The hush money trial is gonna be a circus. Jury selection will be a slog, Michael Cohen will be eaten alive, despite all his (lately subdued) bluster, and Trump will emerge unscathed. How’s that for optimism?
Orange Man has already violated the expanded gag order, and, as one commentator observed, may be angling for a decision of jail time, which would engender an appeal and more wasted time.
Trump has always bet on enough of us not having the patience to weather all the delays. Somehow, we have to hope that the wheels of justice keep turning, and we have to be as relentless as he has been in being ok with things getting strung out.
Then, in November, we deny him at the ballot box, even as there is no logical reason for him making it that far.
