, within six months and she said was to try all 19 defendants together. Barb mcquade joins us once again barbed one of the things that weve been going through this and doing this live on television, its always dangerous, i feel like im finally getting a bit of closure on this indictment and some of the real human drama that we saw later particularly in the january six investigation in congress. Im thinking critically about Ruby Freedom Freeman and shaye moss, two Election Workers in georgia who work and i mean specifically who were terrorize, including having people storm into her home, people caused her neighbors, they had to go into hiding at one point before people want to make a Citizens Arrest of her all while donald trump and his allies have demonized these women, portraying them as having headed up some effort to defraud the electorate. Weve got multiple charges now, multiple felony criminal charges against people will actually try to intimidate ruby freeman, who went to her hom
