On Friday the legal case against Donald Trump
relating to his alleged fomenting of insurrection on January 6 has now
been removed from the court calendar. This is due to ongoing appeals
and other court cases that have to be settled before this case can
effectively moved forward. That means it is unlikely that this case
will go anywhere prior to the November election.
All
of this means that it seems like the only case likely to go anywhere
before the election is the New York "Trump lied about his net worth"
case. This is without any reasonable question a truly weak, garbage
case. Trump is accused of overstating the value of real estate used as
loan security. In all of the instances the lenders did their due
diligence and did their own valuation of the proposed security. In all
cases the loans were successfully repaid. In no case did any of the
lenders make any sort of complaint. Never the less the state of New
York is attempting to break up his real estate "empire" and fine him
hundreds of millions of dollars for his alleged nastiness. The New York
A. G. made "getting Trump" the principle point of her election campaign
so it is hard to say that she is not biased.
None
of this means the 10% in the middle will either now vote for Trump, or
against Biden, or against Trump, or for Biden. The electorate is now so
polarized that the typical 20% in the middle has been shrinking. The
November election may very well be decided by a total of 25,000 people
in five, or six, or seven swing states. Will Biden's clear mental
decline or Trump's allegedly perfidy be the bigger issue?
In
a few weeks we will know 100% for sure if Trump will be the GOP
standard bearer. We won't know for sure about Biden until the
Democrat-Socialist convention, unless of course he strokes out before
then. Then we won't know who his stand-in will be until after their
convention anyway.
Damn, isn't politics fun to watch?
