34. WIN/WIN Scenario

Mon Mar 4, 2024, 09:15 AM

Mar 2024

I could see the court deciding that Trump is ineligible for office and then ruling that he - and ONLY he - had immunity for crimes committed in (and after) office.

That would mean Trump will never be president again but would not go to jail.

Probably the end state Trump most wants. And one that the rest of us would grudgingly accept.

I don't think any of that would be legal (except keeping him out of office), but it would solve a lot of problems.

Which means it is unlikely to happen.
