    Honestly he was caught red handed. I really think he’s screwed with the classified docs case. His own AG, Bill Barr as well as his former attorney, Ty Cobb, said as much. Also he is having a really hard time finding competent counsel to represent him. Part of that is since his attorney must have security clearance but it’s also likely because any half decent attorney sees how screwed he is on this case.

    If I can let my cynical self speak for a moment: From all I’ve gathered, not too much if he can prolong the trials until he is possibly reelected (insane to even type that out). Motherfucker will just self-pardon himself like a good little fascist. He also has a favourable judge in the Miami court from what I’ve heard. A little pro-trump judge to preside over Trumps trial, the biggest presidential crime drama in the US since… Watergate? Dunno.

    Honestly its mad he’s allowed to run his campaign with several trials for high crimes on the table.

      The case was randomly assigned to Judge Cannon, who was already censured by the higher courts for her obvious bias toward Trump. This case will not remain in her docket.

      This is absolutely a problem, but on the flip side then Republicans would have tied Hillary up in the courts rather than risk her winning in 2016. I mean, they launched how many Congressional investigations against her while they controlled the House? It worked as a smear campaign, and if it carried legal consequences she would have been barred from running at all. Imagine that they do this to every potential Presidential candidate that Democrats have to offer. Even ones you like.
