    Even if he loses, he will suffer no significant consequences, nor will the lawless movement that supports him.

    He could lose all of these cases tomorrow, and it still wouldn’t mean a thing. He could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot someone, and there still would be no significant consequences.

    The GOP are a lawless terrorist movement, but everyone else wants to “take the high road.”

      That still remains to be seen.

      He’s losing in a big way with these NY cases. There’s a strong chance that he’ll never be able to do business in NY again, which means a lot of work restructuring his businesses. It’s a pretty big hit and will take a lot of time and money to resolve.

      The election cases will be held next year, and will determine whether or not he sees jail time. I still have high hopes that we’ll see him behind bars in the next couple of years. These cases just take time because of the ramifications if the DOJ gets them wrong.
