Here are the words of The First Amendment: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
So the First Amendment protects speech… While some speech such as yelling “Fire!” in a crowded theater has been held to be illegal, Trump did nothing of the sort. He expressed his opinions and broke no laws in his attempts to make certain the election results were correct. Yet Fani T. Willis, a District Attorney seemingly knows what was in the minds of Trump and others as she boldly declared some people: “knowingly, willfully, and unlawfully made at least one of the following false statements before the Fulton County Special Purpose Grand Jury, judicial proceeding, after having been administered lawfill oath: “
Fani did not prove that those who made such statements did it knowing they were false. Making a statement is protected speech regardless of whether it’s true or false. Congress cannot make a law that controls that and Fani certainly cannot be correct when she claims she knew what someone was thinking when they made such statements. Besides. If the speaker decided to say they retract their statement, then they cannot be held to have made it is the first place since the retraction makes it disappear. A statement that has disappeared is not in existence so no one can be held reponsible for making it.
