Timing wise as we look ahead. we believe that the charges, there is a substantial likelihood that there may be rico charges against a number of different folks and that may take time to present. it is certainly not the kind of thing that i would imagine could be presented in one day. particularly because grand jurors are allowed to ask questions. i think one of the unknown factors is who the witnesses might be to present the case. is it going to be one investigator from the d.a. s office? is it going to be a series of witnesses? so all of those variables will help dictate how long it will take to present this case. georgia on the precipice of a possible third indictment of the expresident is where we begin this hour with some of our favorite reporters and friends. the editor at large is back with us. also joining us, former assistant district attorney, and the chairman of the
