    There are two things his lawyers are going to bank on: that toxic and illegal are very different things and that their real goal is to drag things out in hopes of a second term for Trump.

      Maybe the ones that aren’t co-defendants with him … yet. Although helping him win a 2nd term gets them what? If he gets his 2nd term, and the GOP gladly allow him to assume his dream of being dictator:

        1. he will have just as much chance of paying them (probably less than 1%).
        1. he would also have no need for the law/lawyers/judges. I think anyone that could challenge him would be in the first wave of the “purge” .

      their real goal is to drag things out in hopes of a second term for Trump.

      … their real goal is to drag things out because they get paid by the hour.
