The courts aren’t taking care of Trump and we can’t live in denial about the state of play. Meanwhile, words keep failing him at his weird rallies—and telling Romney voters you don't need them doesn't seem all that smart when Nikki gets 30% of the vote. Kristol rejoins Tim, and Wittes is back for a mini-Trump Trials.
Federalist D.C. Columnist Eddie Scarry and Federalist Culture Editor Emily Jashinsky break down Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis's prosecution of former President Donald Trump, discuss her relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, and analyze the corporate media's cheerful coverage of all the absurdity.
You can find Scarry's books including his latest, Liberal Misery: How the Hateful Left Sucks Joy Out of Everything and Everyone,here.
If you care about combatting the corrupt media that continue to inflict devastating damage on our country, please give a gift to help The Federalist do the real journalism America needs.

Today we take up the very confusing statement by Kamala Harris yesterday that the media are treating as a change in administration policy with its seeming call for an immediate ceasefire. The problem is that while Harris surely wanted the headlines she's getting, the policy itself was not changed by her words at all. Then again, who can tell what is going on in an administration whose head is now viewed by a significant majority of the American people as incapable of actually being president? Give a listen.
