This is the advice one of Trump's current attorneys is giving him:


Ron Filipkowski 🇺🇦
@RonFilipkowski
Trump’s attorney says she has advised him that if he just says he won’t run for president, all these investigations and charges will go away and be dropped.

They would like to believe that. But they'd like to believe a lot of stuff that is just not true.

First the stereotypical Fox and other RW media "bimbos" and now the same with his female attorneys...

So damned demeaning but these women believe it is somehow worth it?

If he runs, the RNC stops paying his legal bills. Then she doesn't get paid.

If he doesn't run, they will pay.

You can't believe anything he's saying, neither about his candidacy nor about the weather. Besides, if he's been doing the things he is said to have been doing, he belongs in prison for life at the very least. If he's guilty of those things, he really should get the death penalty. Selling out your country is like murdering your parents; you just don't do that shit.

Tried and convicted of espionage and a public hanging....Or firing squad, both are better than he deserves, to quick.

Of course finding 12 "peers" would be tough,maybe they can get the trial to the Hague..

because Trump decides not to run in 2024, that would prove that the charges were political. How about, if he doesn't run he can surrender himself instead of a nationally televised perpwalk.

Of course, Trump may prefer the nationally televised perpwalk. There's no such thing as bad publicity.
