I think we all knew this, but now it is confirmed.

 From a Monday morning New York Times report written by Alan Feuer, “Trump has made no secret in private conversations with his aides of his desire to solve his jumble of legal problems by winning the election. If either of the two federal trials he is confronting is delayed until after the race and Mr. Trump prevails, he could seek to pardon himself after taking office or have his attorney general simply dismiss the matters altogether.

  And if he doesn't win in 432 days he'll probably submit quietly to the FBI and serve his time. Related:

Former President Trump told conservative media personality Glenn Beck he would prosecute his political enemies if elected president again.

“You said in 2016, you know, ‘Lock her up,'” Beck reminded Trump of his statements about Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in 2016 during an appearance on his BlazeTV show Tuesday. “And then when you became president, you said, ‘We don’t do that in America. That’s just not the right thing to do.'” “That’s what they’re doing,” Beck continued, asking the former president, “Do you regret not locking her up? And if you’re president again, will you lock people up?” Trump, who dismissed the various charges he faces in Georgia, New York, Florida and Washington, D.C., said there is “no choice.” “Well, I’ll give you an example… The answer is you have no choice, because they’re doing it to us,” Trump said, adding that he “never hit Biden as hard as I could have.” “I always had such great respect for the office of the president and the presidency … And then I heard he was trying to indict me, and it was him that was doing it,” he said.

My prediction: All of the small government conservatives with blown down houses will be yelling about the government not doing enough.

DEGOP Candidate Recruitment Sputters - Winner of Dem Governor Primary May Run Unopposed

While it is well known that the DEGOP is having problem raising money, Julianne Murray chaired DEGOP is also having significant problems raising candidates.   While the DEGOP would typically have a collection of angry crackpots lined up to "take one for the team" and lose in each of the statewide races, this year the party's cupboards are bare.

Our political memories are short, but you may recall that the Biden DOJ was desperate for Trump to just shut his fat mouth and go away quietly.  They never would have prosecuted him if he acted even a little but normal.  But Trump being Trump, that wasn't in the cards. In addition to simply shutting his fat mouth and quietly going away,  there is a long list of things Trump could have done to avoid all his legal troubles.  This is by no means an exhaustive list: Trump could have...

1. ...left secret documents in the White House when he lost the election and stopped being President.
2. ...returned the secret documents when he was asked for them.
3. ...not shared secret documents with people at Bedminster golf club
4. ...not told his staff to obstruct justice.
5. ...not endorsed a "fake electors plan"
6. ...not fired up supporters to attack the Capitol.
