Far from nonsense

The four indictments against Trump stem from the Manhattan “hush money” payment probe, the special counsel’s Mar-a-Lago documents case, the special counsel’s January 6 investigation and the 2020 Presidential election interference case in Fulton County, Georgia. The indictments cover 91 charges that include but not limited to falsifying business records, the “willful retention” of classified documents containing national defense information, conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, conspiracy against voting rights, election fraud and racketeering. These are very serious charges but not to Trump. In a recent interview with Tucker Carlson, Trump called the four indictments against him as “nonsense.” He won’t think it’s nonsense when he sits in the defendant’s chair listening to the prosecution present to the jury overwhelming evidence showing his clear-cut guilt. He won’t think it’s nonsense when his Trump World vanishes as he sits in a courtroom facing a panel of jurors in the World of Reality.

Postscript: I believe the trials will be televised. In that case, there should be complete transparency and people can get a first-hand look at these judicial proceedings.
