While I love the idea of Trump in jail, I womder if the American public will see this as jail worthy. Trump paying a porn star to keep quite isn't illegal, lying about it on taxes was. Do the typical Joe Q. Voter see that as jail worthy? This might create a slight sympathy support for Trump.
Look at the Clinton impeachment circus. He was being impeached for lying to a jury. But the average American saw it as impeachment for an affair, something the average american did not think was worthy of impeachment. Just saying.
If Trump was going to jail, it should be for January 6 and not the hush money payments. He deserves some other form of punishment for latter though.
Exactly! I think that is far more jail worthy. And the American public would support it far more, at least if it was done back in early 2021.
Of course, how would the Biden presidency turn out? Would we have gotten all these good bills if the news cycle was consumed with a Trump arrest and trial? ARP, BIF, IRA, CHIPS were all really good bills. Plus dozens of federal judges. Too bad we didn't get BBB though but we shouldn't change the topic of this thread.
