I just wish they'd jail or shoot the prick.

The bad news is the NYT poll that came out today.

Polls at this point in time mean bupkis.

I look at Jack Smith and his background and demeanor, and never ever want to be in his crosshairs. That guy has brought down war criminals- I'd be a cheap court date and in a long lock-up tout-suite. Glad my only (victimless) crime was speeding with the rest of the traffic on my work commute.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

I get that, but this means that 43 % of Americans actually think that this idiot could actually function in the White House. 
Even it were 5 % it would still be shocking.

It's probably a wash, though.

This (latest) Trump indictment lists six unindicted co-conspirators. The general consensus is that at least five of them are lawyers who were hired by Trump: Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Sidney Powell, Jeffrey Clark, and Kenneth Chesebro.

Doesn’t this severely undercut Trump’s ‘advice of counsel’ defense?

It goes to intent. If he didn't intend to break the law he may not be culpable.
