      Federal cases have extremely high conviction rates and I’m sure a case of this caliber has a solid foundation before being brought. The only main thing that can stop it is the difficulty in finding an unbiased jury.

    This is good for the rule of law and accountability, but this will likely help make the Republican primary less of a clownshow in a way that I think very likely will help the GOP.

      Ehhh, I’m not so sure. The Clown had a knack for dragging those people who never voted or were nonpolitical, prior to 2016, into voting booths. Without him do they care to vote?

        Good point. Still, I worry that most dangerous thing to happen to the country next year is for someone to win with Trump’s policies, but with a higher degree of competence and professionalism.

        It’s hard to say if his base will see and get engaged enough to vote for that. Culture Warrior DeSantis seems to get them pretty excited.
