Trump's still getting indicted

...and he's still soiling his diapers every time there's breaking news.

That's going to make a lot of people unhappy, even from some surprising quarters. It's only a matter of time before the cynicism shifts from "he'll never get indicted," to "he'll never get convicted."

Can't wait (I probably can wait).

Nothing to see here. It will happen soon. Somewhere. Sometime. Unless it doesn't, then we should wait some more.

Recorded its highest ever temperature at 18.3 C.

I could proclaim myself the official meteorologist of the South Pole and everyday forecast a high of 20 C.

Someday my forecast may be correct, but should everyone who points out the unlikely hood of it happening any particular day be labeled a cynic?

or anyone as notorious or despised. They've never had to work with secret service, FBI, any of it. Problems will come up that no one could foresee.

But it's on. He's got 3 other cases besides, and they're all on. This is not a made-for-tv-movie. Shit's gettin' real, and it's real tricky, which requires time.

Build up the media excitement for something that doesn't happen...yet. To the point news media tires of it and moves on to something else, as they now do with everything. Then and only then is it safe to actually have the potentially negative-backlash thing happen.

It's all in the timing.

First of all, Bragg never said he was being indicted. Only tfg did, and why anyone believes him is unknown.

Secondly, this penny ante "hush money" charge is NOT what the majority of us are talking about re indictments. But you know that.

But here ya go so you can say "I told you so" right now, I don't believe he will be convicted of this charge regarding the Stormy affair.

M'kay? There ya go. You didn't even have to wait.
