The ‘runt’ of Trump cases now likely to be his first criminal trial
With Donald Trump’s D.C. trial delayed, the New York hush-money case involving Stormy Daniels is likely to be the first criminal trial of a former president.

One narrative is this:
Some Trump advisers view the New York case as the weakest of the four and believe that indictment last March helped Trump rebuild support among Republicans, these people said. Many advisers think the GOP reaction to Trump’s criminal charges would have been different if another case — related to possession of classified documents — had come first.
I'm not so sure, but as they say 'we'll see, won't we?' But it will be history in the making: The very first criminal trial of a former U.S. president. Oh the way Trump will wear it as a badge of honor says much bout where we find ourselves today. A twice impeached, proven sex abuser, criminal defendant in multiple cases, in multiple jurisdictions both state and federal. What a pathetic nation we've become.
Not sure, but this makes me think more and more of the Spirit of Liberty/Learned Hand:
"What do we mean when we say that first of all we seek liberty? I often wonder whether we do not rest our hopes too much upon constitutions, upon laws and upon courts. These are false hopes; believe me, these are false hopes. Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can even do much to help it. While it lies there it needs no constitution, no law, no court to save it."

somebody needs to clue JGalt in on facts that cannot possibly be construed as fake news.
