Other than threats of riots and violence, does Trump have any more cards left?

[kentuck]

I suppose he could get together another rally of his violent supporters, and call it a Celebration of the January 6th Patriot Movement, or some such rot, and incite them to some sort of violence or "civil disobedience"?

Or he could file suit against someone, Joe Biden or the FBI or the maker of Hunter Biden laptop. Anyone, just to get it in the Court and delay as much as possible?

He could start another rumor, like the one he did with Obama's birth certificate?

But what can he do to keep the evidence under wraps and to keep from answering for his crimes?

Is the clock ticking down on the criminal Trump?

Hasn't he played about all of his cards?

1. Time...

If red states refuse to certify elections, if trump is elected or installed, etc.

Insanity where we are.

[RKP5637]

2. He can plead insanity, I just didn't know what I was doing. What, I did that, I can't recall. Mercy!

[doc03]

8. Yep he has made guite a case for an insanity plea.

[Jarqui]

3. Some more folks have to be getting tired of his act and catching on

He can get away to some extent (he did lose the election) with lying to or misleading the media 38,000+ times while in office

But when he has to go into court, they have this little law about perjury that seems to trip him up.

The legal cases are closing in on him

[Jade Fox]

4. He seems to be scraping the bottom of the barrel......nt

[drray23]

5. what has worked all his life so far. Delay, appeal, etc..

in hopes that in 2024 he or another gop wins and then he can get a pardon.

6. It's up to us now

To not be distracted by the latest diversion tactic, unless even more shocking developments come out of January 6/Mar-A-Lago.

[SKKY]

7. He'll do what he's always done...

...delay, delay, and delay. Then blame everyone else. It's worked for him thus far, and I don't expect someone of his age to have a come to Jesus moment and change his tune this late. Plus, he's kinda all-in on his election fraud gambit.

[Irish_Dem]

9. Yes, he may have classified docs he is using as leverage.

Information that would greatly endanger or embarrass the U.S.

[hadEnuf]

10. Well, his strategy was to stop the EC count by offing Pence and having one of his stooges take over.

And it almost worked except for some solid people who stood up for democracy and some luck.

Physical interference with an arrest, the courts or a triai is a
distinct possibility. He's already rileing up the kooks with his calls to be reinstated or to have a new election. Sounds like he's calling for another coup attempt or something similar. He has all these fanatical MAGATS just waiting to start violence. He's not going to walk away from a private army like that.

He'll try and burn the government down before he finally flees to Russia.

[lindysalsagal]

11. He's got millions of dunce followers and most of the gqp

So, just like always, his pathetic attempts will fail, damaging everything and everyone in his wake.

[WarGamer]

12. He will claim "I broke no laws"

And that very fact will be argued in Court and possibly make it to SCOTUS...

There is literally NO PRECEDENT for charging a FPOTUS with these crimes. An indictment will certainly be challenged.

Trump will say "As POTUS, there is nothing I can do that is illegal. The Judge will say "you're an idiot" and it will be appealed and stepped up the ladder and SCOTUS will probably take the case on an emergency appeal or stay.

SCOTUS will decide the limits of Presidential powers. Scary huh?

It's ridiculous, of course... but that's our world in 2022.
