No trial = lower attorney's fees = more of his worshipper's money to stuff in his own pockets.

GQP don't care, that is why they are gerrymandering and suppressing the voting rights of POC. That is why RWer are going after the opposition in full force with impeachments and other unwarranted procedures. RW judges and justices have been placed to comply with what the GQP are doing.

GQP are moving towards communism with their preferred dictator.

And the victims (had his coup been successful) would have been the Democratic voters. In case you haven't been paying attention, the premise of his entire 2024 campaign is to exact retribution on Democrats, which is why he is comfortably leading in the Republican Primary.

Under no circumstance will the GOP/RNC allow Republicans to be framed as "the bad guy" in the popular narrative. It destroys the entire premise of their party, which is "us" - the good guys - versus everyone else(the bad guys). They have finally come full circle to the point where committing crimes is "ok" as long as the crimes are being committed in the name of "the good guys" and against everyone else. Ends justify the means and everything, right?

This is where we are. Otherwise, all it took was the GOP standing up in mass and condemning Trump and throwing him on the trash pile of history back in 2021. But it would have destroyed the narrative....

The GOP/RNC don't act alone.
