The MAGA King Donald Trump won't,because he's going to do what he always does, which is play the victim and dupe his supporters into giving him money.

The Georgia trial will be televised. "Must See TV" Who will flip? I bet Rudy Giuliani will. He doesn't want to spend the rest of his life in prison. There are 30 unindicted co-conspirators in this case who could still face charges later. There will be a lot of pressure on them to talk.

It looks like Giuliani's in financial trouble and Trump has refused to help, so that's another factor.

"Trump announced the planned press conference with a social media post shortly after he and 18 co-defendants were indicted late Monday in Georgia. He said he would present, "A Large, Complex, Detailed but Irrefutable REPORT on the Presidential Election Fraud which took place in Georgia.""

Right, that would be the irrefutable evidence of electoral fraud that for some reason he's kept to himself since November 2020. If there really was a "large, complex and detailed report" Trump would obviously not have read it.

He's called it off now. He says it isn't necessary.

The argument now is that State Officials can refuse to allow Trump to be listed as a Candidate on Ballot papers in the 2024 election. Two articles, some both referencing the Federalist Society, are here, and base their argument on the Constitution's ban on any citizen who has engaged in Insurrection or given comfort and support to anyone else who has.

"“In our view, on the basis of the public record, former President Donald J. Trump is constitutionally disqualified from again being President (or holding any other covered office) because of his role in the attempted overthrow of the 2020 election and the events leading to the January 6 attack,” law professors William Baude and Michael Stokes Paulsen wrote for the University of Pennsylvania Law Review. “The case for disqualification is strong.”"

Time will tell. I can't imagine my state of Florida removing him from the ballot, though.

It will be interesting to see if any state would remove Donald Trump from the ballot.

14 Amendment of constitution


The Constitution bars Trump from holding public office ever again


While some on the right portray accountability for the Jan. 6 Capitol riot as just another partisan dispute, two prominent conservative legal scholars have made the case that the Constitution disqualifies former President Trump from public office.

Last week, law professors William Baude of the University of Chicago and Michael Stokes Paulsen of the University of St. Thomas — both members of the conservative Federalist Society — argued in a law review article that Trump is already constitutionally forbidden from serving in public office because of Section Three of the 14th Amendment
