There's no law for the rich...

So it seems Donald Trump has successfully run the clock out on his Federal criminal prosecutions for the January 6th riots and the documents he had stolen and stored in his bog.  Meanwhile the Georgia RICO case is stuck in the mud and the New York Hush Money / Election Interference case sentencing is pushed forward to the 26th of November by Juan Merchan.  

Will Juan commit career suicide and create a constitutional crisis by sentencing Donald to prison or will Juan not commit career suicide and create a constitutional crisis by not sentencing Donald to prison?

I pootled over to the Daily Mail whose comments threads and bombarded with nonsense from the Magaverse... much of it trying to conflate Trump's civil New York fraud conviction for inflating his assets with his criminal trial and conviction for paying off Stormy Daniels via Michael Cohen using falsified business records to conceal his actions...  and there was much vitriol and comments along the lines of the Judge would be stupid to actually sentence Donald.  But the Judge wouldn't be stupid.  He would be impartial.

Donald has made a mockery of the legal system but a number of loose ends remain to be tied.  Will Jack Smith resign or will Donald sack him?  What about Donald's co-conspirators who at the moment are not indicted?  Will they be immune from prosecution?  Will Trump prevent their prosecutions by interfering in the Department of Justice or will he, alternatively, allow them to go ahead and then pardon them at the end?  How many people can you plausibly pardon before it becomes a scandal?  Is there such a thing as a scandal anymore?  Richard Nixon must feel a right prune resigning over Watergate now which seems like very small beer indeed next to Donald's scandals.

Here we have the sight of Kemi&Co sucking up to the Don whilst David Lammy appears to pour oil on troubled waters which catches alight by trying to pretend the things he said about Donald don't matter and aren't true.  We look forward to NATO being dissolved and Europe being hammered with trade tariffs which will also hurt the US ... 

Oh well, Western Democracy.  It was good whilst it lasted ... but it looks like we need WWIII.

I'm off to drink some hemlock ...
