Cleta Mitchell played a central role in the effort to stop the certification of the election in Georgia and beyond.
She was one of the principal players on the infamous call in which Trump implored Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to find the 11,780 votes he needed to claim victory.
Yet, when Fulton County District Attorney Fani T. Willis unveiled her sprawling RICO case against Trump last month , Mitchell wasn’t one of 19 people facing charges.
The grand jury recommended indictments against 40 people in the fake electors scheme and for commissioning a crime in their attempts to overturn the election in Georgia and other states.
Among those targeted by the grand jury who escaped indictment are Sen. Lindsey Graham and former Georgia Sens . Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue .
Mitchell maintains she has evidence to prove the results in Georgia were illegitimate.
She introduced herself as “consigliere to the vast right-wing conspiracy’s” She was joking, but a Georgia jury will likely soon decide whether her boss was indeed the head of an organized crime racket.
