Forty-one charges based on one hundred and sixty-one specific actions; too bad much of America will ignore the actual indictment and depend on flippant phrases from their chosen talking head on TV or X.
I am reminded of an episode of The Andy Griffith Show where a spoiled friend of Opie’s continually acts like a spoiled brat. When confronted the final time the kid shows his true colors again and everyone realizes the boy only cares for himself. Sheriff Taylor then offers the father directions to the wood shed. Hopefully folks will see that is exactly what we have here.
I can only hope that the prosecutors for all these indictments have properly laid the groundwork and are able to unambiguously demonstrate how the defendants broke the law. It's vitally important that the prosecutors be able to refute accusations that the charges are just politically motivated attacks - and they can only do that by making a clear connection between the actions that were taken, the law, and the consequences. Of course there will be a segment of the population that will still scream 'witch hunt', regardless of how much evidence there is to the contrary - but for the rest of us a compelling set of facts, convincingly argued before a jury and adjudicated, is going to be essential.
In 2004 Howard Dean screamed awkwardly after the New Hampshire primary. His campaign soon ended because of the transgression. If only Trump made a public gaff, the GOP might move on.

"And somehow, Trump remains the overwhelming favorite in the GOP race for President in 2024."
Your average American is an uneducated loser, and kind of an asshole too. There you go.
I hope the grand jurors remain safe. I didn't realize their names would be this public. What a tremendous amount of stress.
I wonder if Lindsay Graham is one of the unindicted co-conspirators. I hope his name comes out of the co-conspirator who flipped.

“… in Fulton County we apply the law equally to everyone.”
That’s why republicans are so upset, they only understand preferential treatment for their criminals.
