The real reason we know Donald Trump is going to prison

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Four months ago, the NRA announced it was declaring bankruptcy and moving to Texas. At the time, Palmer Report pointed out that the New York Attorney General would likely have no problem getting this stopped in court. Sure enough, four months later, the courts finally sided with the AG yesterday, pinning the NRA down so it can be dismantled. So what does this have to do with Donald Trump?

We keep hearing statements like this: “If Trump hasn’t been indicted by now, it’s never going to happen.” – “There’s no way Trump will ever spend a single day in prison.” – “Trump is going to get away with it all.” We keep hearing this kind of defeatism over and over again, and it’s all based on nothing beyond the fact that the criminal justice system moves slowly.

But as we keep seeing, the legal system really does keep plowing ahead, even if its plow speed is set to extra slow. By now, most observers likely forgot that the New York AG even had a court case pending against the NRA. But sure enough, the courts sided with the AG, which they were always going to do.

Accordingly, Manhattan prosecutors are still plugging along with their grand jury indictment process against Donald Trump. Details keep periodically leaking out which make 100% clear that the process is intact, moving forward, and on track for Trump’s inevitable indictment and arrest.

The criminal indictment process moves at a pace that can methodically ensure a conviction at trial. The people running that process have no interest in the impatience of social media prognosticators, because their job is to get a conviction, not to rush a botched indictment in order to please the impatient.

Of course those same impatient people can’t resist going full-on defeatist, insisting that the slow nature of the legal process is somehow proof that Trump has gotten away with it all. But this is pure gibberish, aimed at appealing to frustration, devoid of any logic or evidence.

Donald Trump will be indicted. He’ll be arrested. He’ll be tried. He’ll be convicted. He’ll spend the rest of his life in prison. The only way he’ll avoid any of this is, frankly, if he croaks first. Of course the defeatists would probably spin that as somehow being a victory for him too. It’s their nature.
