The sad part is, even if he is indicted, tried, convicted and jailed, he will have served Putin's purpose.
The damage he has done to the institution of the executive branch and office he held is incalculable.
For this reason, other than justice being served and guardrails hopefully put in place, I see no cause to celebrate any outcome.

Guilty as hell, but there will always be one juror who refuses to convict
... who then does the right-wing media circuit and then runs for congress and/or sells a book...

(7,183 posts)8. Indicted, convicted, and jailed - but a BIG IF
If Biden or another Dem wins in 2024.
If a Republican wins, he'll pardon the orange bastard on Day One. I think the idea of a pardon is going to loom large in the 2024 election , assuming Trump is not the GOP nominee.

bar him from holding office at most.
Would be very nice
Sieze all assets and choke off the Russian money.

(15,909 posts)11. The word "jailed" should be in scare quotes
No matter what happens, even if Trump is indicted, convicted, and sentenced to technical incarceration, he'll never be in a real prison. House arrest is the worst he'll experience.

It seems a majority feel he wilbe indicted, with differences on the outcome.
