Alyssa Farah, who served as Trump's Director of Strategic Communications, accused her former boss of using a racial "bullhorn" with his rant against "riggers".
The RICO charge carries a mandatory 5 years that can’t be pardoned and can’t be paroled. And RICO is stunningly easy to get a conviction on. It was built to catch mob bosses who directed activity but didn’t get their hands dirty.
Until the RICO charge, I didn’t think he’d see prison either… but now… looks pretty good.
There’s the very real possibility he could simply drop dead of natural causes long before he’s ever in real danger of seeing the inside of a prison cell.
He certainly can contribute to his own defense. He is choosing to run for president (to try and avoid accountability for his crimes). If he seriously wanted to beat the charges, he could suspend his campaign.
He is a defendant, and a rich one at that. There are countless defendants in cases every day that have to choose between hiring sufficient counsel that can offer a good defense and paying rent or buying groceries for their children.
Trump is affluent enough (and has enough people willing to donate to pay his legal bills) to be able to focus on these charges and nothing else, but he tries to get sympathy for his own choices.
Why would he suspend his campaign? It’s his campaign that’s paying his legal bills. If he suspended campaigning he’d have to pay for all that shit out of the $2 Billion Jared got from the Saudis.

We can only hope. . . .

I have none to offer him.
