The American electorate has a right to know if the presumptive nominee of one of the two major parties is a criminal...or not.

If he felt he was innocent, TFG would be anxious to have his day in court and show the people that he was indeed not guilty. He would GAIN lots of votes if that happened.

Instead, he is delaying because:

a) He knows he is guilty and such a verdict will harm him chances of re-election and
b) If he the cases drag on until after the election and he retakes the White House then he can shut down the Federal cases and use the Supremacy Clause to delay any action at the State level.

I have no say about what the criminal justice system chooses to do. But it's not a reach to think that 1/6, the imperfect phone call to GA and the doc thefts deserved the indictments they generated.

Of COURSE I'd prefer a resolution of all of it before the election, so too would an innocent defendant. And of COURSE Trump is directing his lawyers to delay the processes like the guilty f'k he is. You have to be a moral imbecile to believe otherwise.

You wouldn't characterize all of it as 'get him' if it were a Dem; it is ALWAYS a 'lock 'em up', 'Ox-Bow Incident' posse, 'hang Mike Pence' response to accusations against Dems, forget about legal processes.
