Live updates: Trump and others indicted in Georgia
Jury has reportedly returned 10 indictments, but who was charged and what the charges were has not been revealed
MSNBC just said it's a single 41 count indictment. Previous reporting said it was 10 indictments. That was based on a screengrab that outlets used as rush-to-air unchecked copypasta.
CNN - I alphabetized it...

Copied the full post over as I imagine it gets buried under the news
Things to get out of the way:
- I know a U.S. president can't pardon state level crimes
- I know the Georgia governor can't pardon state crimes in Georgia
In Georgia a council, appointed by the governor, has the pardon power in the state after it was stripped from GA governors because of corruption in the past.
As far as I'm aware (per coverage of things tonight), that council is all Republican and only has loose self-imposed guidelines/norms about the process by which a person can apply for a pardon.
Why do liberals think this is a slam dunk when that council can seemingly at any time change these rules to the extent of even giving a preemptive pardon? The governor can't replace these people instantly as they're on some x year term scheme.
Is this just more hopeful "the walls are closing in" or am I missing something here?
Edit also the Georgia state republicans gave themselves the power to fire D.A.s in 2 weeks time. It's obvious this is going to be used, no?
So the whole gambit is cooked. No shot this is taking him down. Not surprised lol, libs think the system is the inerrant word of God.
Yeah it seems pretty easy for him to get out of this and even if he were to go to prison, he'll still likely win the election
