simply a spiteful political victory over the libtards. But for others who choose to believe tRump and our nation were wronged by evil Democratic weaponization of the judiciary, an encouraging victory to march on to 2024 with?

I always wonder what the psychological effect is of knowing at some hidden level that crimes tRump committed are theirs also. For sure most won't ever admit that, and "expungement" would reinforce denial. I imagine some of these people will still be hissing "Hillary" when they're drooling in wheelchairs parked in the TV room.
