A whopping catch-22:

A judge ruled this morning that Georgia’s Republican governor Brian Kemp must testify before a special grand jury that’s investigating possible illegal attempts by then-president Donald Trump and others to influence the 2020 election in the state – but not until after the November midterm election, the Associated Press reports.

See, this is a problem. It’s clear enough why it’s not desirable to have criminal investigations of political candidates happening close to an election, but, and this is a huge “but,” it’s also not desirable to remain in ignorance of the criminality or complicity in criminality of political candidates until it’s too late. You see what I mean? We get why Kemp doesn’t want to be investigated or testify two months before an election, but we don’t want to remain in ignorance of exactly how criminal or implicated Kemp is until it’s too late.

It’s really not clear to me why the first want outweighs the second.

If Kemp is dirty, shouldn’t Georgia voters learn that before the election rather than after? Isn’t it relevant?
