Closing take

The through-line on August 29 was simple: Trump’s 2020 lie was still generating fresh institutional headaches in 2023. Even without a brand-new indictment that day, the Georgia case kept proving it was not some ceremonial political squall. It was an ongoing legal and political sinkhole, and everyone still standing nearby was getting dirt on their shoes.
