      I prefer to not set myself up for further disappointment. Remember when it almost appeared certain that Mueller was going to pin Russia conspiracy shit on Trump? All we got was a lot of “sure looks bad but not enough proof to indict” kinda stuff. Whether because he was kept on a tight leash or the investigation cut off too soon idk. Maybe both.

      As much corruption as there is in politics at the higher levels, and as much as the richy-riches aren’t held to the same legal standard as the rest of us peons, I think it is a good idea to wait and see and not get ahead of ourselves.

      There appeared no chance that he would win the 2016 elections so… I’ll believe it when I see it.

        Gotta thank the electoral college (again) for that

        Came down to like 100k votes in a handful of swing states that gave him the win.

          Oh sure. But my point is that he should have been in jail even before he was a candidate. The justice system failed the American people years ago. I hope I’m wrong and he finally goes to prison.

      The first criminal trial is March 2024, election in November. I don’t think he’ll be in jail before the election, and it’s hard to know what is going to happen, but he might win.
