Subject: RE: Trump INDICTED x4 NO new Trump threads part III
Trump and his attorneys are using every strategem in the book to delay these trials.

It seems quite unlikely to me that any but the current civil cases will be decided before the election.

But it may not matter. Trump's followers are certain that all these cases are "election interference" and that any convictions will be overturned by the Supreme Court. As I've mentioned, such appeals can take several years.

If Trump is re-elected, he will suspend all the investigations and trials.

His unique claim - on no legal basis whatever - that he has and deserves "absolute immunity" may eventually erode some of his popularity. It's a long way to November.

Right now, though, he's neck and neck with Biden - and more popular as a public figure.

Makes you think.
