Now that Donald Trump has been indicted a fourth (4th!) time, his legal strategy is becoming more apparent: Delay, distract and do everything he can to win back the presidency so he can pardon himself.
Call me overly optimistic, but it’s hard to believe that Trump will walk away from all 91 criminal charges unscathed. (If you like to dream big, the Defendant-In-Chief is apparently looking at over 700 years of jail time.)
Criminal conviction is a very real possibility, which leaves the presidency as his ultimate Get Out of Jail Free card.
Meanwhile, the Republican Party has chosen to be led by a guy who is charged with falsifying business records in order to shut up a porn star, obstructing justice, risking national security and, oh, conspiring to subvert democracy, among other things.
Look! Hunter Biden!
The forecast calls for a deluge of more Trumpian misinformation about every upcoming trial and continued streams of Hunter Biden whataboutism.
Now if only they could come up with an actual legal defense of the indefensible.
