new investigations every week and move on an indictment. We are allowing Donald Trump to recruit people that wish to destroy Democracy in general and us in particular. It is past time to muzzle this traitor.

as an attempt to protect himself from prosecution.

It remains to be seen what effect this will have on the investigations but it sure won't make things easier.

always add new charges later. May be helpful to stagger them. Any prosecutors out there?

just in case one would ENERGIZE his MAGAts to go out and vote because we know they'll
vote a straight R ballot. Just my 2 cents for what it's worth.

Justice matters.

No indictment or one-two-three-four-five indictments.

The notion that his violent crazies will not go out and vote straight R ballots if he's not indicted is simply ridiculous.

They are a MINORITY anyway. And the R-voters pool is shrinking a little more each day.

I say if he's NOT indicted, many still-on-the-fence voters will NOT be energized to go out and vote straight D ballot because they'd be disgusted that that obvious criminal is still free to incite violence everyday like he is above the law and THEY aren't.

9. Lots of people sit out the midterms

and MAGAts are no different especially since their Fuhrer isn't on the ballot. Currently the energy for
the midterms is on our side because of Roe vs Wade. We have no way of knowing how MAGAts will
react if he's indicted, we can guess all we want about the unknown but it is still an unknown.
He's going to jail eventually and we'll find out when the DOJ makes their move.

Justice matters.
