Should Donald Trump fail a second time to be re-elected he faces the very real possibility of jail time and massive financial penalties due to the sheer volume of criminal cases and civil lawsuits that are on hold until after the election.

That is the opinion of Syracuse University law professor Greg Germain who explained in an interview with Newsweek that the former president’s only path to get out from under the federal cases he now faces is to beat Vice President Kamala Harris in less than two weeks and then push the Department of Justice to drop the cases filed against him.

As Germain stated, the multiple federal cases Trump is facing are solid and his only path to victory may be having them shut down.

    Yeah, how is being ahead in the polls, with an inherent electoral college advantage, a Congress that’s willing to bend the rules and a supreme court that thinks laws can just be changed depending on the court case ‘having your back against the wall’?

    Even if he loses the election he’s still going to be able to pay lawyers to keep him out of jail until he chokes on a Big Mac dies of natural causes.
