Prison and bankruptcy
Bill Palmer | 9:09 am EST December 21, 2020 Palmer Report » News

Donald Trump recently learned that New York State has spent weeks ramping up its criminal case against him, putting witnesses from his bank and insurance broker in front of a grand jury, meaning Trump is going to be indicted for financial crimes.

Not only is he going down on criminal charges that he can’t pardon, they’re the kind of cut and dry financial charges that he all but certainly can’t beat at trial. Moreover, the charges point to the total unraveling of Trump’s financial house of cards in the process of sending him to prison.

The only way Donald Trump was going to avoid prison was if he managed to somehow magically remain in office indefinitely, and despite all the fantasizing he’s been doing out loud about a military coup he isn’t close to being strong enough to pull off, that’s out the window.

From the day Trump lost the election by a sizable margin, this was always going to be the outcome. New York was always going to indict him on financial charges; you don’t have a grand jury target someone for more than a year like this, without substantial criminal charges arising from it in the end. The courts were never going to overturn the election result unless it came down to a few hundred votes in the deciding state. It’s been over for Trump for more than a month. But he’s even lost the one thing he had left: desperate hope. His life is about prison and bankruptcy now, and little more.
