Who will go to prison, Biden or Trump?
Washington Times ^ | 14 Aug, 2023 | Richard W. Rahn

Posted on 08/15/2023 6:00:24 AM PDT by MtnClimber

President Biden and former President Donald Trump are now in a legal death match, where, for either one to stay out of prison, his opponent will probably go to prison.

The Biden Democrats have made no secret that they are willing to do almost anything to put Mr. Trump behind bars. The necessity of locking up Mr. Trump for Mr. Biden and his family to remain free has become even more acute given the added evidence of wrongdoing by the Biden family.

Mr. Biden has to be reelected to be certain that no member of his family, including himself, is convicted of any felony with prison time or, if convicted, pardoned.

Mr. Trump has to be elected for him to be certain that the Biden Justice Department will not continue to pursue him until they have a conviction on some felony with jail time.

Mr. Trump already has three indictments against him, and he will likely have four in a matter of days. These indictments are in different jurisdictions for different alleged crimes, and each indictment carries multiple counts.

The risk to Mr. Trump is that, if even most of these indictments are political and without real merit, a conviction of a few counts on any one of the charges could put him in the big house.

To assume that his lawyers will be able to get all of the charges tossed or for Mr. Trump to be found innocent on all charges is a bet that most people would not want to make.

(Again, remember that Mr. Trump will face different juries — some of which are likely to be hostile

SNIP

Mr. Biden is in an equally difficult position if he does not win reelection. Mr. Trump is unlikely to forgive the hell he has been put through.

The bad thing is that the ‘RATs know how to navigate in the sewer system.

Trump won’t go to prison but the minute he’s convicted, and he will, he will be removed from multiple states ballots.

Hello President Gavin Newsom

That will make Mitch and Romney happy. This is today's Republican party, all for themselves and NOT for their constituents.

Jill Biden knows of, and participates with, all the Biden Crime Family crimes. She should be swinging from a rope when this is all done.

Biden will NEVER go to prison. Trump may be incarcerated temporarily until all of his appeals run their course. The Deep State will ensure both of these outcomes.

My take, as of now:

Chance of Trump going to prison: 50%
Chance of Biden going to prison: 0%

and

Chance that Trump willfully broke the law: 0%
Chance that Biden willfully broke the law: 100%

(I had to say “willfully” there because there are tens of thousands of vague federal laws. People break them all the time without even knowing it.)
