Timing Trump’s trials or sentences to hurt him the most politically is twisting justice to our own ends, even if done in a theoretically altruistic manner

I was saying that's the most likely he lands in prison where he belongs....

Not that multiple states should collude to stall cases...

I mean, the states have been trying to get these moving for years. How would anyone rational accuse Dems of "timing" things?

If you're worrying about what republicans will say, don't. It doesn't matter what happens, republicans are going to say some stupid shit. Stop worrying about what they'll complain about, if they don't have anything to complain about, they'll invent something. And their voters can't tell the difference anyways.

I'm just tired of predicting what will happen long term, or the most likely path to a possible result, and having people act like I want that result or am trying to make it happen.

It's the same logic that got medicine women burnt as witches centuries ago. Move past it.

Whether the person making a prediction wants it to come true or not doesn't matter. What's important is how likely the prediction comes true
