    I think all the “Trump = In Trouble” cogitation is a case of begging the question. You’re pointing to all the court stuff and equating it with trouble. It’s only trouble if a guilty finding has a negative consequence in real life for Trump.

    In the end, what will be decided is which horn of the dilemma to grasp: Does the “system” incarcerate Trump, which will certainly activate a bunch of his more violently inclined supporters toward possibly Murrah-level destruction? Or does it let him skate, knowing that those members of the society who value law and due process and all that jazz will be very disappointed?

    In simpler terms: in high school, the smart kids would give up because they knew the kids who picked on them would never be punished because the sports teams were “vital.” So a lot of pretty sharp kids just slacked all the way through high school, having seen how fundamentally corrupt it was.

    I don’t think Trump will see a day in prison. The only penalties will be trivial ones. Even the biggie: “You can’t run for preznit ever again” is meaningless. If he loses (hardly a certainty) the upcoming election, he’ll be in his 80s. This was his last shot at that anyway.
