Ted Cruz started to make a good legal point about Trump's indictment, then ruined it
"The political reaction to Donald Trump’s indictment predictably has been a mess, but Ted Cruz actually made a good point — then, of course, quickly ruined it.
The Republican senator from Texas was responding to the following tweet from former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi:
Law students can recognize a problem lurking in the California Democrat’s otherwise laudatory statement that no one is above law. The problem is that defendants don’t need to prove their innocence at trial. Defendants have no burden at all. Rather, the burden is on the government to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt. (Also, if I’m being picky, and I am, we can’t presume that the grand jury “acted upon the facts and the law,” though a judge will review transcripts of the grand jury presentation in evaluating Trump’s inevitable motion to dismiss the indictment.)"
