Prediction: Trump will be railroaded on BS felony charges, and then exonerated on appeal before 2024 elections.
LET'S GOOoOoooo!!!
The PR impact for dems will not just be bad. It will be apocalyptic. Their support will completely collapse once people realized that they not only arrested an ex-president on bogus charges, they violated his rights in the process.
That trial will go on into his Presidency. They will use it for impeachment #3,4,5...100.
That requires the House to flip back, in which case he gets less done. That isn't good from a planning perspective.
