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.

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.

Will wealthy white men ever actually do any jail time for their crimes?

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

“e.g.” not “i.e.”

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.
