not enough yet, but it is shrinking. I don't think he feels safe, I think he is crapping in his depends and is terrified given all the various charges current and pending. It's only a matter of time, imo, before he totally loses it.

Without a massive retainer up front. A million dollars doesn't begin to get him in the door. I'd guess that an experienced sleazebag like Joey Capone expected him to pay $10m-20m, up front. Maybe more.

His own lawyer knew he would lie about it. The judge knew he would lie about it. The jury knew he would lie about it. And he didn’t disappoint.

I want to see what will happen when he violates the gag order in his fraud trial. If he isn’t jailed I will be unsurprised but very disappointed.

This is so predictable. The problem is that many people will believe him.

Because a good portion of our fellow citizens don't consume any real news. They watch Fox, Newsmax--listen to AM hate radio--all the propaganda outlets that serve up the lies they want to hear.
