Yeah it's not going to happen. Even if the Republicans defund the FBI, Brandon will simply veto it.
The instant Trump announces he will not run, DeSantis will announce he is running. The instant he announces, the FBI, DOJ, Shiff and all of the other vultures will descend on him.
I think the FBI is planning on arresting Trump. So he'll be in jail. Then they'll intimidate DeSantis into not running.
Then a designated loser from the GOP will run against Brandon in 2024. (Somebody like Paul Ryan who will run a "respectable campaign" but gets crushed)
We will elect him from ADX Florence if need be.
Can’t argue with that. Desperate people do desperate things, usually adding to their punishment.
But you raise an interesting question:
What will the public do if Trump is put in jail?
I think they will go into a rage that this country has not seen since.....the Revolution.
Those long senate and house investigations that create much hot air but no relief from the problems will turn into rage that will consume not only congress but spread throughout the country.
