I was waiting for the Fulton County, Ga., indictment of former president Donald Trump — and, it seems, a cast of thousands — with an open mind. Fani Willis in Atlanta, like Alvin Bragg in Manhattan, is first and foremost an elected Democrat and, in this era (which I hope fades away soon) it is good politics for an elected Democrat to wield the law-enforcement powers with which she has been trusted against the party’s nemesis. That, naturally, does not make for good law enforcement — quite the opposite.
