What questions do you have related to the Trump indictment?

Submitted by bravestatevt t3_127n0sn in vermont

i.e. What even is an indictment? What is the timeline? What are the next steps? What else do you want to know?

Many in the Vermont Public newsroom are working on gathering information and offering explainers about about the Trump news, and your questions would be really helpful in shaping our coverage.

Our midday show Vermont Edition will host a live call-in show on this topic from noon to 1pm today. Meanwhile, here's an overview NPR put together.

There's more coming, it's not like you can only be indicted once

None. It had been nice not caring one iota about him for a while.

Please explain the process. Or. An indictment in secret provides evidence most favorable to the government (DA). This DOES not mean he is guilty just means a bunch of people during a secret decided based on partial evidence (no exculpatory evidence) that there is enough to bring a charge.

Another man has ALREADY BEEN CONVICTED of the same series of events.

Trump was the unindicted co-conspirator in the trial of the first individual (Mr Cohen) and only avoided prosecution due to the US Justice Department prohibition against indicting a sitting president.

This case is the easiest case to prosecute given all the evidence that is available.

What took so long? Cohen was indicted for crimes long ago and Individual One was implicated then. Why was he not perp walked the day he left the WH?

My question is.... what about this post is VT specific? Maybe post this in the VT politics sub rather than trolling here.

just in that we're trying to hear from VT-ers. VT Politics is a good suggestion, thanks

If discussing where cellphone batteries come from (not VT-specific) is appropriate then certainly Chief Insurrectionist news is appropriate.

That is not appropriate either. This is not a discussion where a conversation may lead to a topic. This is a news organization attempting to capitalize on the indictment of Trump.

It doesn’t matter what your take on the indictment is, the topic is not about Vermonters Vermonting or whatever the catch phrase is. This is national news and deserving of discussion and attention, it just does not belong in this sub.
