We cats didn't stay up for the big Georgia indictment reveal at midnight last night (we sleep 18 hours a day, you know), but we did happen to catch Judge Robert McBurney's reaction when the sealed documents were returned to him at about 9 pm.
Yeah, "Whoa!" indeed.
Nineteen co-defendants is a lot of people to keep track of. One glance at the list reveals a lot of non-household names, but quick research shows that a lot of them are false electors, or Coffee County vote-machine tamperers, or (the worst of the lot) assholes who terrorized elections workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss. Of particular note was the inclusion of Mark Meadows, who everyone thought had flipped, and the exclusion of Lady Lindsey Graham, which disappointed a lot of the tweeps we follow.
It was also satisfying to see charges for the ever-obnoxious Bible banger Jenna Ellis, who today has tweeted that she's turning her case over to the Lord. Is He licensed to practice law in Georgia? (And she'll need Him, because Trump's PAC won't pay a nickel for her defense, LOL.)
Last but not least, aside from Benedict Donald himself — who now has an iron grip on the formerly-held-by-George-W.-Bush moniker Worst Person Who's Ever Lived — has anyone fallen farther than Rudy Giuliani? Remember when he was TIME's Person of the Year after 9/11? Now he's charged under the very RICO laws he famously used as a prosecutor.
Trump now faces 91 felony counts across his four indictments in New York, Washington, Miami and Atlanta. Nobody knows how he's going to keep his silly 2024 campaign going as all these trials unfold, but one thing is clear: He's not being prosecuted while he's running for President. He's running for President while he's being prosecuted. There's a difference. We cats PURR.
