Probably Not

  Given the tremendous amount of deference afforded to all ex-presidents, I am now of the opinion that Trump walks for January 6th. Is he deserving of criminal charges, yes he is. Behind it all is simply the amount of force and power political parties and corporations exert on such matters. Could I be wrong. Yes, and for the sake of the tiny connection to democracy some of the country still holds, I hope I am. Hope for the best, brace for the likely worst.

 Guardian UK: Trump could face charges for trying to obstruct certification of election, legal experts say - Analysis: charges could be well founded given Trump’s incendiary remarks to a rally before the Capitol attack and aggressive pressuring of officials by Peter Stone in Washington DC

Only a D President would be Impeached and convicted of any of this and only a D President would be charged after being out of office. Trumpf will skate scott free on all of it including the charges in NY.

Yes, there's way too much billionaire influence and GOP power behind Trump for him to be touched by the law. I regret that Trump will not face justice but on the other hand, Trump has to literally be Trump and that existence in itself is a hellish nightmare. Seriously, the guy runs on 100% cortisol from hate and anger, and he's convinced that anything that comes out of his mouth is presidential. He's insane. Meanwhile, he is getting older and uglier, and there's only so far even Donald Trump can go.
