What it looks like is a bunch of thugs trying to bully a jury into convicting their political enemies. Which, that's what it was. And now we'll know how it went down.

We are, at long last, going to know exactly what the Broadview Six prosecutors did in front of that grand jury.

US ATTORNEY ESSAYLI: Is there enough fraud to sway an election? We don't know CUOMO: No ESSAYLI: You can't say 'no.' You haven't done an investigation CUOMO: I've covered elections for 30 years. You know how many cases of widespread fraud I covered? One! And it was the Trump administration
