It’s also worth noting that while Trump is blowing hard about Georgia having an elected Democrat as state prosecutor, all the prosecutor can actually do at this stage is *ask* a Grand Jury to review the charges and the evidence and decide whether there’s a case to answer. The Grand Jury votes and the defendants are then either indicted, or else there’s no case to answer.

The Grand Jury in this case consisted of 23 individuals, and all of them will have been subjected to the usual theatrical and overblown jury selection process the American legal system loves so much. Trump’s legal team will have had the opportunity to spot and object to any obvious attempt to stack the jury politically against him. So even *if* the prosecution was politically motivated, it still stands or falls on the evidence, and the evidence has already been in front of a jury large enough that there’s simply no way it could have been a democrat stitch-up.
