Trial Balloon · Ep. 190: Trump Is Everywhere

The Trial of the Century

August 2, 2023 · 12:02 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Charlie Sykes: “The trial — if there is a trial before the election — will be (all hype aside) The Trial of the Century. Think O.J. times 10. The January 6th hearings cubed. There will be a parade of witnesses from Trump’s own administration; hammer blows of facts about his lies; videos of the violent attack on the Capitol played in an endless loop for weeks.”

“All in the midst of a presidential campaign.”

“Republicans desperately want next year’s election to be about inflation, the border, crime, drag queens, and Hunter Biden. Instead, it will be about Donald J. Trump and his attempts to sabotage the peaceful transfer of power.”
