31. I wonder if the way Trump was handled after the indictment wasn't to get more evidence for trial.

The man went right back to New Jersey and opened his mouth and essentially confirmed that indicting him was the right thing to do.

Are they tempting him to flee the country? Are they baiting him to open his fat pie hole and pour out confirmation, in the form of attempted justification for what he did, as a way of proving his guilt in a conclusive and absolute way?

He's an appallingly stupid man. Who knows what the prosecution can do to get a confession out of him without his even knowing it?
