Click here for a full official Trump docket as of 9-7-2023, paginated and modified slightly to allow you to see the statutory basis for each charge. Otherwise verbatim in all its incompetent glory, this document will help you appreciate this effort at sanity and reason.
Please note that this is Trump’s docket. All 19 defendants have separate dockets. Most of the docket items are common to all the defendants. Fulton County, Georgia makes it uncommonly difficult to figure out which filings are common and which filings are unique to one or more separate defendants. Trying to assemble a full, coherent set of filings is a nightmare.
The goal is to get a complete set of all the material filings in all the cases, in chronological order, using the docket numbers assigned by the clerk.
I plan to set up a GoFundMe page. The object is to fund the work necessary to ensure that the press and the public are fully and adequately informed of the facts and law relevant to this litigation.
If you see an error or omission herein, erroneous or broken links to pleadings, etc., please let me know by email to oscarstilley@gmail.com Ditto if you think of a way to make this better and more useful.
