This is like when he got Covid - I don't even care whether or not anything comes of it, right now his suffering is delicious to me.
Here's to the first of many!

I wish you guys would stop encouraging him.

detroit20: UptoIsomorphism has it right.
The “you can indict a ham sandwich” saying comes to mind here. It’s very hard to convict on campaign spending violations - just look at John Edwards. And Edwards didn’t have the full backing of the Democratic Party nor did he have millions of diehard cultists who could threaten unrest or bully jurors. Heck, what are the chances that the prosecution can prevent jury nullification? Unless of course they’re drawing jurors only from NYU or Columbia.

Edwards didn't have his longstanding personal lawyer and fixer get sentenced to three years in jail because Edwards' specifically and directly told him to make illegal payments using campaign funds.
Trump did with Michael Cohen.
But you are right that this is the weakest of the potential indictments Trump's facing even though everyone clearly knows the f*cker did it. That and Trump's facing about 30+ counts in his indictment whereas Edwards only had six.

In response to the constant barrage of Trump outrage, I've taken to saying 'Wake me up when there's an indictment'.
I'm awake now! But I also agree that this is probably the least consequential thing they could have gone after him for. I'm much more interested in the election interfering and coup-inciting.

I really feel like news reporters need to address any current and future fundraising in absolute units. The indicted former President raised 53 pornstar hushmoneys since the indictment was announced
Politely rude. Briskly vague. Firmly uninformative.
Here's the indictment. Thirty-four counts of "falsifying business records in the first degree."
I wish you guys would stop encouraging him.

He's due back in court on December 4, for those of you wondering how long this will get dragged out.
I love America more than any other country in the world, and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually.
Watch me learn to draw.
The cynic in me is that both sides will drag this out long enough for him to become President again so it can all go away.

I wonder how DeSantis plays this when he actually decides to run.

My guess is poorly. There's still time, sure, but I'm starting to feel like I misread DeSantis. I had thought he was a reasonably observant person. I thought he had probably learned enough from watching the last few years of the Trump show to be a shoo in for the Republican nomination. All he had to do was become Trump 2.0. Do everything Trump did, but with the advantages of intact cognition and a lifestyle that doesn't require superhuman levels of cognitive dissonance for moral and religious people to still support him.
Recently, I'm starting to feel like he didn't learn the key lesson. Republican voters don't care about results. They want someone who is unfailingly, aggressively self-confident and belligerent no matter how wrong they are or dumbass they sound. They want their perception of the ultimate alpha male.
This is the perfect chance for DeSantis to take Trump head on and assert his dominance. Instead, he's only vaguely criticized him and pivoted to the comfortable ground of attacking Democrats. You think Trump wouldn't be taking this opportunity to absolutely trash DeSantis if the situation were reversed?
If he keeps this up, he'll be on the way to joining the ranks of Ted Cruz and Jeb Bush in the loser's circle.
