"The optics of this trial is going to be like pulling back the curtain on the

Wizard of Oz to a decent sized chunk of America." Ron Filipkowski on twitter a couple of minutes ago.

He probably knows of what he speaks. So many Americans either have forgotten or never knew how sleazy this freak is. SOME of them are going to find out. And unlike us, they are not prepared.

Most of America have a problem with paying $130K to keep something quiet.

He's cooked and he knows it. All he does is blame 'Democrat prosecutors' and tell us how he's being framed. The facts tell a different story.

and the just the downright sleaziness and creepiness of the entire thing. There's really no way to spin it and that's why he was so desperate to hide it from the beginning.

He thought this one was about financial fraud and that his DOJ buried it because Michael Cohen was in the slammer! lol

even with a "jury" that was largely his fan club.

Each investigation exposes more of his crimes, so that it becomes obvious to more and more people how broad a spectrum of crime he both initiated and fostered.

I have suspicions about transgressions not yet revealed.

Let's just say that there's something in his crime history to shock almost everyone.
