BD, if indeed that is their plan, there had better be more to that plea deal than taking that serial liar’s word that he won’t run again.

In other words, it had better be the kind of plea deal that’s backed by the law, to ensure that he absolutely cannot ever run for ANY political office again. End of story. Full stop.

Anything short of that is foolishness and a dangerous pipedream.

If the majority of American voters show up and vote, No, he won’t. 

“Or, will the hits just keep coming as the Trump Terminator builds case after case that can only end with ‘The Donald’ spending his remaining years in federal prison?” 

He certainly deserves to spend the rest of his miserable life in federal prison. But I doubt that he actually will.

I do expect case after case to keep building and hopefully he’ll be convicted of at least one charge, if not multiple charges, and sentenced to serve Some time in prison. 

Donald Trump received some no good, extremely bad legal news on Friday, when The Guardian reported that Fani Willis, the Fulton County district attorney criminally investigating his attempt to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia has “developed evidence to charge a sprawling racketeering indictment next month,” according to people familiar with the matter. Obviously, being charged with racketeering would be exactly as bad as it sounds—and yet somehow, that wasn’t even the worst news the ex-president received today.

Instead, it was likely the decision by Aileen Cannon—a federal judge Trump himself appointed—to set a trial date of May 20, 2024, for Trump to face off with the federal government in the classified-documents case, that had staffers and aides hiding in hallways and coat closets to avoid Trump’s ire (and whatever ketchup bottles he could get his hands on). While the spring date is several months later than prosecutors had requested, it is very much well before the post-election one Team Trump had been angling for in the hopes of putting it off until the ex-president could have won a second term and made all of his legal problems—on the federal level, that is—go away.

In related news, The Washington Post reports that Trump’s many legal issues—including the New York case, the DOJ’s documents case, and the possible Georgia case, and the DOJ’s election-interference case that he’s expected to be charged in—are eating into a huge amount of campaign funds:

And if you’re thinking perhaps Trump was chipping in at least a little bit of his own money for his legal fees, think again. According to the Post, the former guy “is not relying on his personal fortune to cover his legal bills.” (You expected Trump pay for this s–t out of pocket like some kind of commoner? C’mon now.)
