The Georgia charges on election and criminal solicitation charges is probably going to lead to other people being investigated in charged. The election conspiracy was far far bigger than the hush money payoffs, which were a relatively discreet event involving a small circle of confederates.

The federal charges on illegal classified document possession and obstruction justice employed in the cover-up is certain to net a few Trump circle inside characters. There's already one lawyer who's coming clean and I'm sure she's flippable. Trump seems uniquely talented at recruiting potential backstabbers onto his team.

But it's the overall fake elector and incitement to riot schemes that are the biggest activities and the ones that could lead to a bottomless pit of co-conspirators in need of indictment.

I originally wanted to give you a quick little answer. But the sheer volume of the former president's criminal enterprises takes a while to contemplate. For instance, we haven't even seen investigations and indictments start on the influence peddling and leveraging of government positions to solicit bribes and insider contract deals. That garden variety type of corruption rarely gets the spotlight it deserves. But that's the real meat and potatoes of how the love of money perverts our democracy
