    The business records fraud case (“hush money” is misleading what it was) is just the first case that nothing blocked it from proceeding.

    Documents case is blocked by Canon, J6 is blocked by SCOTUS, I guess the Georgia case could proceed too, but was maybe more complicated than this one.

      Georgia is blocked due to complaints of impropriety between the DA and her special council.

      The claim is that the DA selected the special prosecutor because of their personal relationship and het ability to use this relationship to influence the special council.

      And that they used money paid to special council for personal stuff. It is bullshit, but afaik they where ordered to pick one. If the DA stays the special council needs to be replaced or vice versa.

      The DA was just reelected… and swapping special council means the new one needs to get up to apeed. Causing more delays. In my opinion, Georgia is also not happening before November regrettably (short of a hilarious twist of faith).
