The analysts at CBC appear to think that him being indicted on claiming hush-money payments were legal expenses is a bad thing, what with the investigations of tax fraud and election interference still progressing. I think they're missing something: claiming hush-money payments were legal expenses is an ethics issue. So this is Trump's ethics that are going to be on trial. Most people would be happy to have their day in court to defend their code of ethics.
(In New York, making hush-money payments is legal, but claiming that they're legal expenses is not.)
As for the possibility of his being jailed (which could happen if he makes a royal hash of his defense) interfering with his run for President in 2024:
Be sure to remind everyone that "running for President while in jail" is something that a socialist did.

Quote:In fact, someone physically incarcerated could run for president, and someone already has: socialist Eugene Debs won nearly a million votes in 1920 while locked up on sedition charges for opposing the First World War.
Be sure to remind everyone that "running for President while in jail" is something that a socialist did.
