THE CHRISTIAN RADICALS ARE COMING

In the final moments of the last day, some 2,000 people were on their feet, arms raised and cheering under a big white tent in the grass outside a church in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. By then they’d been told that God had chosen them to save America from Kamala Harris and a demonic government trying to “silence the Church.” They’d been told they had “authority” to establish God’s Kingdom, and reminded of their reward in Heaven. Now they listened as an evangelist named Mario Murillo told them exactly what was expected of Christians like them.

“We are going to prepare for war,” he shouted, and a few minutes later: “I’m not on the Earth to be blessed; I’m on the Earth to be armed and dangerous.”

That is how four days under the tent would end—with words that could be taken as hyperbolic, or purely metaphorical. And on the first day, people were not necessarily prepared to accept them. But getting people ready was the whole point of what was happening in Eau Claire, an event cast as an old-fashioned tent revival, only not the kind involving Nilla wafers and repentance. This one targeted souls in swing states. It was an unapologetic exercise in religious radicalization happening in plain sight, just off a highway and down the street from a Panera. The point was to transform a like-minded crowd of Donald Trump–supporting believers into “God-appointed warriors” ready to do whatever the Almighty might require of them in November and beyond.


 
According to the odds though there is nothing to separate them.
It's impossible to call. Trump's odds have been a bit short from day 1. Most evidence points yo a Harris win. But polls have been all over the shop the last few years. And Republicans still have time to meddle and ramp up interference.
 
So what next? The defence gets to argue that all those acts were official?
Chutkan will hold a trial within a trial to decide whether the indictment is valid or whether the acts evidenced are covered by immunity. It is for the judge to decide whether to hear oral argument (probably yes) and on what points. I would expect a decision in favour of the prosecution. After that, I expect Trump to appeal, arguing that he has immunity. Anticipate it finishing in POTUS with looney tunes Maga judges. This will run and run. Trump may die before a trial begins. Two years of argument? What a system but @Dax777 tells us it is a minor issue.
