Hi, everyone. It's Borkwagon, New York. Today, we saw the first televised standoff in

the case brought by Fulton County District Attorney Fanny Willis against the disgrace ex-president

Donald Trump and 18 other co-defendants in that plot to overturn Joe Biden's 2020 victory

in the state of Georgia. It was our first glimpse at the game of chicken. Some of the defendants

are trying to play. Notably, Willis's team did not blink. That first glimpse inside the courtroom

also showed just how complicated it is to prosecute an attempted coup in each individual member of

that conspiracy. The hearing was nominally about whether or not former Trump lawyers Kenneth

Cheesebro and Sidney Powell can sever or separate their cases from the other 17 co-defendants.

team as you did right there, this was also the first time that we've heard from the judge in the

case, Scott McAfee, who seems skeptical that a trial of this magnitude could be dealt with

in a few months. It just seems a bit unrealistic to think that we can handle all 19 and 40 something days.

That's my initial reaction, thinking of just how to get this. And are we even delaying the

inevitable? If we say there's no severance, are we going to have 17 defense attorneys get

up here and file motions for a continuous just saying they're not ready? Now, ultimately,

Judge McAfee ruled that cheesebro and Powell will be tried together, that they could not
