"Every defendant charged with racketeering in Georgia is, of course, a member of the Republican Party, which until recently, at least, was known as the party of law and order. Since the multiple indictments of Donald Trump, however, the Republican Party has taken a sudden pro-crime turn, with many Republicans, including Trump himself, calling for the defunding and dissolution of the Department of Justice and the FBI."

He should resign immediately.
If he were indicted for some business or personal matter, maybe not, but this is public corruption and includes national security implications.
As Democrats, we cannot tolerate this even as allegations.
If we're going to prosecute the corruption of the Supreme Court in the court of public opinion, as we must, he has to go. Now.

“It’s hard to grasp the complete derangement of this moment. Three days before they’re set to shut down the United States government, Republicans launch a baseless impeachment drive against President Biden. No one can figure out the logic of either course of action. Why shut down the U.S. government, something no enemy nation has ever succeeded in doing?"
