Although we can agree about various musical enthusiasms, Psy-Fi, I fear that we are hopelessly on opposite sides of the divide in US politics.

elph and Batlord may agree with the above, but to me, that seems to be a completely inaccurate description of Trump's indictment. I prefer this explanation:-
Someone who appears to have committed a crime is accused of the crime by the law enforcement authorities.
No malign, undefined "they", so beloved of conspiracy theorists; no Trump exceptionalism. Just the application of the rules about classified documents and obstructing justice. As many commentators have mentioned, "If you or I had done what Trump did, we would have been in jail long ago." Which admittedly means that Trump has been treated exceptionally: not the victim of a political witch-hunt, though, but with extra-patient, kid-glove handling by the authorities.
