The Issue: The indictment of Donald Trump over his attempt to overturn the 2020 election result in Georgia.
Like many who are concerned about the rule of law and equal treatment under the law, I was delighted to see former President Donald Trump and 18 others indicted by an Atlanta-area grand jury in the 2020 election-subversion case (“Mafia Don,” Aug. 15).
However there are several matters about which we should be concerned.
First, I wish Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis would not put Trump on trial at the same time as the 18 others. That will not only be logistically difficult and complicated but will create delays, dragging out the legal process to possibly not conclude before the 2024 election.
Second, I worry that thus far there has been no coordination between Willis and special counsel Jack Smith.
There is a huge issue of timing that must be resolved. It is unclear whether the federal or Georgia case will come first and how that might impact the timeline for completing a trial.

So, what’s new? “Mafia Don” Trump has been indicted once again for trying to rip off my vote.
I’m neither a Republican nor Democrat, but I sure as hell don’t want a sneak thief like Trump interfering with my constitutional rights.
