SEASON 2 EPISODE 13: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN

A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: The former president of the United States is indicted in Georgia, accused of leading in essence a criminal gang that committed 161 separate illegal acts or components. 161. From the fake electors scheme through the breaching of the voting machines in Coffee County to the phone call to Brad Raffensberger to find the 11,780 votes to the abuse of the state poll workers to lying to the State Senate to trying to bring the Vice President in on the conspiracy to trying to bring the Department of JUSTICE in on the conspiracy to a specific charge that Trump directed his aide Johnny McEntee to develop a specific plan to PREVENT the Electoral Vote count and certification on January 6th. 

19 defendants. They have until a week from Friday to turn themselves in. There are arrest warrants ready for all of them. There is an arrest warrant ready for Trump. There is a mugshot camera ready for Trump. Oh and there are 30 unindicted co-conspirators. There is an unindicted co-conspirator Number 30.

It is… breathtaking. It is… sprawling. It is… 98 pages long. It is… national – prosecutors say the criminal enterprise also operated in the District of Columbia, in Arizona, in Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. It makes Jack Smith look like he’s throwing six darts while Fani Willis brought a six-foot tall pile of arrows. The trials could go on for years. Like Wyatt Earp chasing down The Clanton Gang went on for years. Hell – analyzing this indictment could go on for years. No wonder this became the first-ever PRIME TIME edition of the Donald Trump Gets Indicted Again show. It is the War and Peace of American political criminology.

And because of his threats against Fani Willis, and Jack Smith, and Judge Chutkan, there is the chance that he does not meet the key legal requirement to be allowed out on bail: "D) POSES NO SIGNIFICANT RISK OF INTIMIDATING WITNESSES OR OTHERWISE OBSTRUCTING THE ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE."

B-Block (26:48) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS (30:55) IN SPORTS (36:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD

C-Block (42:05) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: The time I nearly hired Monica Lewinsky's lawyer to save me from having to do a nightly show about Monica Lewinsky.
