Trump versus the US Justice Department

Donald Trump is expecting to be arrested any day and charged in connection with the attack on the Capitol on January 6 2021. Of all the indictments and potential indictments against the former president, this is the one that everyone has been waiting for. It will directly put Trump and his fanatical supporters and his whole presidency on trial. It's a staggering moment in US history. Trump has accused the US Justice Department of political assassination and has directed most of his venom at Jack Smith, the special counsel given the job of investigating all the allegations against the former holder of the highest office in the land. Innocent until proven guilty but these immense charges are being brought against a man who wants once again to be the holder of the highest office in the land. And because it's Trump, he could actually achieve this honour, innocent or guilty. It's a tricky one for the Republicans. Above anything else they want a Republican back in the White House and, amazingly, because Trump is so far ahead of his rivals, they seem happy to back him for the presidential nomination. Never mind the huge implications and the potential damage that might cause for the United States. The Republicans want their man in the White House come what may and if it's Trump, so be it. Meanwhile Trump will tell all his loyal supporters that he is the victim of a politicised witchhunt. However many indictments the Justice Department brings against Trump, the mighty MAGA (Make America Great Again) bandwagon keeps rolling on.
