		<description>The number of counts is not really of any matter. But, again, let me know when he actually faces these charges from inside an actual court of law. 

I remain unconvinced that these cases will ever come to fruition, for a number of reasons.

Therefore, I am hoping that Dems don&#039;t rely on them to take Trump out before the election and start focusing instead on getting serious about winning the next presidential election. Because, at the moment, things are not looking good for them, in general or for Biden, in particular, on any number of fronts.</description>

&lt;i&gt;Thanks Kick! &lt;/i&gt;

You&#039;re welcome. 

&lt;i&gt;Please do keep me posted as to when Donald Trump will face charges in a court of law for his attempt to overturn an American presidential election, okay? &lt;/i&gt;

He&#039;s already facing charges in two courts of law for his attempt to overturn an American presidential election:

* &lt;b&gt;Georgia, Fulton County, 14 charges &lt;/b&gt;
1 count of racketeering (RICO)
8 counts related to forgery or false statements and documents
4 counts soliciting or impersonating

* &lt;b&gt;Washington, DC, 4 charges &lt;/b&gt;
1 count conspiracy to defraud the U.S. government
1 count conspiracy against civil rights
2 counts obstruction</description>

		<description>A prediction: as long as he is medically considered alive,  Trump will remain sufficiently delusional to avoid facing the reality of his legal situation -- &lt;i&gt;even if he&#039;s in prison.&lt;/i&gt;</description>

		<description>Thanks Kick! 

Please do keep me posted as to when Donald Trump will face charges in a court of law for his attempt to overturn an American presidential election, okay?

In the meantime, I&#039;ll be pondering just what the Supreme Court thinks the lower court got wrong on the presidential immunity thing.</description>

&lt;i&gt;Trump was never going to face charges for his attempt to overthrow an American election. That was just never in the cards. &lt;/i&gt;

You seem like you need this explained to you: 

Trump already has to &quot;face charges&quot; in State and Federal courts for &quot;his attempt to overthrow an American election.&quot; While all of those charges may or may not be adjudicated to a verdict, Defendant Donald has already been dealt those cards whose decks can never be unshuffled. 

&lt;i&gt;Keep dreamin&#039;, Kick. &lt;/i&gt;

You seem like you need &quot;there&#039;s more than one way to skin a cat&quot; explained to you. In the many trials of Defendant Donald, he&#039;s definitely already faced some justice (in my opinion, obviously) whether or not he&#039;s adjudicated to a verdict in every single civil case or for each one of the 91 felony charges in the multiple criminal courts.</description>

<p>You seem like you need this explained to you: </p>
<p>Trump already has to "face charges" in State and Federal courts for "his attempt to overthrow an American election." While all of those charges may or may not be adjudicated to a verdict, Defendant Donald has already been dealt those cards whose decks can never be unshuffled. </p>
<p><i>Keep dreamin', Kick. </i></p>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;I&gt; The Justice Department didn&#039;t even open an investigation into the events of January 6th until March of 2022 -- over a year afterwards -- and this investigation didn&#039;t really get rolling until the House Select Committee began laying out its case to the American people.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

NO, NO, NO!   The DOJ did not ANNOUNCE that they were investigating the events of January 6 until March of 2022.  Law enforcement does not alert criminals that they are being investigated until such time that the accused will need legal representation to start handling subpoenas from the prosecution.  The investigation into January 6 started before they had all of the crap removed from the walls of the Capitol.  You don&#039;t appoint a Special Counsel without plenty of evidence already collected to justify their hiring.  

This investigation is the largest in our country’s history.  The DOJ has had to request attorneys and investigators from every federal agency and the military to meet the need.  The prosecution of a former President for crimes committed while he was in office is something that our justice system has never had to deal with before now.   Add to this the fact that this will be one of the most expensive trials — if not the most expensive trial of all time.  The prosecution must have their case as air-tight as humanly possible.  Perfection takes time… and they are striving for perfection in this prosecution.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t have any ideas about which &quot;moderate&quot; Republican the Democrats could support for speaker.  They should negotiate, to make sure they have a bunch of Republicans who are also willing to support the same person.  There should be enough representatives on board that no group (neither the Republicans who get on board, nor any group of Democrats) can credibly threaten a motion to vacate as long as the speaker sticks to the basic outlines of whatever understanding they come to.</description>
