Nah, I don’t see it. It might be a political scandal regarding how tax payer money is being spent, but it’s not going to impact the fairness of the trial. > [@flurb](#): > > Wade has paid for vacations for the both of them.

That doesn’t impact trial. And no defendant has a _right_ to a plea. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-happens-if-trump-is-indicted-in-georgia-indicted-on-august-14-2023/979928)._
