The next several weeks and months will likely see some legal blows delivered to the Malignant Loser, even as he throws everything into appeals and other delaying actions by the courts so that his fate could be decided in the November election instead. Here's an excerpted timeline from CNN:
"— On Thursday, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments over a decision by the Colorado Supreme Court to throw Trump off the ballot under the 14th Amendment’s ban on insurrectionists. This follows the mob attack by his supporters on January 6, 2021, incited by his false claims of electoral fraud in 2020. [snip]
— Another huge constitutional question is in limbo pending a ruling from a federal appeals court in Washington, DC, into Trump’s sweeping claims of presidential immunity, which he argues shields him from prosecution over his attempts to overturn the 2020 election. [snip]
— Trump is braced for a ruling in a civil fraud trial in New York targeting himself, his adult sons and the Trump Organization. Judge Arthur Engoron has already said that repeated fraud took place. His final ruling, expected within days, centers on issues including how much Trump will have to pay for ill-gotten gains and whether he will be barred from doing business in the state where he made his name. [snip]
— Trump is still absorbing the consequences of a jury award late last month of $83 million to the writer E. Jean Carroll, who accused him of defamation after a judge ruled he was liable for sexual assault. Trump is putting together a new legal team to fight an appeal but many legal experts believe his chances of overturning the verdict after a trial in which he disparaged the court are slim. [snip]
— In Georgia, the racketeering case alleging Trump tried to steal the 2020 election in a critical swing state brought by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is now overshadowed by revelations about her personal relationship with her lead prosecutor, Nathan Wade. Willis and Wade last week strongly rejected claims she financially benefited from hiring him. [snip]
— Another federal trial against Trump, over his alleged mishandling of classified documents and obstruction at his Mar-a-Lago resort, has been nominally set for May. But it is unclear whether it will go ahead, with Smith and Trump’s lawyers mired in discovery disputes...."
In our view, the imminent ruling by Judge Engoron in the New York State's business fraud case against the Malignant Loser will unhinge him the most, as it threatens to strip him of a large piece of his wealth and potentially bar him and his corrupt spawn from operating a business in New York. As for the Federal D.C. Court of Appeals upcoming decision on his bogus "immunity" filing, that's been agonizingly slow, but will ultimately rule against him. The process in the slam dunk Merde O'Lardo classified documents case is being intentionally slow-walked by the Malignant Loser's appointee, Judge Aileen Cannon, and may not come to trial before November. The Supreme Court, with three of the Malignant Loser's appointees and two hard-right holdovers (Alito and Thomas), will find a way to duck the obvious: that the coup-leading Malignant Loser's candidacy violates the 14th Amendment. Finally, the Georgia Fulton County racketeering case, while artificially "overshadowed" by the personal relationship of the District Attorney and her lead prosecutor at least in the distracted, Republican-wired press' opinion, will proceed given the strong evidence and testimony collected by the District Attorney's well-staffed office.
