A report by LeakXtra on December 19, 2023, Geoff Duncan, Georgia’s ex-GOP lieutenant governor, didn’t hold back as he criticized associates of former President Donald Trump, likening their legal efforts to a baseball team with a score of 0 for 500.
Duncan’s candid comments follow recent setbacks, notably the rejection of Mark Meadows’ attempt to alter charges, painting a grim picture of the Trump camp’s legal effectiveness.
Beyond just numbers, Duncan challenges Trump’s allies for relying on technicalities instead of presenting solid evidence, urging them to shift from legal maneuvers to a more convincing narrative backed by proof.

This sentiment aligns with a growing belief that the Trump camp’s legal battles lack substance, even supported by conservative Chief Judge William Pryor, a potential Supreme Court nominee by Trump, who found Meadows’ alleged offenses beyond official duties and lacking authority on election fraud claims.
Duncan, known for his straightforward approach, describes Trump’s associates as a cast of clowns awakening to the realization that their loyalty may not shield them from consequences, including career losses, disbarment, financial setbacks, and potential jail time.
Expressing dismay at the state of the Republican Party, Duncan sees this period as a necessary healing process but issues a stern warning of a looming deadline for the party to face the hard realities.
He views the challenging road ahead as crucial for rebuilding a party fractured by internal divisions and legal problems.
As the GOP grapples with its identity and future, Duncan’s bold statements serve as a wake-up call, reflecting a growing sentiment within the party that a reckoning is necessary for progress.
Whether Duncan’s critique sparks a reassessment of legal strategies or a broader shift in the party’s direction remains uncertain, but his words underscore the gravity of the challenges facing the GOP and the need for a substantive course correction.
