Alrighty. So, this RICO prosecution in Georgia is, of course, the headline of the moment.

It is also the largest legal barrier that Donald Trump faces going forward because it is a state-level case,

which means that if he is convicted in the state of Georgia, he cannot pardon himself even were he to be elected presidents of the United States or even where a fellow Republican to be elected presidents of the United States.

DLA Piper, which is a major law firm.

Willis's indictment is this long, sprawling thing that encompasses Donald Trump's activities

with relation to legislators in Pennsylvania,

with relation to various members of his own administration, with members of the DOJ, with his lawyers.

The 98-page indictment is basically just an entire narrative story about Donald Trump's attempts to intervene in the 2020 election.
