Here's the scenario - Congress finishes their January 6th invesfigations that prove Trump and associates are obviously guilty of.an attempted Insurrection. They turn the case over to the Justice Department who immediately publish felony charges against Trump and associates.
Because of the gravity of the charges, Trump and associates ( let's say - 30 or 40 close associates including Congress persons and Senators) are arrested because of the severity of charges and risk factors. Because FBI and DOJ are:
* so deliberate and slow,
* have Republican and Trump lackeys on their staffs,
* Trump and associates will slow.things down and grow wrenches
into the cogs of Justice,
* etc;
trials are not set to start before summer of 2024.
Trump wins the Republican nomination for the 2024 Presidential election! Trump wins the election!
The trial has not occurred yet; so, the obvious guilt has not been legally decided either. What happens now?
VERY realistic sounding scenario, Bill...and I suspect the one that will happen. The only possible variation comes in your penultimate paragraph...with the Republican candidate, whether Trump or a Trump stooge, losing.
Even if that happens, I suspect the abomination, Trump, will manage to get away with what happened. His followers are too blind to the horrendous implications of that happening.
The generations now alive have sadly failed at our job of protecting the Republic in our temporary custody. This may be the end of it.
