Which investigation do you think is most likely to nail Trump?


The Georgia and NY ones seem pretty promising. Not sure if they can nail him down on Jan 6th. If you had to pick the one you think is most likely to bring an indictment which would you pick and why?

jury verdict...? That's another question. Juries seem to have their own ideas of what's just/unjust sometimes.

To be honest, I don't think any of them will indict Trump despite sufficient evidence. The DAs know there would be riots, and none of them want the headaches.

but I still think there will be no charges against Trump. They would have to be 100% certain of a conviction to even start the proceedings, and knowing that half of the people still think he's a god, I don't think they'd start. It would also be political suicide.

Those folks are not fooled by people like Trump. The Feds will likely need to keep their eyes on the process, just to make sure they stay on the right track? (Otherwise, the Feds should not get involved)
