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

A couple of years ago it would have seemed impossible for a former President to end up in prison. But the Democrats have been gradually getting people used to unprecedented actions--raiding Trump's home, then piling on indictments.

My guess at this time is that they just want a conviction before the election and are not committed to actual imprisonment (although they would be happy to see that happen). But it depends on how they judge the public reaction. If they think they can manage and suppress any public outrage at Trump actually being sent to prison, they will probably do it. The Fulton County indictments may be the most dangerous because there would be no hope of a pardon, so any conviction will have to be overturned by a higher court.

If half the country is outraged by how Trump is treated but is powerless to do anything about it, that just makes them happier. I'm reminded of George Orwell's line about a boot stamping on a human face. They would revel in the pain of any Americans who aren't on their side.
