I doubt the left really believe this helps Trump.
They don’t believe it but overall it scares to poop out of everyone when they see the dems will stop at nothing to control all of us. Next step includes camps and ovens for those left that love America.
The question is how fast do they want to proceed with this? Have it still hanging over Trump's head in 2024? Or have a conviction in 2023 and he would campaign in 2024 while the appeals process makes it way through the courts?
Can the judge impose a gag order on Trump? Or tell him that he can't leave Manhattan (just like George Zimmerman was not allowed to leave the county in Florida where he lived)? He might order Trump to surrender his passport--just for humiliation's sake (to make it appear that Trump might try to flee the country).
