Even before arraignment, the grift continues. Breitbart already assumes a gag order will be issued like the speculation about petitioning for a change of venue.

Bloomberg Opinion editor and “TrumpNation: The Art of Being the Donald" author Tim O'Brien cited only one other occasion in which Donald Trump faced serious legal jeopardy. In that case, he explained, it was Trump and his father, Fred Trump Sr., who were being prosecuted by the justice department for racial discrimination.

Now Trump is in trouble again, only this time, his father isn't here to bail him out.

"You know, there is this myth around him that he has eluded the law time in time again, but the reality is that he's never had this kind of legal artillery lined up on his doorstep," said O'Brien. "I think, of course, he is afraid of it as any person would be who is facing the possibility of being perp-walked in front of the country. And I think he is most likely going to go to the streets in this. So, when he says he will have a press conference and he will make an announcement after he is arraigned, I would look for any dog whistles, as he's already done. He will use racial and racist dog whistles, but I think the real concern here is the extent to which he and the people around him, and some members of his own party, used this to foment violence just like he did on Jan 6th. I think he is cornered. I think when he has exhausted all of these legal remedies and legal strategies to stave this off, the default will be to go to the streets, go to his supporters, and encourage violence."
