Trump's paid fines, been booted out of NY business just on civil cases and is facing 91 felonies in four criminal cases.
I agree that people are hoping he'll win, but a jury found him liable for sexual assault and a judge has explicitly stated that what trump did was rape and with the criminal charges above joined with all the Jan. 6 rioters he did not help at all as president after implying he would help them, he's lost support politically and financially and is not in as strong a position as he was in 2020, which he lost anyway.
Dumps could win, but it's nowhere near a lock, and even if it was, a lot of people thought '20 was a lock, he lost and hes in a worse position now than '20.
The fake electors plot is huge.
Enormous. Seven states, multiple high-level collaborators including trump himself, dozens of lower level collaborators directory forging election documents and attempting to defraud nara and pence by making them false election certificates.
I don't actually know how many ongoing investigating there are, but this is not being left alone, cheese bro is one of the main collaborators and is narcing on the others right now as we type and he's not the only one by a long shot.
It took two years for Trump to be found liable for sexual assault, and that was a single charge(excluding the supplemental defamation) with a single victim.
The fake electors scheme is going to take longer to prosecute because of how many people took part and how complex the investigations are, but that situation isn't on the back burner, it is boiling, and a lot of the people involved are talking.
