I’ll celebrate when Trump is in jail and not a second before…
But that said, seriously, of the many times trump broke the law, being caught red-handed with many stolen classified documents should have been the one to jail him, not this…
If he is arrested and charged, it’ll be in court and a formality. There will be no perp walk. There will be no wearing of an orange jumper which would look like camouflage on him. He’ll go home to his gold toilet and await trial that could take years before it might happen. That being said, I’d like to see him flee to Russia though out of fear of being arrested.
There was a time when I would have instantly assumed that – under the eyes of attendant secret service agents – one could not attempt to make off without the powers that be knowing about it. But now we have SS agents who cheered on the J6 insurrection.
I saw one of his lawyers giving an interview on CNN the other day, saying that if he is indicted, that the outrage that generates will propel him into the White House in 2024. These fucking people are so delusional. I have zero sympathy for his lawyers having to deal with the shit he says that makes defending him harder. At this point, no one he hires can say they didn’t know how he was going to be as a client. After the interview, I looked over at my mother and said, “This guy is going to be suing Trump in two years because Trump never paid him. Mark my words.”
So when/if he isn’t arrested, it’s because of the MASSIVE /s demonstrations all over the country and the world in support of his continued freedom, which have been covered up by the usual govt agencies. Bets anyone?
Beyond a fraction of a shadow of a doubt. The rule seems to be that there is no rich deadbeat litigant who won’t find a lawyer willing to take him on as a client, no matter how bad his reputation. And the other rule is that, inevitably, that lawyer will end up having to sue him to get paid.
A predatory New York landlord (not naming any names, but it wasn’t Trump for a change) has a reputation for stiffing his lawyers (and everyone else). At one point, he reportedly owed one law firm three-quarters of a million. They publicly dropped him as a client, but he must have eventually found the money somewhere and paid up at least some of it, because, last I heard, they are once again his lawyers.
Are lawyers like the battered spouses of domestic abusers, constantly telling themselves “This time it’ll be different, this time he’s really changed”? Or is something else going on? Is it a tax write-off? Or do they just relish the challenge of suing their own clients to get what they’re owed?
