Great job of summarizing this convoluted mess of an indictment. I’ve had my fill of DJT, but this is beyond the pale. Trump Derangement Syndrome is real. This may end up blowing up in Bragg’s face because it could get DJT a second term as President. I have a feeling this is only going to get worse.

I was optimistic about a Trump presidency in 2016, and up until the whole COVID nonsense he was a solid B/B+ President in my book. Economic growth wasn't great but it was real, job growth wasn't great but it was real, wage growth was real, and he was the first President in my lifetime not to start a new foreign war/military engagement (although he continued Obama's illegal foreign wars, which was a disappointment).
But the weakness of Trump's mode of governance was made plain with COVID. While under normal circumstances he was a surprisingly Constitutional President up until 2020, when the Pandemic Panic Narrative took hold he was true to form and set about doing things. He freely made shameless use of whatever levers of government power he could in the name of "fighting" the supposed pandemic.
As a direct consequence, part of Trump's legacy from his (first?) term of office was to leave the Federal Government significantly more fascistic and authoritarian than it was before--a quality that Dementia Joe's handlers have been all too happy to exploit and take even further.
As has been said by philosophers and theologians from Bernard of Clairvaux through Samuel Johnson and onto C.S. Lewis, "the road to Hell is paved with good intentions." That about sums up Trump's political legacy. It also makes me less than enthused about a return engagement.
The thing (person) who bugged me the most about Trump was Peter Navarro. He was like Rasputin to Trump, and is the main reason I have long thought Trump is a sinking ship.... which is wonderful news for the remainder of humankind.
Trump may or may not be a sinking ship, but given that the other "ships" in the stagnant sea that we call politics are all also taking on water--and not just in the US but everywhere--even if this prosecution (rather, persecution) marks Trump's ultimate political demise, I am not at all convinced that such leaves mankind in an improved position.
Watching one sinking ship slip under the waves is of no comfort at all when every other ship is sinking as well. Unless we find a way to stop a few ships from sinking, we're all going to drown.

Thank you for your kind words.
