(24,026 posts)Even if Trump is jailed, he will have surrogates making the same threats he was making. What Trump is doing smells of Roger Stone who was one of 4 of Trump's inner circle holed up at the Willard Hotel. Garland appointed a task force to investigate the Willard Hotel but apparently it didn't find enough evidence to indict Stone, Epshteyn, Eastman or Rudy, or maybe Garland didn't find the will to indict them? Not holding anyone in Trump's inner circle accountable has only emboldened these people to continue on with the coup.
Trump is an evil genius. Trump knew that he could not prove his innocence in a trial with evidence so he uses threats, intimidation, and fear to taint the trial, that is if a trial ever happens. Trump has out-maneuvered Merrick Garland, Jack Smith, even Fani Willis to delay his trials past the election.
Hoping that Alvin Bragg can get Trump to a criminal trial but I still don't trust Bragg after he shut down the Pomerantz/Dunne prosecution that was all set to indict Trump for his New York criminal financial fraud.
As I posted years ago - Time Matters and pretty soon I can start posting that Time Mattered.
Jack Smith purposely did not indict other people in Trump's inner circle because he understood the importance of time in getting Trump to trial pre-election. He did name several people unindicted co-conspirators. I do not understand why Garland's DOJ did not prosecute anyone who was in Trump's inner circle, he does not have to wait for Jack Smith.
Justice delayed is justice denied. Trump and his loyalists are making a mockery of the justice system because none of them have been held accountable, they are emboldened.
