"Trump 'more than likely to be charged' after testimony?"

That was the leadiing headline on Yahoo News moments ago. It doesn't matter what you think of Y!N, because I've seen basically the same headline on CNN, NBC News, AP, Bloomberg, and various other news sites over the last several weeks and months. What matters is that no one I know has a confident answer to the question. . . . .

the DOJ is so worthless and inept that they will never get around to charging TFG anyway. Alternatively, the DOJ already knows that stuff and it is only news to the public, but we know from prior experience that the mere fact of public testimony doesn't change their prosecution decision.

Those sorts of headlines are bullshit. Effective clickbait, though.

I find myself wondering if he would've been a dud had he made it onto the Court. He certainly seems to be one as AG!

Maybe, possibly, likely, probably, perhaps.

In this context some adverbs need to be eliminated, probably for sanity’s sake, lol!

Now we continue with our regularly scheduled political program.
