    Trials are about the facts tho and as they come out frump can’t really attack the facts. He can’t speak out during the trial so I’m not sure what you guys think he’s gonna even be able to do much less get away with.

    The place where it’ll matter is in the breakdowns by pundits. It will be very hard for the right wing machine to build viable defense talking points when the facts are so clear.

      Their defense is already established. It’s a “witch hunt”, “corruption”, “politically motivated”. Delegitimizing the current authority, where this kind of act is deemed illegal, is the goal. We have too many “uneducated” people, looking for “love”, in this country.

        True, but u saw him lose a lot of support during the Jan 6th trials as they simply played the videos from that day. The trial will be largely the same. Evidence presented, cut and dry and there’s no ability for the right wing news cycle to spin this as not a crime.
