So what am I to believe - he ain't gonna go there.
I don’t think he will either. In fact I’d be shocked if he did. My point is just that If a judge tells him to, which the judge legally and within his constitutional authority, did, he can either comply or suffer the consequences. In this case, he won’t be on the ballot and face very real legal issues. Perhaps he can’t be jailed until his time in office expires, but they will not go away.
This also ads grist for the mill for conservatives trying to oust RINOS as they will have a sitting criminal they refuse to impeach.
