Very, very false equivalency! Over 100 alleged felonies, backed by huge piles of hard facts, some from his own mouth, are what Trump is facing. Rumors, innuendos, and baseless speculation, is what they have on Joe.
In contrast to the special counsel Jack Smith’s latest laser-focused federal indictment of Mr. Trump, Ms. Willis charges a wide range of conspirators, from people in the Oval Office to low-level Georgia G.O.P. functionaries, and is the first to plumb the full depths, through a state-focused bathyscaph, of the conspiracy.
Her case also provides other important complements to the federal matter: Unlike Mr. Smith’s case, which will almost certainly not be broadcast because of federal standards, hers will almost certainly be televised, and should Mr. Trump or another Republican win the White House, Ms. Willis’s case cannot be immediately pardoned away.
It offers transparency and accountability insurance. As she said in her news conference on Monday night, “The state’s role in this process is essential to the functioning of our democracy.”
But the indictment stands out, above all, because Georgia offers uniquely compelling evidence of election interference — and a set of state criminal statutes tailor-made for the sprawling, loosely organized wrongdoing that Mr. Trump and his co-conspirators are accused of engaging in.
It is a reminder of the genius of American federalism: When our democracy is threatened, states have an indispensable part to play in protecting it.
At 98 pages, Ms. Willis’s indictment is more than twice the size of Mr. Smith’s indictment in his Jan. 6 case and contains 19 defendants to his one.
The indictment charges 41 counts (to Mr. Smith’s four) — among them, Georgia election crimes like solicitation of violation of oath by public officer (for Mr. Trump’s infamous demand to Georgia’s secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, to just “find 11,780 votes”)
…and state offenses like forgery and conspiracy to commit forgery (for creating fake electoral certificates)
…and conspiracy to commit computer trespass (for unlawfully accessing election machines in Coffee County ✁

Drop the charges? On Hunter?
NO WAY!!
We have NO other way of proving The Messiah’s innocence.
.
Besides, we don’t know what the charges are yet. It’s only been two years.

Also, but Hillary’s emails…

I new precedent has been set and now both sides seem to be fighting for a single party system.

Hey, Scott, on one side you have specific charges, with evidence, brought by a prosecutor, presented to a grand jury. That’s called “due process.”
On the other side, you have gasbags on TV, just throwing random accusations at the wall to see if anything sticks.
There are no “two sides” on this one, Scott.
