The Foreperson of the Georgia Grand Jury was asked if the Grand Jury had recommended indictments against Trump. She said,

Quote

“You’re not going to be shocked. It’s not rocket science,” Emily Kohrs told the outlet Tuesday. “You won’t be too surprised.”
…
“I will tell you that if the judge releases the recommendations, it is not going to be some giant plot twist. You probably have a fair idea of what may be in there. I’m trying very hard to say that delicately.

She said the indictment list is not a short list.

Unusually for Trump, he put himself front and centre by making a threatening call to Raffensberger while telling him to find enough votes to make Georgia a win for him. Making the threats on tape was highly unusual for Trump who usually operates with the circumspection of a Mafia boss who knows the FBI might be eavesdropping. And his efforts to set the dogs on the State officials who were in charge of the election has only hardened their resolve.

Sadly for Trump, the charges will be laid under Georgia’s laws, so Trump won’t be able to pardon himself even if he becomes President again.

As much as this is a most-deserving outcome, I will believe it when I see it. And even if he is indicted, it will drag on for years until Donald is no longer relevant in GOP circles.

The funny thing is that Trump could run for President from a jail cell! An independent candidate did exactly that around 100 years ago. The argument is that the Constitution lays down only 3 requirements: he must be 35+, be a natural born American, & must have lived in the US for the last 14 years. There’s no requirement that he be free or without convictions. But Trump would set a new first by being the first candidate of one of the 2 major parties. Yay! Another first for Trump, maybe.
