Reality Check: Unpacking the Trump Indictment


Listen Later

When the FBI executed the search warrant at Mar-a-lago and discovered a trove of confidential and top secret government documents, we did a deep dive into the realm of possibilities (EP 12: Mar-a-la-going To Prison??) should Trump ever be charged, tried and convicted.

But, we didn't know then what we know now. So, here we follow up and fill in any holes on what's in store for the former president.

In this analysis, we address the burning question: Is he being treated any differently than the average John Q Citizen that finds themselves on the receiving end of a federal indictment? In so doing, we make comparisons to another "Espionage Act" prosecution, that of Reality Winner.

The most pressing question now is what happens tomorrow?

We tried not to go over much of the ground we covered in Ep. 12. If you haven't heard it, you should check it out:
