He's actually hating this. Don't be fooled.

55. I've been trying to get a read on the legal situation in the NY case

I think his face reflects what his lawyers told him.

You can never guarantee a legal outcome but Bragg seems to have a good case.
He's got him on the misdemeanors and he has a bunch of paths to flip them into felonies.

They'll challenge to have the case moved.
They'll drag it out as much as they can with appeals, etc
They'll challenge via the statute of limitations though it doesn't favor Trump.
They'll challenge via the John Edwards "trying to protect Melania" but Bragg has emails that refute that.
They'll challenge the path from misdemeanor to felony but they have so many, it is hard to imagine one won't stick.

One thing folks haven't talked about:
Weisselberg and probably others are weighing flipping.
This indictment shatters the Teflon Don persona.
It gives them an indication of what is to come when they hear the GA, Mar-a-lago and Jan6th cases are stronger with more teeth.
Weisselberg would certainly know the threat of bank & insurance fraud and tax crimes Trump faces.
I don't think this indictment hurts the various DoJs trying to flip witnesses.

Trump has to face EJ Carroll's rape suit later this month. These indictments don't help his cause.
Trump has to face AG James $250 mil civil suit in October. These indictments don't help his cause.

I still think NY is going to nail him with more indictments for financial fraud, tax crimes and conspiracy or racketeering.
The GA, Mar-a-lago and Jan6th cases seem to be progressing well - going against Trump.

From that, it is possible that this day may be the best day of the rest of his life. It could be all downhill from here.
