Hexbear was down for a bit there so I already posted this on the trueanon sub, but Hexbear is back up now hooray

I've long held the belief that Trump will never, ever face consequences for any of his myriad crimes. He's too rich, white, wet, and well connected. However, the indictments just keep piling up. People seem to think that he's going to face a minimum 5 year jail sentence here. I can't tell if it's just wishful copium or if Trump might actually be in deep shit.

There's also a lot of talk about this in the reddit-logo r/law subreddit and they're all just munching on their popcorn as the news comes in. Trump's also acting veritably deranged and going on endless public rants with ALL CAPS wall of texts, so he's obviously nervous about all of this.

I dunno, I find it all hard to believe, but the libs are saying things like they're going to name their first born child after the prosecutors in the case.

The thing is Trump is too brazen and stupid to use his rich/powerful guy immunity. He publicly dares the justice system to stop him in such a high profile that no other rich powerful guy ever would. He practically forced them to indict him because he’s too dumb to play the game.

I thought he would get indicted after the J6 Committee because it gave DOJ enough political cover to not be total cowards and then the seal would be broken after that for more charges. But even then I was skeptical he would ever see a day behind actual bars, however now there is looking like a real shot he might get bail revoked because he’s incapable of not witness tampering and disparaging judges.
