It feels like one way or another Trump will be ever present during the Biden Presidency.
Normally you would want to move on and not indict so that you are not mired and ruin your agenda.
In this case Trump could be such a pain that you might wan legal pressure on him.
Hard to say unless the deal is both sides stand down.t

Read his twitter. They are the posts of a man in desperation. It's his only chance for victory now. To try to paint his opponent as a criminal. It is just really pure projection. Projection is what he's been doing since he walked into the White House. Accuse another vehemently of what you've been guilty of all along. Cuz he knows the second he is escorted out the door, the beautiful state of New York will be waiting with indictments.

Chances that a New York DA will convince a Grand Jury to indict Trump or a Trump family member is about 100%
The chance that the indictment leads to more than a fine...I'd put that at about 15%.
In any case, right now I am pretty sure Trump wins a 2nd term and dies in office.

Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance, who enforces New York state laws, has been conducting a criminal investigation into Trump and the Trump Organization for more than two years.
The probe originally focused on hush money payments that Trump’s former lawyer and self-described fixer Michael Cohen paid before the 2016 election to two women who said they had sexual encounters with Trump, which the president has denied.
Vance, a Democrat, has suggested in recent court filings that his probe is now broader and could focus on bank, tax and insurance fraud, as well as falsification of business records.
Republican Trump has called Vance’s case politically motivated harassment.
The case has drawn attention because of Vance’s efforts to obtain eight years of Trump’s tax returns. In July, the U.S. Supreme Court, denying Trump’s bid to keep the returns under wraps, said the president was not immune from state criminal probes while in office, but could raise other defenses to Vance’s subpoena.
Vance will likely ultimately prevail in obtaining Trump’s financial records, legal experts said.
The U.S. Justice Department has said a sitting president cannot be indicted. Vance is not bound by that policy because he is not a federal prosecutor, but he may still have been reluctant to charge Trump because of uncertainty over whether the case was constitutional, said Harry Sandick, a former prosecutor in New York.
“Those concerns will disappear when Trump leaves office,” Sandick said.
The investigation poses a threat to Trump, said Corey Brettschneider, a professor of political science at Brown University.
“The fact that they have issued the subpoenas and have litigated all the way to the Supreme Court suggests that this is a very serious criminal investigation of the president,” Brettschneider said.
The good news for Trump is Biden has said a DoJ investigation of him after he leaves office would be bad for democracy.
But NY state will likely be a real problem for the Trumps. Assuming they stay in the country.

Now Trump is going to leave the country. That’s quite the insinuation. I have no idea where you are going with all these threads. Truly.

He mentioned that if he loses he might leave the country.
Where I’m going with this thread is they have a lot of legal problems that were essentially on hold while he was in office. All that changes in January. The case being pursued by Vance is criminal.

Re “all these threads” take each one on its own. That’s why they’re different threads.

Which investors will still trust Trump with their money?

Maybe one way to help in answering this question -- since we can't really know for certain what will happen -- is to think about his motives for seeking a second term so energetically. His first term can't have been a joyride for him, at least from the bits we the public were allowed to see.
There were many moments of humiliation for him, not something he handles well. (Remember the booing at the baseball park?) I would not have been surprised if he had chosen not to run again, on some pretext.
It could be that his pursuit of re-election was fueled by his certain knowledge of his fate in New York.

I read this thread and am absolutely amazed at how crazy the Left truly are.
Sock has been wrong about everything he's said for the last 4 years, but he just keeps on saying it. Same with Ax. But they have an excuse - they're both idiots. Jon can't use that as an excuse.

I think it it just the ego of power - not only for President Trump but for anyone in that position.
For a rational mind, the job of President is terrible. Half the people hate you no matter what you do. Lots of things are outside your control. There is never any “down time”. You really don’t have a life. Etc etc
But the aspect of power is very flattering and strong. I think that is what “drives” these people.

Hunter has better odds for indictment.

Except the Trump organization is under active criminal investigation and has been for 2 years.
Hunter has been investigated by Giuliani and Carlson since late October.

yeah but the tie of Hunter to Joe was the problematic piece.
Just something to think about in the pursuit of the Trumps. Would be impossible to avoid Hunter and I suspect the evidence is not just overwhelming but easy to prosecute quickly.
I’d say leave them all alone for the sake of the country.

That’s Biden’s view. The doj going after Trump won’t happen for that reason.
The Trump org in NY is what’s being investigated. Wouldn’t be shocking to see Don Jr get some bracelets and a perp walk out of it but it’s by no means a certainty.
But I’ll move my over/under to 16 months.
