“Several millions of Americans worried he won’t”

I hope it's a few more than several...

To be fair, we're also worried that, if he does, his followers will go violent again. Not that this is a reason to excuse him him prison. It just means that it might not be all rainbows and puppies if Trump goes to prison. Our celebrations might be interrupted by home grown right wing terrorist attacks.

They won't go away if we pussy-foot around them.

I'm definitely not saying that we should go easy on Trump to appease them. We just need to keep in mind that Trump heading to prison won't be the end of this. We'll need be be ready to send those terrorists to prison as well.

We should just give them Czechoslovakia.

Only 91? Shit. AZ state and NJ federal indictments need to get here soon.

Is the NJ federal case about him stealing documents as well?

The audio recording of him allegedly showing off classified docs and admitting he hadn't declassified them took place in New Jersey.
