32. Another bit of (wild?) speculation: Trump is a protected federal Confidential Informant.

Mar 2022

Here's an interesting and informative article about Trump's ability to miraculously avoid any prosecution for so many years (judge for yourselves if this is plausible):

"What happens when a Confidential Informant becomes President?"

"That’s the thing about Confidential Informants: they are confidential...The only way to know for sure if Donald John Trump is a Confidential Informant is if he admits it himself (unlikely), or if law enforcement comes forward (illegal). But the circumstantial evidence is compelling. The pattern is: 1) Trump deals with mobsters as usual; 2) Law enforcement begins investigating Trump; 3) Mobsters suddenly get busted, while 4) investigation into Trump is scuttled. This happened three times that we know about...I can conceive of no scenario in which Trump was not a CI, and a top echelon one at that. He’s avoided indictment too many times. No one is that lucky."
