    With 19 defendants it’s going to be a scheduling mess, never mind the mountain of discovery. There are also 30 unindicted co-conspirators who might flip and cause charges to get added or they themselves get added causing this current indictment to get replaced with a new one. No, this one will be slow. The interesting part is that Trump may very well have to sit in a some form of detention awaiting trial because of the witness tampering charges plus the fact that just 24 hours ago he was trying to intimidate a witness into not testifying in front of the grand jury.

      It will certainly be interesting to see how they handle Trump. I read that Georgia doesn’t have governor pardons equivalent to the presidential pardon at the federal level, it has a pardon review board and you have to complete your sentence and then be crime-free for the following five years to even apply.

      On its surface, this case seems like it is the hardest for Trump to get out of.
