This is fun: insurrectionists now choosing to believe that the indictments against Trump are going to somehow help their legal cases because “he’s one of us now!”
Which kind of strikes me like a low-level gangster watching Al Capone getting perp-walked into a Federal courthouse and thinking “Finally! Now that the boss is on trial too the feds are sure to drop those armed robbery charges against me!”
“It will be awesome! We can stay up late telling stories and braiding each others’ hair and…”
“We’re like, if Trump comes in here, we’re gonna put him in 45 cell,” said Shane Jenkins, 46, of Houston, who was found guilty of several charges in connection with the riot, including one Trump now faces, and is being held in the D.C. jail. “We definitely talk about Donald Trump. I don’t think they’ll ever put him in jail, per se. And if they do, I hope they would bring him here. We would have a good time, and it would be awesome to get to meet Donald Trump.”
Hail the idiot king!

Presumably it’s Q-style thinking, where Trump is playing 17-dimensional chess and deliberately had himself indicted, so that he can prove once and for all (in a searing courtroom scene) that January 6 wasn’t an insurrection, that it was all justified, and everyone there was a hero. The Supreme Court will then set everyone free.
A Q Scooby Doo episode when Jack Smith pulls off his mask and reveals he’s been trump all along.
Some kind of heist/prison break plot maybe?
“I got myself arrested on purpose so I can help bust all of you out! Now, here’s the plan…”
Scrappy Doo’s broken remains?
JFK Jr.’s private plane?
Fun related take:
Ah, RICO. A bit of irony, considering that R. Giuliani used it so often against organized crime in NYC.

Or, written another way: “I asked him to do something fraudulent and he refused. Now he’s spilling the beans.”

Just a little light witness intimidation
… he hasn’t literally said “snitches get stitches” yet
Armchair attorneys have been declaring “RICO!” in regards to public figures’ misdeeds for so long that it’s become something of a punchline in legal punditry circles. Surreal to see that it could finally be a thing for real (assuming this story is accurate).
Interestingly, RICO was effectively used against a perp recently;
it was what finally took R. Kelly down.
