Until SCOTUS pulls a reverse card bc at least 2 of them are documented to be bought and paid for.

He'll just keep funneling RNC money to do whatever he wants.

None of this is legal and none of it matters. He has 8 years of demonstrated proof the law doesn't create consequences to him.

This case cannot go to SCOTUS. They do not have jurisdiction over this type of case. He also cannot use RNC money to pay this fine and there is a special monitor watching over all of his finances to ensure he does not.

You can deny it all you want, this case is the first real punishment for him, but it's only the beginning. He's been avoiding stuff for 8 years, like you said, but no more.

I hope you are right

I agree, unless the proven rapist gets embarrassingly elected again. If that happens all bets are off.
