The Indictment of Jack Smith in the Republican Primary Race

If you want to prosper in a Republican primary race the thing that you really want to do is get indicted a bunch of times. It's very strange incentive now that's been introduced into US politics and it kind of gets to why I was most disturbed on some level by the indictment yesterday. Jack Smith has introduced this novel theory whereby a whole vast slew of new political conduct has been criminalized that would not have been previously thought of as even cognizable as a criminal violation.
