As things presently stand, the prosecution is free to make assertions, which may or may not be supported by verifiable evidence.

Doesn’t matter. The verdict has already been announced, which virtually assures Trump’s much larger vote total in the general election.

The Giant Antaeus in Mythology

Antaeus, son of Gaia and Poseidon, was a Libyan giant whose strength appeared invincible. He challenged all passers-by to a wrestling match that he invariably won. Upon winning, he slaughtered his adversaries. That is until he met Hercules.

Hercules had gone to the garden of the Hesperides for an apple. On Hercules’ way back, the giant Antaeus challenged the hero to a wrestling match. No matter how many times Hercules threw Antaeus off and tossed him to the ground, it did no good. If anything, the giant appeared rejuvenated from the encounter.

Hercules eventually realized that Gaia, the Earth, Antaeus’ mother, was the source of his strength, so Hercules held the giant aloft until all his power had drained away. After he killed Antaeus, Hercules proceeded safely back to his return destination.

Now I ask you, in this encounter, is Trump Antaeus, or is he Hercules?

I would say he is more like Antaeus. No matter how many time he gets knocked down, he keeps getting up. He gets his power from his base. The persecutors are trying to hold him up with BS lawfare to drain his power.
Interesting story, I haven’t heard it before.
