Won’t matter until they face real consequences.
Not entirely convinced by this specific example - he lost the civil case by default because [people think] responding to discovery might reveal things that he doesn’t want the criminal case to know about.
Deliberately incurring a fine in one case to try and avoid jail in another is a bit different than not being able to mount a defense.

Yeah. They know what they’re doing. They’ve played the game their entire lives. The gullable low tier lackies might be different though.
Yeah, I feel like so much of Trump’s 4 indictments now will come down to the loyalty of the others indicted.
If they finally wake up and smell the coffee, realize that he only cares about himself, and that their loyalty gets them nothing from him, and they agree to cooperate with prosecutors, that’s best case for them and the state/US, and the American people.
The time for cooperation has ended, as far as the prosecution is concerned. None of the indicted co-conspirators are being offered the option to rat.
This strongly suggests the prosecution feels their case is already ironclad against those indicted. Since they have devices with private messages on them, ratting someone out may be completely unnecessary.
As always, friendly reminder that if you’re going to commit crimes, do not text, mail, email, or otherwise put down in writing that you are knowingly committing crimes.
Any prosecutor worth their salt will see this move and immediately move to ammend their discovery motion for whatever the civil trial would’ve asked for, too, for the exact reason you listed.
Turns out the MAGA firehose of bullshit goes appropriately limp and useless in court.
But… but… lock her up? Buttery males? 😭
It just confirms that there is conspiracy against them.
All it confirms is that they’re corrupt and stupid, like their supporters.
No, you have it reversed. They’re the conspirators.
You kinda gotta include a /s unfortunately. Some people actually feel that way, you know?
Yeah, I see that it went over their heads.
Have a compensation upvote. People need to understand /s without having to write it out.
That having been said …your wording could have been a bit more sarcastic to let the reader know.
