This should come as NO surprise to anyone…
From the jump?
Donald Trump HAS figured on using the media and his supporters to leverage against criminal charges he KNOWS is coming his way from different places….This is a desperate reach….
The Manhattan case might end in misdemeanor convictions that he can pay….
The Georgia case he might be able to get the Governor or lawmakers down there to get him over….
But Jack Smith IS gonna be problem….
Only President Biden will be able to save his ass….
And Trump damn well knows that the price for a pass will be NO MORE POLITICS….
Make no mistake…
Donald Trump and his lawyers KNOW he’s gonna be convicted in the files case….
He’ll try to delay things past next November’s election, since Trump keeps messing with the judges?
That is probably NOT gonna happen….
We know that Trump’s approval against charges is strong among his base, but NOT by a majority of those who would expected to vote …
This won’t be the end….
Donald Trump WILL be trying EVERYTHING he can to get OVER….
This one ain’t gonna work….

Turner (R-Ohio), “should be ordered to stand down, and the intelligence community should instead conduct an appropriate investigation and provide a full report to this Committee, as well as your counterparts in the Senate.”…

“[Trump’s] own direct actions where he is embracing, literally embracing people who participated, and saying they should be pardoned… he’s making it impossible to come up with any sort of plausible defense to a jury on this” –
