Asha and Renato delve into the complexities of the Georgia case, which contains a sprawling indictment against Donald Trump and other defendants that still has 32-counts remaining, including the wide-ranging racketeering charge. You’ll also hear their analysis on that judge's ruling on state versus federal supremacy in perjury cases which resulted in last week’s dismissals and you’ll get an overall update on the status of District Attorney Fani Willis' case. 

Our hosts also discuss the various legal challenges and rulings from the Georgia case, including several previously quashed charges over issues related to specificity and perjury. Burrowing into the weeds, we’ll cover the unique challenges of determining jurisdiction and reach in state versus federal law in these groundbreaking cases. And you’ll hear an expert examination of how the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause and the Electoral Count Act play into it all. 

Asha and Renato also explore how these recent developments will impact those who pleaded guilty to Georgia charges that have since been quashed. Specifically, they ponder over convicted Trump lawyer Kenneth Cheeseborough’s plea deal and what the nullified charges might mean for him.  

They’ll also explain why the Fulton County’s Election Board’s potential growing influence on national elections is so significant, and give you the latest on the Democratic Party’s major lawsuit filed against the Board.
