Lawfareland gets nervous

LAWFARELAND GETS NERVOUS. This newsletter has noted that the elected Democrats, Biden DOJ-appointed prosecutors, legal activists, and others who have filed criminal charges and lawsuits against former President Donald Trump have crafted a multiple-redundant line of attack. If one case fails, there is another to back it up, and if that case fails, there is another to back it up, and so on. There are four criminal cases against the former president, all charging him with felonies. At the beginning of this week, there were 91 felony counts against Trump, but a judge in the Georgia prosecution threw out some counts, so the total number of felony counts Trump faces now stands at 88.
That is a lot of redundancy. All it takes is for Trump to be convicted on a single count in a single case for Democrats and their allies to make a million campaign ads branding President Joe Biden’s challenger a “convicted felon.” Polls have shown that some voters who might otherwise support Trump will back away if he is convicted of a felony. That alone might be enough to swing the election. So of course the Democratic lawfare team, and its cheerleaders in the media, is desperate that at least one Trump trial start and reach a verdict before the Nov. 5 election.
But the anti-Trump team has been getting more and more nervous these days. It’s worried about Supreme Court review of a Trump defense motion claiming immunity to federal charges in the 2020 election/Jan. 6 case. It’s worried about the federal classified documents case bogging down in the minutiae of handling millions of documents. It’s worried the Georgia state case will sputter in the aftermath of misconduct between top prosecutors. The only case that gives it real hope is Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case charging Trump did something illegal eight years ago in paying for a nondisclosure agreement with porn star Stormy Daniels.
