“Investigating” Trump

I don’t really get all these “investigations.” You have the recording of the call. Outside of listening to it, what is there to investigate?

There are statutes in Georgia that criminalize election tampering, and they’re not written in Old Norse or some secret code.

I would think you either bring charges or you don’t.

What am I missing here?

    My guess is that whilst that may be enough to warrant charges, that a full investigation will be needed to determine who was involved, if pressure was applied from other angles etc.

    Very likely a crime was committed but the exact ways and persistence with which the crime was committed will have a bearing on the severity of the offence – like for example a home robbery with threats of violence is viewed as more serious than a burglar who enters quietly through an open window, takes a few items and leaves without threatening anyone or breaking anything.
