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.

    I’ve got bad news for you: Trump is going going to be an autocrat. She should be stopped by the course. I’m not going to become anything, and you bizarrely seem to think that the thing I hate about the republicans is that criminals go to jail, but that’s really not anything to do with what I dislike about the republicans.
