    But nothing …….. so far. Prosecutorial discretion I suppose. Includes a who’s who list potential defendants.

    Georgia special grand jury recommended charging Lindsey Graham in Trump case — The Washington Post
    ATLANTA — An Atlanta-area special grand jury that spent months investigating alleged 2020 election interference in Georgia by Donald Trump and his allies agreed the former president should be indicted in the case and also recommended charging one of Trump’s closest associates, Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) — though a prosecutor ultimately declined to seek an indictment for him in the case.


    But the special grand jury’s recommendations went beyond the charges Willis and her team ultimately pursued in the case — suggesting at least 10 other people be criminally charged in the matter, including Graham, Trump attorneys Cleta Mitchell and Boris Epshteyn, former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn and former Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, both Republicans from Georgia.

    I assume this is sarcasm “but, but” based on your posting history, but you deserve an OT rating. :D

    People talk about the Clinton's body count, but Trump’s lives ruined count is going to end up being quite impressive.

    I note many targets and charges that received a single "no" vote. I bet it was the same person each time. Not sure what we can tell from that, if anything, about the difficulty of getting a unanimous vote of jurors in the trials.

    It's like comparing everyone of the bad guys/gals on Game of Thrones bodycount vs the Dragon Queen, it's not even close. That blonde killed more in one hour than all the other villians combined over ten years.

    I'm glad this came out because it shows, at least for now, the SA is showing restraint and not just engaged in the political witch the criminals on the other side are claiming.

    That really does stick out. One tried and true MAGA person on the jury that has already made their mind up and the defendants will walk. Might be better for the lesser-knowns to go to trial with trump for that reason.

    If the jury is hung at like 11-1 for guilty, then the prosecutors could retry.

    Won’t stop them from saying it. Just indict them all and “let the people decide”.

    If it's hung at 11-1 for not guilty, they can retry. They may not want to, but they can.

    You could make the opposite argument and say “if she was consistent she would
    charge all of them” But that would have come Across as too sweeping and clearly political… so she decided to not dilute and keep focus on orange man for max political impact

    Not sure I follow. If they decided to indict these others along with trump, how would that lessen the political impact on Trump?
