OK, this argument goes in two directions, and I had to pick one for the title.
If he is innocent, as he claims, why would he not want this trial to occur so he can prove to the jury and everyone that he is innocent?
Unfortunately, that argument works the other way: What will the odds of Trump getting reelected be if the jury finds him NOT GUILTY?
It’s a horrible thought, actually. I suspect that if the jury returns with a complete acquittal, we will be talking about President Trump taking office in January.
Of course, the more likely scenario is that we get a hung jury because one or 2 MAGA Idiots lie their way onto the jury. That would probably be good for us, but who knows?
