One would have thought the recording of Trump shaking down the Georgia secretary of state would get it to the courtroom by now. It hasn't, I guess because they figure the Georgia courts will try it and if he's convicted it can always get to the USSC where it will be overturned.

There will be no real calling to account for Trump in this or any instance which would equal the criminality he inflicted/inflicts. His extortion scheme will carry him through whatever may come.
