(24,891 posts)He's all in on concerted, systematic Republican electoral fraud effort to get him in the Chair. Hope DOJ is gearing up with election prosecutorial assets for this election.

Justice matters.
(6,965 posts)Even if the crime of falsifying business documents was committed after he was elected, it was planned before that.
And it's a state case, not a federal case.

Rudy can fart and toot while trDUMP shits himself for the audio, visual, and olifactory enjoyment of the judge jury, and courtroom observers.

(8,767 posts)It means anything. This guy has, very literally, spent decades walking between the legal raindrops and done so with barely a mark to show for it.
He always seems to walk away with a fine or a warning or nothing at all.
In the end it will be anticlimactic: he will just push delay after delay, change lawyers, come into court late, whatever it takes, file motion after motion, appeal after appeal or in the end date them to come arrest him.
I still have no confidence this means anything. That just isn't how the world works. People like Trump get everything and regular people get screwed over.
