Trump will be convicted as certainly as anyone facing show trials in Soviet Russia, Nazi Germany, North Korea or Cuba. The verdict will be thrown out on appeal, but the intended damage to Trump’s campaign and his reputation will have been accomplished.
I think the “Damage to Trump, etc.” has flattened out and the opposite has occurred and continues to occur. The more they display their despotic behavior with show trails the more people realize their true nature and are driven to support Trump. Trump might not have even been the nominee if the Rats had just left him alone. Even if he had gotten the nomination had he had been left alone, he would be a weaker candidate then he is now.
