A'ight I've seen dozens of posts of people predicting the level of mattering this will be, so what the heck, here's a thread so you can post your prediction and then lord over those who get it wrong or the spectators who don't even play. If nothing else, at least we'll have the official D&D hivemindTM opinion.

Pick which of these 5 broad categories closest comes to what's gonna happen to the big wet boy. Dems = the DoJ / functioning government so I don't gotta type that out a bunch of times.

A) It matters and ends Trump as a credible political threat above like the Tulsi Gabbard level. He's imprisoned / flees to Russia to do TV spots with Steven Seagal / Executed at halftime of the Superbowl / Assassinated by the Deep State.

B) It's damaging and weakens Trump, but doesn't punish, punish him beyond making it probably too difficult to be president again. A fine, suspended sentence, some stern speeches or interviews with some real tut tutting going on. Some random Trump-apendages doing the perp walk

C) Dems try but fail. An ex-president? An obscenely rich white dude? Yeah, the american justice system is incapable of dealing with this and Trump skates through or buries this for his natural life with delays and countersuits at worst.

D) Dems don't even try. As above, but it's hard, so we get some fundraising instead of fighting and it remains a tempest in a teapot until the next story steals the headlines and eventually nobody but blue checkmark twitter makes note of it. Maybe the prosecutors just intentionally bungle everything. Basically the Don't Look Up option.

E) Hellworld black comedy zone. Biden pardons Trump / Trump declared king by rampaging hordes / Hackers seize the american nuclear missile arsenal / Trump turns the Donbas into Magatopia

What does "this" refer to? Stealing secret documents specifically? Or is everything he's done fair game in this conversation, including 1/6, election interference, tax evasion, charity fraud, etc?

Sure. It's generally focused on the maralago raid and everything in that orbit, but 1/6, tax evasion, hanging with Epstein, it's all fair game if you think it's taking Trump down.

In short, Tillman (and Volokh) held that the qualifications stipulated in the Constitution regarding eligibility for the office of President (i.e., having reached the age of 35 and having lived in the United States for 14 years) cannot be modified by Congress through the passage of laws, only by amending the Constitution itself.
