I applaud Bragg etc for having the courage to follow the law and I anticipate a flood of indictments for TFG now that the ice is broken.
The importance of this first indictment has generally been overlooked, I think, and I'm glad you pointed it out.
New York going first also gave them a great deal of intelligence. They saw that putting the entirety of the NYPD on alert and in uniform sent one hell of a message about how much MAGA bull shit would be tolerated. ZERO. And counter protestors learned the MAGA grifters could be driven off with whistles. They are indeed not much more than whiney snow flakes.
That was my thought. NYC is not even approachable by most rednecks from out of town. They were scared to try a big protest there, and it would have been handled smartly if they had. Even the brassy VP-in-waiting, Marjorie Traitor Greene, only stayed a very few minutes before heading back to more hospitable territory.
