Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis late Monday gave former President Trump and 18 co-defendants until Aug. 25 at noon to voluntarily surrender in Georgia following an indictment that unveiled multiple charges in connection to their attempts to interfere in the 2020 election.

    People can care about more than one thing at a time, you know.

    Trump is merely the latest Republican president to be caught cheating, though he did it in a spectacularly stupid and egregiously public way.

    We didn’t pursue charges the last two times this happened, and look where that got us.

    So it’s pretty weird that you don’t care to hold the man who is responsible for the first non-peaceful transition in the history of the presidency accountable for his attempt to deprive us of our right to select the people who represent us.

      Yep, even if it were a either/or (it’s not) I’d rather justice be served than political expedience.

      If doing the right thing and holding Trump accountable for his crimes costs us the election, fine. I’d rather be remembered by history as the generation that tried to do the right thing and failed.
