Indictment
Watching Meet the Press ...
I think it's obscene the way all the Republican politicians ... Pence, Barr, Haley, Graham, DeSantis, et al ... are decrying Trump's indictment with their bogus claims. I guess they all got the memo.
These Republicans aren't really upset because they believe the alleged crime is too insignificant or because it's unprecedented. They aren't really upset because they believe Trump is innocent. They are outraged because the DA is treating Trump in the same way that any other person would be treated (this year that DA has charged over 100 of the same kind of crime in NY) ....
Eye-opening statistic via NYT:

“False business records charge is the bread and butter of the district attorney’s office … since Mr Bragg took office in 2022, prosecutors have filed 117 felony counts … against 29 individuals and companies.”

The Republicans are going insane because they want twice-impeached and disgraced ex-president Trump to be treated as someone so special, that he is above the law (or at least they think their base wants that). They can't actually admit that, though, so hence the agreed upon taking points.

I think they have plenty to convict Trump with. I assume there would be a jury trial. It might be hard to find enough people for an impartial jury.
Hopefully this case will break the barrier for the other likely indictments to fall in place. There's at least five of them. Surely at least one will result in a felony conviction.
I hope so! Everything takes so long, though. I've heard it's possible for Trump to run for president even from jail, like Eugene Debbs.
