I'll breathe a sigh of relief once he's in jail. Before then, he's a criminal walking around with no justice. How many times is he going to get away with the law?

    Plus it's Georgia. What are the chances there isn't one Fox-addict on the jury?

    I mean, the jury selection selection process is supposed to weed out anyone who is obviously biased in any direction.

    Also—and I realize this undermines my first point—Fulton County is one of the most reliably Democratic counties in the country.

    Oh how I’d love to see him in jail, but I just can’t see this happening to a former US president. I’d imagine house arrest at a maximum, unfortunately.

    It's a bit nuts how untouchable we have made this position be. I read that even George Washington noticed it out and tried to reign it in. Maybe if there was a way to get rid of presidents based on no confidence or something it wouldn't have morphed into what it is now.

    Question - I saw someone leaked the charges. could this impact the trial at all? like, could he claim it was improper and therefore get the whole thing thrown out?
    I am honestly asking because I am not good at understanding the law lol

    I'm not a lawyer so take this with a big grain of salt, but the charges get read at the beginning of the trial so it's not much of a spoiler. It's hard to imagine this would have an appreciable impact.

    i love watching him try to hang onto the inside of the bowl, as he is slowly swirling down
