America might finally be able to watch the spectacle of a former president being criminally indicted live on their television and phone screens. A judge in Fulton County, Georgia -- where a grand jury is contemplating that exact indictment -- ruled Monday morning to allow cameras in the courtroom if and when such indictment occurs.
The judge and jury won’t mean a thing if he wins the election and takes office before they convict him. He’ll just pardon himself and try to destroy everyone involved in the cases against him. His defense team will focus heavily on delaying the trial.
And then it goes to the Supreme Court and they have a novel theory about pardons or some legal shenanigans where he can count time in the White House as time served.

No problem! He’ll just create an executive order that he has that power. Done.
Not constitutional you say? He’ll fix that the same way.
