    The charges range... to racketeering, a charge usually reserved for organized crime.

    It's cute how the writer doesn't realize it's continuing to be reserved for organized crime.

    Nixon evaded justice, and what he did was worse.

    Trump will get off, maybe not scot free, but likely with just one scot.

    Unfortunately, all these indictments mean nothing unless they're brought to trial before the election (and even then, who knows?), which they won't be.

    It raises the question of what the hell took prosecutors 2.5 years on this.

      One of the federal cases for election interference (in Washington DC) is proposing a Jan 2 trial date. The federal case for classified documents (in Florida) is set for May 20. That one could hypothetically pass a judgement after Trump has secured the GOP nomination, but before the party convention.

      The investigation taking its sweet time is typical.

        I imagine there will be multiple defense requests to move these dates back, and what, is the judge going to force his attorneys to go to trial when they say they aren't ready? This goes double if they say they are tracking down witnesses and subpoenaing information to bolster their case. And of course you'll see a bunch of creative motions filed, which will need to be litigated before trial.

    Is there anyway legally to force Trump to go to Georgia for the indictment/trial?

    If not I can see this clown just altogether avoiding Georgia to escape justice.

      He won't be able to avoid George if he needs to campaign there. And that is the real goal IMO.

    The cherry on top is that Rudy Giuliani's office taught DAs how to use the racketeering laws to get mob bosses in the 80s. Now he's charged with it. I love it.

    Not that I have a lot of hope for the outcomes on any of these.
