He knows she’s not on trial, right?

    What are the odds this comes back to bite him in some way? This seems like a really stupid thing to be saying before court.

      His strategy has been consistent: treat all criminal investigations and prosecution against him as politically motivated harassment. Because that’s how he uses the law. Then, after he found guilty, he claims political assassination to rile up his base and foment an uprising to free him.

        It’s for his disciples. All he needs to do is show them that she’s imperfect, that she’s “political,” or that she’s part of the Illuminati and, to them, the whole trial becomes invalid. It was already invalid because the prosecutors are oBviOuSLy political cronies of the Biden crime family, and having it tried before a political crackpot confirms that the whole legal system is just a Kangaroo Court of east coast elites.

        It serves a double purpose - neither of which are directly tied to this trial.

        The first is to grift. “I’m being treated so horribly by the liberals because they know I’ll stop them and make you fine MAGA folks rulers of this country. Now give me money!”

        The second is to rile up his base to commit acts of violence. “This liberal prosecutor is unfairly coming after me. It sure would be convenient if someone did something to stop her!”

        Of course, he won’t care if the people who commit acts of violence for him get arrested. He’ll use it to grift and incite more violence, but he wouldn’t work to free those suckers.
