But there's one thing we will never unstick from our minds: The somber, almost dazed look, of former President Donald Trump, at long last in the steely clutches of"WOW, they are going to ARREST ME," Trump shared on social media moments before walking into the courthouse.
Some argue Bragg's case is weak, a Rube Goldberg concoction of contingent offenses that the American public won't find nearly offensive enough to risk the backlash and even potential benefit to Trump's political prospects. We say that's not Bragg's problem. Leave the political strategy and public relations with the people who aren't sworn to uphold the law.
