America might finally be able to watch the spectacle of a former president being criminally indicted live on their television and phone screens. A judge in Fulton County, Georgia -- where a grand jury is contemplating that exact indictment -- ruled Monday morning to allow cameras in the courtroom if and when such indictment occurs.
If it makes you feel any better, as a fan of Knowledge Fight, I followed the Alex Jones Sandy Hook defamation trial in Texas pretty closely. Alex did his best to turn the trial into a circus, throwing out deep state conspiracies, complaining about the process and his first amendment rights on the stand, and otherwise showboating. The judge was on top of it and shut it all down, and a lot of that came back to bite him in the ass. It didn’t help that Alex kept doing his show while the trial was ongoing and freshly defaimed the plaintiffs and alluded to the jury as being brainwashed liberals.
I’d imagine the same thing happens here. Whether trying to make a circus out of the proceedings helps Trump in the presidential race, I don’t know. But it’s not going to do him any favors with the judge and jury.
The judge and jury won’t mean a thing if he wins the election and takes office before they convict him. He’ll just pardon himself and try to destroy everyone involved in the cases against him. His defense team will focus heavily on delaying the trial.

He can’t pardon himself in state level trials.
No problem! He’ll just create an executive order that he has that power. Done.
Not constitutional you say? He’ll fix that the same way.
He can’t pardon state charges
