Figure that the indictment is the bait on a hook, and MTG and any crowd she manages to lure are the fish. Somebody wants/needs a big blowup right about now. The sensible thing would be a Motion for Summary Judgment, on the grounds that the statute of limitations for state charges - this is a state court, the charges are for violation of NY state statutes - was not tolled by Trump being in office. If based on the 2016 incidents, they're five years out, if on the 2018 incidents with Michael Cohen, they're three years out. One day out is sufficient to flush the case. As for anything having to do with Cohen's actions, it's actually all on him. Two possibilities - Trump tells Cohen "do whatever you have to do" and Cohen breaks the law - can't prove that Trump had intent to break the law. The other possibility is that Trump told Cohen to break the law or suggested he do it, and in that case, the rule is for the lawyer to not break the law, and to withdraw from the representation, and that's that. And a lawyer can't aid or abet his client in lying to a court, either.
