    Primaries would be over by then tho. So we’re looking at possibly the Republican nominee being on trial just months before an election.

      Yeah, it looks like about 1/2 the states have their primaries in March, with a few happening before that:

      But the indictments are a pretty big club for the other candidates to beat him over the head with.

      All they really need to do is re-play his sound bites from 2016 when he was saying you can’t trust someone who is under investigation…

      Well, we’re past that in two cases now, moving from investigation to indictment and arrest…
