He will be found guilty. He committed multiple crimes in plain view of the public, those crimes were recorded on cameras, he's made multiple statements admitting that he committed the crimes.

The real question is, will he be found guilty before he dies? He has enough money to put up bullshit delay tactics for the next 10 years.

He could also become president again, that's his plan. He's trying to run out the clock on all his legal troubles. Once he's a presidential candidate I'll bet you every one of those Republicans that turned on him after Jan. 6 will suddenly start saying it's unconstitutional to charge/prosecute a presidential candidate.

He'll be elected and transform the government into a dictatorship of successors.

Defeatist thought is how Republicans convince Democratic votes to stay home.

Well that's more to the point. If he's able to keep out of jail for another year and a couple of months (easy enough for these kinds of cases) he can easily be within a shot of the whitehouse. Not ideal.

I think it would be good if he did have to deal with the hell of the court system until he dies, burning the wick of hope until the very end. It would honestly be a relief if he finally went to prison and was able to make peace with his situation in his final years.

He would never make peace with being in prison, though. He's a spoiled child who never had to face the consequences of his actions. He would lose his goddamn mind if anyone dared to punish him for his crimes.
