MORE Indictments
It's looking like Donald Trump is about to pick up his third indictment, which will focus on his attempts to drum up false election certifications around the country as part of his press to remain in power that culminated in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol. (It feels surreal to even write that-- an attack on the Capitol fomented by a sitting president who wanted to remain in power after losing and election).
This one will probably go to the District Court in Washington, his third unique venue. That matters, too, since it means that the various charges can't easily be traded off in a deal. Prosecutors basically have three unique shots at him... and maybe four, if Georgia charges him in state court.
Not that it will hurt his chances in the Republican primary. And no, I can't explain that one-- maybe IPLawGuy (who is much more politically savvy than I am) can take a crack at it...
