    I can't say I have high hopes for where this will end up, but it's still an important thing to do. To show even the president isn't above the law.

    Ezra Klein had a conservative lawyer and political commentator David French featured this week, and they covered this case and other cases against Trump and how they might pan out. French wasn't very confident the Storm Daniels payments will stick when challenged, but thought the GA election fraud charges were very strong. It's about an hour (or a transcript) and worth a listen.

      Do we know approximately when Trump will be indicted for the GA stuff? It's definitely much more serious.
