A 'day of reckoning' is coming for Trump -- but he's not going to jail: Former federal prosecutor

Well worth the read.
https://www.rawstory.com/former-federal-prosecutor-a-day-of-reckoning-is-coming-for-trump-but-he-s-not-going-to-jail/

'McCallion is a former Justice Department prosecutor who also worked for the New York State Attorney General's office as a prosecutor on Trump racketeering cases. As an assistant U.S. attorney and special assistant U.S. attorney, he focused on international fraud and counterintelligence cases that often involved Russian organized crime.

McCallion explains the approach that Merrick Garland and the Department of Justice will likely take in prosecuting Trump for the government documents he stored at Mar-a-Lago and the events of Jan. 6. Any such prosecution will require both overwhelming irrefutable evidence and a simple and direct story to tell a jury about Trump's misdeeds. McCallion also says that contrary to some media reports, Trump can definitely still be prosecuted even if he announces he is running for president.'

traitortrump's financial situation may not be as precarious as the above prosecutor, and many others seem to think/assume.

magats are said to be financing his latest $3 million legal bill. trump may be able to go that well [of hate] many times.

Also there are donors like 'prince saw bones', mercers, etc., who can easily donate to trump, in various ways, in the $100's of millions.

After the search, it surged to a million dollars a day!

A fool & his money... Or in this case, a dupe & his money.
