NEW: GOP bracing for Trump indictment soon after Election Day

Republican aides and strategists privately expect Attorney General Merrick Garland to pursue an indictment of former President Trump within 60 to 90 days after Election Day, predicting the window for prosecuting Trump will close once the 2024 presidential campaign gains momentum.

Republican aides on Capitol Hill and veteran party strategists emphasize they don’t have any inside information on what Garland might do, but they say the attorney general is under heavy pressure from Democrats to act and the deadline for pursuing an indictment is fast approaching.

GOP aides also warn that an indictment of Trump by the Biden administration would further polarize the nation and likely strengthen Trump’s support from the Republican Party’s base as the former president and his allies would frame the Department of Justice’s prosecution as a political witch hunt.

“A couple of weeks after the election, I assume that Garland will indict Trump,” said one veteran Republican aide, expressing a sentiment shared by several other GOP aides and strategists.

A second Republican aide warned an indictment “could actually end up helping the [former] president politically.”

“People have been talking about splintering support and dampening enthusiasm among Republican voters for him. An indictment could actually galvanize and reunify Republicans around him,” the aide said, predicting the Republican backlash to an indictment would be stronger if Garland brings an indictment later in the 2024 election cycle.

You're correct. And while leftist filth and their filthbag enforcers continue destroying the lives of all who oppose them, decent people allow them to do it without consequences. That is the only reason they get away with it and indeed continue "upping the ante" as they taunt us, gaslight us and spit in our faces and they will do so, unimpeded, even after Trump is indicted and arrested.

Now it's time to interrupt this comment with a commercial break for some extremely pertinent Solzhenitsyn: "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward."

So yeah, as Americans continue "paling with terror" the feces-flecked leftist juggernaut will roll on and on and on until it halts at the execution pits.

Why do Americans seem to be so slow on the uptake about the criminal prosecution/persecution of political enemies by the Democrats ?

Because the telescreen constantly tells them how bad Trump is, and how throwing him into the DC dungeon is the only way to save the country from becoming another Nazi Germany.
