It Looks Like The Orange One Might Be Going To Jail
In defence of Trump’s latest indictment, his lawyers best arguments are that the things he said (about over-throwing the 2020 election result) are part of free speech, protected under first amendment rights, and that his lawyers gave him the advice.
One of the many problems with this defence (besides it being complete nonsense in terms of what Trump is alleged to have said & done), is that Trump would have to testify, and even Bill Barr (Trump’s appointed United States Attorney General) thinks that would be a very bad idea (for Trump to testify).
The trial judge is looking for the trial to begin early next year, so maybe Trump will be campaigning from his prison cell to gain the Republic Party candidate and then president of the USA. There is nothing in the US constitution preventing someone in jail from holding the office of president.
This youtube video includes a damning CNN interview with Bill Barr (giving his thoughts on this latest indictment), interestingly he refused to say whether he (Bill Barr) had been interviewed by Special Council (Jack Smith).

It would be very very unwise for Trump's counsel to let him testify in his own defence.
In exactly the same was as Prince Andrew's laywers managed to keep him away from the US investigators - but sadly not Emily Maitliss - Trump would condemn himself out of his own mouth by being utterly immune to the simple concept of shutting up and not putting his foot in it.
I would love to hear him 'defend' himself, it would make excellent television.

baz - // "best answer from a MOD"
im guessing thats the part you didnt understand.... //
Is it worth pointing out that Best Answers are awarded from Mods acting as AB'er's, not as Mods.
And that unless it's a named Mod, you won't know whether your BA comes from a Mod or not!
Probably not worth it, but one tries ...

I think Trump said in the past that only criminals invoked the 5th amendment and refused to testify.
I cant say that Trump has been silent over all this.
An american viewer commented ( obv filtered by the Beeb) "I used to think that he american system was an example to folow in the free world. Now I think it shows how easy it is to convert it to a laughing stock"
oo-er Mrs ! - certainly is a good example for the 'no talking after indictment rule we have here
