trump s historic indictment isn t just pushing the country into uncharted legal territory. it s also pushing it into uncharted political territory. so how will this play out for the former president in the polls? well, we will have to wait to find out. but what we do know for certain now is that trump s republican allies on capitol hill there boisterously rallying behind him and fanning the flames of outrage in his defense. we will wake up in a very different america tomorrow because we can no longer have moral authority against the dictators and despot s who would always find it easier to jail their political rivals. they re sending a message and the message is they will use any power that they have to interfere in the next presidential election. this case will follow like a cheap suit under legal scrutiny. this is going to destroy america. we re going to fight back at the ballot box. we re not going to give in. how does this end sean
