This is the Libertarian Podcast from the Hoover Institution.

Today we're discussing the indictment of former President Trump in Georgia.

I'm your host Tom Church, and the Libertarian is Professor Richard Epstein.

Richard is the Peter and Kirsten Bedford senior fellow here at the Hoover Institution.

He's the Lawrence A Tish Professor of Law at NYU and he's a senior lecturer at the

University of Chicago.

Richard, I don't know how we're going to handle a case with 19 co-defendants and

41 separate counts, but let's give it a shot.

Now, as you know know Fulton County District Attorney

Fanny Willis charged Donald Trump and others with dozens of crimes under

Georgia state law and the charges range from solicitation of violation of oath of

oath by a public officer by to making false statements and writings to the

violation of the Georgia RICO Act.

Now, this case, I think, has some material differences

with the federal case brought by Jack Smith,

namely, again, it's under Georgia's version of RICO.

Georgia's RICO law going to look different from a federal RICO case?

Well, you want the understanding?

Sure.

Nobody's quite sure.
