It literally feels like deja vu, right?

Donald Trump has been indicted…for the third time. This time, the indictment has to do with his role in attempting to overturn the 2020 election.

CNN reports:

Donald Trump has been indicted on criminal charges by a federal grand jury in a case that strikes at the former president’s efforts to remain in the White House after losing the 2020 election and undermine the long-held American tradition of a peaceful transfer of presidential power.

As part of special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation, Trump was charged with: Conspiracy to defraud the United States; conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding; obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding; and conspiracy against rights.

He is scheduled to appear at the Washington, DC, federal courthouse at 4 p.m. ET on Thursday…”

Three indictments…

Will any of them lead to a conviction?

At this point, it’s just impossible for me to expect much in terms of justice for someone like Donald Trump. He has built his entire life around avoiding the consequences for his actions or lack thereof, and I’m not sure what reason there…
