They just "got him" on the E Jean Carroll Defamation case and they literally already "got him" in this very case, the Trump org has been found liable for fraud they are just sorting out damages.

I don't know why people keep posting the "nothing ever happens to him" comments. They didn't for a while because he was president and couldn't be charged. Now he isn't and every case so far has gone against him.

It might be the part where there’s a good chance he’ll be the next president again that’s causing that cynicism.

Your average person isn’t going to go count by count and see how he’s been punished, they’re going to see a guy who is still rich, still not in jail, and still the likely presidential nominee with a good chance of taking the office, and they’ll surmise that nothing ever happens to him.

And they wouldn’t be wrong.
