August is the month when Donald Trump will be twice more indicted for crimes as President, just as we reach the 49th anniversary of the resignation of Richard Nixon as President, due to the Watergate Scandal, on August 9, 1974!
Already facing five trials on both civil and criminal matters, Trump will be faced with the strong likelihood of inability to be found innocent on the most important criminal matters, and with any state trial, as in the Georgia 2020 Election Results Investigation, not able to be pardoned from punishment by any President, including himself.
Trump may yet, at some point, come to the conclusion that it might be wise to make a deal with prosecutors, pleading guilty and avoiding prison time, with the stipulation that he would give up running for President, now and in the future.
That would be a blessing to the Republican Party, which is in a disastrous situation that is leading to future total disintegration of the party reputation and history, when it is time to move on to a return to a traditional “conservative” party of opposition to the Democratic Party.
I’m not quite as hopeful that he’s going to drop out the race.
The grand jury examining Trump’s role in the Jan. 6 riot and efforts to overturn the 2020 election has an indictment.

The four counts against Trump are: 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.
