Okay — maybe five lines. [But the bolded last line, in the blue pull-quote below… is absolutely the most important. Heh.]

Therein… is the reality: John knows the charges in the coming indictment are… iron clad. Tangerine has been caught red handed. And now it’s all about getting him off stage, to save what’s left of the GOP, as quickly and quietly as possible.

But that guy will never, ever… go quietly. That’s the nature of the snake they chose, in 2016.

Still, I will quote Hinderaker (a rare event for me, in the last five years), as it bears wide absorption in the GOP halls. This guy… is toast:

…[T]he significance of this appointment should not be underestimated. I assume that Smith will be able to bring criminal charges against Trump in Washington, D.C., and it is almost a foregone conclusion that Trump will be convicted (of whatever the charges may be)….

In 2024, will Trump be the Republican nominee for president, or will he be trying to fight off a prison sentence? Or both?

The Trump investigation will likely result in an indictment and criminal conviction….

John really, really — like most of the GOP, now… wants him to just disappear.

Not. A. Chance.
