And if he gets there, spending the rest of his life trying to get out. I'm OK with this future for Donald Trump.

70 million Americans who could be shown video of him gunning down innocent children in the street, they would still vote not guilty.

And it has to be unanimous, so being convicted will be very tough and he would never go to an actual jail or prison but could be held on house arrest etc.

To convict him there cant be one trumper on the jury. Not one. The facts of the case will not matter if there is.

see how some people vote “no.” This conman has gotten away with everything for 70+ years. I think his luck has run out, but there’s a very small fear/worry/whatever that he’ll slither out of all of these numerous investigations yet again.

Maybe by the hand of a disillusioned cultist. Or one of the MANY business associates he has screwed over in the last 50 years.

The law is there to control people who can't afford high end lawyers. Once someone is wealthy enough they can do almost anything and walk. Unless they piss off the wrong people.

...with all his money and friends gaming the system with delay he'll probably see the inside of a coffin before he ever sees the inside of a prison...

The Kansas abortion referendum. If those results could happen, then Slobby could be held accountable too.

Since there are no criminal trial for reasons no one understands, jail time might not happen. But he's likely to be sued again and again. He libeled so many people and the flood gates could open quickly with one court loss.
