1. ...yes...but the sentencing will be tricky..

[Karadeniz]

10. To me, the sentencing SHOULD be a no brainer. Another jury sent Trump's gofer, Cohen, to prison. The

mastermind of the Stormy bribery scheme should receive the same sentence as Cohen, if not more.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

2. I've no doubt Benedict Donald will be indicted,

that's, IMO, pretty much a given, whether or not he'll be tried and convicted is another story.

[sarisataka]

3. Will he be indicted on something?

Possibly, maybe even probably.

Will he be indicted on the highest charges people want? Very unlikely.

[Walleye]

4. I just want to see him wiping the fingerprint ink off his hand

[JohnSJ]

5. Regardless, if indicted he will simply delay and not be convicted

[speak easy]

8. He is saying an indictment, like his 2019 impeachment,

(and Clinton's 1998 impeachment) will be a political plus.

[Silent3]

6. I'm really pissed at the slow and timid pace of going after Trump, but SOMETHING will probably...

...come through with at least four possible situations pending.

God knows how long the start of any trial will be delayed and delayed and delayed, how long any trial will be dragged out, and if a conviction is reached, how leisurely the sentencing hearing schedule will be, and how long Trump will remain free while every legally-absurd appeal is made, probably all the way up to the SCOTUS.

7. I've been bitterly disappointed that he hasn't been

And he looks likely to skate through the courts and get away with more stuff that would send other men to jail.

9. Whatever happened to the Jean Carroll rape case?

[emulatorloo]

22. Here is a new update here. Judge allows 2 additional women to testify, and Access Hollywood

tape will be shown to jury.

See:

Judge Kaplan to allow 2 other Trump accusers to testify.

24. Thanks

[Paladin]

11. Yes, one of these years it'll probably happen.

Hope both trump and I live to see it.

[Thunderbeast]

12. The Manhattan DA charges are the weakest tea in the constellation of legal risk

In order to get a felony conviction (or maybe even a charge), Alvin Bragg will need to connect state misdemeanor business falsification charges to state election law violations. His star witness is a convicted felon (ironically imprisoned for the same crime). THIS matter is in the wrong court.

Trump SHOULD have been indicted for this crime by the DOJ at noon on January 20, 2021 as soon as his "presidential immunity" expired and his department fixers departed.

Bragg has other, more serious criminal charges to pursue following the same evidence in the Leticia James civil suit. He already has gained criminal convictions against The Trump Organization for those serious financial crimes.

In my opinion, Bragg does not have the political guts to follow the evidence to its logical target... Either that, or the Trump Crime Family is making Putin-esque threats.

13. when pigs fly

I'll believe it when and if it actually takes place

[Torchlight]

14. I tend to sway towards yes

I think there'll be some indictments hanging around his neck sometime soon. What those convictions turn out to be will lead me at that point to guess whether there will be convictions for them after announced.

[Callalily]

15. I sure hope so, but I'm skeptical.

[C_U_L8R]

16. It's the juries that are a wild card

So many corrupt magats out there to poison the pool

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

17. If the only thing he's indicted for is the Stormy Daniels payoff,

then it's meaningless.

[Silent Type]

18. Hope so. But, I'm afraid we'll still be asking this question 20 years from now.

[bif]

19. Most likely, however...

He won't serve a single day in prison, unfortunately.

[Happy Hoosier]

20. I'll pass for now.

I really want to believe so, and I see some indications it may happen, but I am now cynical. Garland seems VERY reluctant to wade into that pool, despite his protestations.

[Ned Low]

21. When you get there, ask me.

If you know the reference then good for you.

[Midnight Writer]

23. He may be indicted, but he will never spend a night in jail.
