- Nojo neatly summarizes the legal week with one photo and a three word headline.
- Legal expert Imani Gandy of Rewire News Group explains, in very simple terms, this week’s Trump related drama in Georgia.
And I react:All I ask is: if we ever meet & I offend, no matter in what way…

- One oft heard defense of Trump and Associates is that prosecutors can’t prove he knew he had lost and believed he had lost.
Wisconsin conservative James Wigderson isn’t picking up what they’re laying down:Actually it doesn't work that way. He still chose to undermine the election result through fraud (the fake electors, false claims, attempting to coerce public officials into breaking the law) and then had a plan to use the military to suppress any protests as a result.

One or two humorless MAGA members tried to defend the stats. Poor souls.
Actually, he was not weighed and measured.

- As Republicans accuse the Biden administration of politicizing law enforcement. President Biden responds by not responding, insisting on a hands off approach.
Trump, during his term, seemed exempt from Republican accusations of politicizing law enforcement. Sarah Cooper fondly recalls
those halcyon days when Donald Trump was in charge.
- Today, the Texas Attorney General could give lessons on selling law enforcement to his pals, but enjoys a similar indulgence:
- The Republican base does seem convinced that mr Trump is innocent of any wrongdoing. Not everyone is buying it.
News Corpse has the numbers.
Most Americans tell pollsters they are convinced mr Trump is guilty.
