On the other hand the predictions other posts make that Trump and his crime syndicate will never be held accountable seem pretty dubious too.

So far he’s getting away with it all. If they lock him up, his cult of MAGAts will be in the streets and I’m here for it. Bring it you knuckle dragging losers.

metaphor

mĕt?ə-fôr?, -fər

noun

A figure of speech in which a word or phrase that ordinarily designates one thing is used to designate another, thus making an implicit comparison, as in “a sea of troubles” or
One thing conceived as representing another; a symbol.

A figure of speech by which, from some supposed resemblance or analogy, a name, an attribute, or an action belonging to or characteristic of one object is assigned to another to which it is not literally applicable; the figurative transfer of a descriptive or affirmative word or phrase from one thing to another; implied comparison by transference of terms: as, the ship spread its wings to the breeze; “Judah is a lion's whelp,” Gen. xlix. 9.

The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition.

I’ve seen lots of metaphors on DU over the years.

The OP is not suggesting the Attorney General is going to actually murder the former president at the behest of some political faction.

...but I certainly have no feeling whatsoever that anything is at all imminent.

Even when Trump is finally perhaps indicted, there's no way Trump, even in the best case, wouldn't be booked then almost immediately released on bail.

Fuck, even if he's finally not just indicted but convicted (after a trial that drags on for months or years), then sentencing will probably be scheduled a few months after the conviction.

When and if he's finally sentenced, expect a leisurely amount of time that Trump will be given to check himself into custody, which will probably just be house arrest anyway.

Best case for Trump actually, technically being "imprisoned": House arrest 2-3 years from now. He might easily die from age and fast food first.

Trump was able to borrow someone's jet to get to DC.

In any event he's still free to leave the country.

He has committed numerous felonies, many serious misdemeanors and actually admitted them on national TV... Any other citizen would already have been tried... but he is loose committing more crimes and thumbing his nose at all of us...

I will believe he will be held responsible when I see it happen...

The "bloated tick" cannot escape. It's coming said the "scarecrow"...but the tick is too bloated to see it.
