Fantastic article once again. Dramatic, tragic, outrageous, and delicious all at once. I think it was just a strategy to tie Trump up in court, his money, time, and energy. Plus I think they thought people would run from him due to all of these cases. (Why waste a vote??) But they underestimated (kind of as usual) the American people and voters. Trump is now a Martyr, a folk hero. Them again people also have a side by side comparison. Were you better off 4 years ago ??? Most people were.

Another fascinating article

Thanks, Jen! The left thinks that these court cases are going to be kryptonite against Trump. They're actually spinach. He emerges unfazed and the left mainly just beats itself up.

BTW I learned since writing this that the DA and all licensed attorneys are considered "officers of the court" and if they lie to a judge in any circumstances it is perjury. It's not just lying under oath, it's any lie conveyed to a judge in or out of the court room and under any circumstances. Perjury can get a lawyer disbarred and this is pretty high-profile perjury on national TV no less. Judge Scott McAfee looks like he's toughening up, so if I were Fani, I'd be worried.
