Tracking with the Orange God Emperor’s Thursday afternoon Truth Social post ripping on the Manhattan DA’s senior counsel as if he was planted there by Garland and then a statement from his campaign later in the day claiming “the Department of Justice stocked the DA’s office with top people from DC to help ‘Get Trump’ at a local level,” the New York Times reports the Trump teams’s plan for handling the all-but-certain pending indictment for Donald in New York is a “Deep State” plot engineered by Biden and Garland, calling it a “a key aspect of the campaign’s response.”
Which shows they really don’t have a lot else to work with, and given that calling Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg a racist however many fucking times has obviously not deterred him, it’s hard to see how Biden and Garland are going to be dragged into this in a way swing voters will actually buy.
The same can’t be said of Republicans rivals like Tiny D, Mike Pence, and Nimrata “Nikki” Haley, as the Times reports the Trump team plans to squeeze them to go on the record on whether they’re for or against Donald being prosecuted. That’s actually a smart move as it’s hard to see which one would be the “right” answer for them. Says a quite lot that being indicted will help Trump a lot more in the Republican primary than it will in the general against the incumbent president.
