Some members of Trump's inner circle looking forward to the DOJ possibly indicting him: report

Raw Story  

Appearing very early on MSNBC on Monday morning, the Guardian's Hugo Lowell reported that there are some members of Donald Trump's inner circle who are willing to gamble that his being hauled into court by the DOJ would jumpstart his moribund 2024 presidential campaign despite the legal peril. "I think it's a really interesting question, you have to see how the cards play out," Lowell began before adding that there is a divide among the former president's closest remaining aides. ALSO IN THE NEWS: ‘Stunning revelation’ calls Mitch McConnell’s impeachment vote into question: Dem strategist "The Trump campaign thinks that they would steamroller the opposition in the Republican primary and he will be the nominee and that donations would come flying in," he elaborated. "That would basically allow Trump to go on the campaign trail, campaign rallies and say, as a declared presidential candidate, they are coming after me."
