Junior Staffer for the NYT here…
Just wanna let you guys know, the DA in Fulton County just leaked the Trump plea deal to us, and we’re running the story in a couple of weeks.
Turns out the evidence against the cabal behind the fake electors scandal is so damning, that Trump’s legal team finally got him to come to his senses and make a deal.
In exchange for his guilty plea, he will serve 250 hours community service (under constant US secret service surveillance - he is a former President after all), and more importantly, he will forego his ability to ever run for elected office again.
I know this must really grind your gears, but the fact of the matter is, the rule of law must never break down in this country. What Trump did after the 2020 election probably could have landed him in federal prison for the rest of his life, and he knows it. So rather than subject himself to a long, drawn out trial and inevitable conviction (with a pretty hefty prison sentence I might add), he decided to surrender to the Black, Female District Attorney in Georgia, and in so doing, leave public life with his “legacy” in ruin.
You guys can screen cap this if you want, or not, it doesn’t really make a difference. The Trump movement is dead.
You heard it here first.
