Which only goes to show what a horse's ass he is, spewing horse shit everywhere he goes!

Can't wait for the indictments to be issued.

The downsides outweigh the upsides in this scenario.*

If he is acquitted all other prosecutions will be tainted with doubt. Doubt of Trumps guilt is ridiculous, I know, but there are those who will amplify even an iota of a rumor of doubt into "witch hunt country" and they are good at and will capitalize on that wholesale condemnation of the judicial process.

If he's found guilty, many will decide, "that's enough" and "there's no need to drag the country through any more of this". Call it the weariness factor or an anticipation exhaustion. It, too, will be fertile ground to plant the seeds of doubt toward Trump's further prosecution and provide some grounds toward popular sympathy for the SOB. The new will have worn off for many after the debacle of prosecuting a former president occupies the 24/7 cable news cycle 24/7 for Yahweh knows how long.

Trumps needs to be indicted/arrested, with all his co-conspirators, for leading a coup immediately and wait in jail for trial. In every other scenario his "defense" by disrupting the body politic is a 100% success.

Nibbling into prosecution is a lose/lose proposition.

*I will gratefully take full responsibility and will endure whatever punishment (so long as it doesn't hurt) if I'm wrong.

that paying off a porn star would hurt his chances of being elected. His worshipers think it makes him 'manly' that he cheated on his wife. Especially with a porn star. And don't forget, he actually paid 2 women off. The other was a Playboy bunny.

Looking "presidential" and all in control. His handlers pretty much gave that up after the first 18 months of his term.

In any case it lowered the standards of our government's caretakers across the spectrum. Really that's about all you can count of Republicans doing with any consistency, lowering standards.

if TFG is indicted are we going to have a countdown for how many months it takes for the case to proceed to trial?

My own belief is that as he feels more and more trapped he will act out. What that means. Who knows.
Thinking that he likely to do something is not much of a stretch.

Fingers crossed, We shall see.

And the worse things get for him, the more he's in denial and acts out in an insane way...
