I suspect the DOJ will be working out a nice little slow burn on Trump...a lot of it behind the scenes...and now there is a full justification for it, as the corrupt GOP has exposed themselves as what they are and justice has not been served.

The pressure valve of holding him accountable has not been opened: this seeming free pass for Trump gives them all the reason in the world to punish him by other means. So a long game presents itself.

Personally I prefer a death by 1,000 cuts for the fucker. He could be charged by multiple entities in multiple locations and that on top of all the fun things waiting for him in NY.

Or not...hard to say...he certainly wouldn't be the first (pseudo) rich old white dude to shit all over the world and live a comfy life in luxury while the rest of us sputter angrily at the injustice of it all.

We'll see. If his followers find another squirrel to chase, the image of him in prison in a year or two may not be a big deal for them...especially since he threw his MAGA insurrectionist hoards under the bus.

I do not think Trump will go to jail, ever. Irish_Dem Feb 2021 #1
