Will Prosecutions by the U.S. Justice Department Affect the Midterms?
A reader asks, “Does anyone believe that the facts revealed by the bipartisan J6 select committee reports, or stepped up indictments or prosecutions by DoJ or any number of states AGs will change things much by the midterm elections?”
I wonder if this is a joke. I know many Trump supporters are “dug in,” but suppose there is a series of indictments against Team Trump for what is tantamount to treason. Suppose the NY state AG eventually prosecutes Trump and his family of career criminals on fraud charges. In that case, Trump’s headed for prison–or Saudi Arabia.
Yes, some of these supporters are going to conclude, OK, so he committed treason. Big deal. At least he’s not a socialist. But I’m not sure half the country is going to be OK on being led by someone who came within a whisker of overthrowing the United States government.
