You know politics and its collision with the legal system has gone cuckoo when a judge conjures up a dark German fairy tale — and it perfectly captures reality.
That was the case when Fulton County Judge Robert McBurney referred to the Brothers Grimm to sum up the antics of one Donald Trump.
In March, Trump’s lawyers asked the court — McBurney — to toss the special grand jury report and to remove Fulton District Attorney Fani Willis, and the judge himself, from the proceedings. The special grand jury explored Trump’s efforts to deep-six the 2020 election. An announcement is expected later this month.
An indictment in Fulton would be the fourth for the country’s 45th president, who hopes to be its 47th. The third came Tuesday — felony charges connected to his efforts to hang onto power after the 2020 election. He’s also charged in a federal case in Florida, concerning classified documents. And he faces state charges in New York connected to money and the porn star.
Back in Fulton County, there’s an upside in the bizarro world that surrounds Trump.
