      Useful tool! I don’t see the NY case going far tbh. Of course, he couldn’t pardon himself from that, so it’s still important.

        Yeah, NY and GA can’t be pardoned, but of course GA also has a Republican governor… sooo who knows?

          Georgia pardons have to jump through hoops that presidential pardons and those from other governors do not. I don’t know how to set the odds, but everyone thinks the odds the GA indictments get pardoned is relatively low (compared to say, an indictment in Florida under DeSantis).

            Georgia passed a law (that Kemp signed) allowing for the removal of DAs. My expectation is as soon as she files charges, they’ll just have her removed and that will be the end of it (except for the rioting). ;)

              Yes. This is possible. Hopefully that would bring federal charges in Georgia for such baked corruption.

          I think the GA case will go farther than the NY case. Ig I was just fixating on trial dates when I made my previous comment. Now that I think about it, I imagine it will be a big issue in the next GA gov race, at least in the GOP primary.
