Instead of drilling a hole, another way to do it is to slam an asteroid on the other side of the planet.

much easier to prosecute this sort of thing under RICO in Georgia than with the equivalent federal law
The Atlantic had some commentary about how broad the Georgia indictment is, compared to the Federal one for Jan 6. Basically, Jack Smith is looking at the political calendar, and wants to have very narrow charges that can go to trial quickly. A broader, comprehensive set of charges would result in a more complicated, slower trial, with the possibility that Trump might win in 2024 and then just terminate the whole thing. If Smith wins the earlier trial, he can still come back and bring wider charges, against, say, all the co-conspirators, but the first trial needs to happen early.
The Georgia one is less constrained by this political calendar, and the DA can bring the broadest range of charges into play, to show most of what Trump & Co were doing.
The drawback to what Georgia is doing is setting a precedent for local prosecutors to bring charges against former Presidents. You can imagine political revenge by some rinky dink GOP prosecutor in Oklahoma or something indicting Biden out of spite.
This is a state-level case, so it would be Georgia’s criminal code that would apply, not Federal

On the other hand, the Simpsons did a not-so-funny-now with this:
Remember that the USSR included not just Russians but Ukrainians.

I find this hypothetical posed by this social media user to be poorly phrased, somewhat irksome and deficient in interpersonal empathy. I will use my considerably greater mental resources to consider why this user felt obliged too ask this hypothetical, and provide a suitable answer.
The Telltale game (I haven’t played it yet) seems to be based on Drummer from the TV show. TV Drummer is radically different from Book Drummer. Book Drummer, certainly in the first six books, is a very minor presence, as the security chief on Tycho Station. TV Drummer is a composite of several book characters.
IIRC, there’s a bit of minor head cannon involving Book Drummer and “The Butcher of Anderson Station”. That might be referenced in the Telltale game, since it’s a prequel for TV Drummer.
