Good news gentlemen! Trump may be able to run for office even if he's behind bars in 2024,
https://slate.com/news-and-politics/...om-prison.html
Maybe this is all part of the great man's plans:
Conviction seems unlikely to cost him support among the GOP primary electorate, with a recent poll showing that 66 percent of Republicans want him to run again in 2024 despite his well-publicized legal woes.
His supporters will argue that both impeachment and indictment are very politicized actions,” said Mildred Elizabeth Sanders, a professor of government at Cornell University.
"If anything, Trump’s potential incarceration could be used to further ignite his self-proclaimed status as a victim of what he calls “the greatest Witch Hunt in American history.”
Trump has already primed the ground for such a campaign, if it becomes necessary, taking to his personal blog (he’s still banned from Twitter and Facebook) to call the grand jury seating both “purely political” and “highly partisan.”
If Trump were to somehow win reelection after being convicted of any crime, it would be unrealistic to expect that he can govern from behind bars....In that instance...Trump could present the case to the courts that his sentence must be suspended until after his term in office.
In other words, Shaw said, “The powers of the presidency would have to give, or the state’s criminal authority would have to give.”
I believe Slate here is about as full of shit as Trump when he's talking about the Big Steal. But it is interesting to contemplate what could happen if he's convicted and incarcerated.
To those in the Trump camp, don't think it can't happen. I don't think he should go to jail, but Cyrus Vance, Jr. and about 85 million other Democrats probably do. And they control the wheels of justice in New York.
