimage down to Mar-A-Lago to plead with the former president for assistance in covering his legal fees.

"But the former president, who is notoriously strict about dipping into his own coffers, didn’t seem very interested," CNN reports. "After [Giuliani's attorney Robert] Costello made his pitch, Trump verbally agreed to help with some of Giuliani’s legal bills without committing to any specific amount or timeline.

Trump also agreed to stop by two fundraisers for Giuliani, a separate source said. Another source told CNN that Trump only agreed to cover a small fee from a data vendor hosting Giuliani’s records. And months later, Trump’s Save America PAC paid $340,000 to that vendor, Trustpoint, federal campaign filings show. CNN has now confirmed the payment was intended to settle Giuliani’s outstanding bill with the company."

The progressive legal movement as a whole, including the ridiculous indictments from Smith and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, haven't exactly hidden the ball with regard to their strategy.

By timing all their trials to begin right as Trump presumably locks up the 2024 nomination, these progressive prosecutors can bleed the Trump campaign itself dry of donations, which Trump has already begun to siphon off to his legal defense. While he can afford to keep Walt Nauta, one of three co-defendants in the classified documents case, on his payroll and his person, can Trump afford to keep 18 accused co-conspirators happy, well-fed, and out of the clutches of prosecutors?

And in the case of those like Ellis, will Trump, as dependent on sycophancy as King Lear himself, even want to?

And that's the crux of Fani Willis's entire strategy: hope that Team Trump fails the boss's unending loyalty tests and turncoats emerge to save themselves, throwing the former president under the bus.
