Hoping to see him face actual consequences for once in his life. What he did cannot be normalized by either side of the house.
What’s really terrifying is that his followers can’t possibly fathom that a guy with a 50 year history of doing shady stuff, is in fact, still continuing to do shady stuff.
Agreed, justice should be apolitical.
It's not even the same for the rich vs poor. Let alone politics.
It’s gonna be an uphill battle with him getting the same judge who already had to be chastised for her meddling in the investigation.
I too want some long overdue schadenfreude but I am just going to hold my breath for the next 24 hours. At this point, it mostly the most rabid followers who still back him - The type who are most likely to start something.
The problem is - they’ll file tons of motions and injunctions to try to delay this as long as possible.
I want to see him declared a flight risk and denied bail, even if it gets reversed next week.
I have little hope that he will. They call him teflon Don for a reason.
Amen 📿
