Subject: RE: BS: stay afloat while others don't
It became clear in the charges leveled against Trump and his co-conspirators last night that one of the more egregious related crimes was how some of the GOP party folks treated the state election workers, and that goes directly back to Giuliani's persistent efforts on Trump's behalf. Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss were subjected to abuse, one of the GOP workers tried to entrap one of them into saying they'd rigged the votes.
In the days after the election, Freeman and Moss became the subjects of a Trump-backed conspiracy theory that was later found to be "false and unsubstantiated," according to an investigation by the Georgia Elections Board. Giuliani, in an appearance before a committee of the Georgia state legislature, told lawmakers that a video circulating online showed "Ruby Freeman and Shaye Freeman Moss ... quite obviously surreptitiously passing around USB ports, as if they're vials of heroin or cocaine."

Last year Freeman told ABC News' Terry Moran that she subsequently received so much harassment from conspiracy theorists that for a time she was forced to leave the suburban Atlanta home where she had lived for 20 years. The pair gave similar testimony when they appeared before the House selection committee investigating the events of Jan. 6.

The investigation by the Georgia Elections Board cleared Moss and Freeman of all wrongdoing last month.

From The Hill.

That mother and daughter duo are after three years hopefully seeing things turn around. Ending up afloat can take a while.
