Special counsel can present ‘substantial’ new evidence against Trump in January 6 case, judge rules

I'm full of popcorn already. It's time for the movie to finally wrap up and the villain to get his ass handed to him. :(

This popcorn better be Xanax and bourbon flavored.

But he's losing and not the Republicans golden boy anymore. Maybe he's finally weakened enough to Finish Him!

If you follow court cases, this kind of time is normal. The other actions are not nothingburgers, not at all.

Take the Sarah Palin email hack. Happened in Sept 2008, they zero in on him almost immediately, and he's charged in Oct. The trial doesn't even happen until April 2010, and then sentenced that November. That was a relatively straightforward case against a nobody.

Or Kevin Mitnick, who was arrested for computer hacking in Feb 1995, charged in 1998, and pleads guilty in 1999.

If Trump doesn't win the election, he's fucked. Only death will keep him out of jail. If he wins, it's still quite possible Merchan sentences him to jail (on state charges that quite clearly have nothing where he can claim immunity), and then things will be a little too interesting. What happens when a state sentences someone who is the President-elect? I'm a curious person by nature, but lets leave that question unanswered if we can avoid it.

Justice will not happen. But at least details will be aired one more time and a spotlight on how dangerous he is will shine shortly before the election.

Especially this close to the election. Even if he is proven guilty in a cri.final court with overwhelming evidence, to convict him before the election would cause gun-toting riots. He would need to be replaced with only a few months to spare, and a more neutral candidate would be called in who might actually win the election, and still follow through with all the project 2025 insanity.

He's already immune, unless this case takes a few more months to sort out...

Will this make it public record?

This is not a both sides moment.

Trump has spent his entire life trying to get into "the club". The specific "club" he was trying to get into was the Hollywood one for many years. The Apprentice got him close, but the "reality TV" club isn't quite the same as the "Hollywood club". Luckily, for Trump, it was enough to get him into the political club. I'm still not quite sure how, but it was. How it got him into the presidential club is even further baffling, but he did that too. Don't get me wrong, I understand how he got elected. But I don't understand how he survived the primaries. (I mean I do, but I'm just sad about it.)

But Trump, assuming he loses the upcoming election, is on his way out.

You're probably right that he'll never be in jail. He'll never serve a day in prison. But he'll be in court. He'll be in court until the day he dies. It's not perfect. It's not what he deserves. But it's what'll happen, and I'll take that.

He was found guilty of 37 felonies. Pretty hard to keep the "it's a conspiracy they'll never find him guilty" point when "they" (the justice system) already did.
