2023 was an eventful year, but it may have set the stage for an even more eventful 2024. From the prospect of a former U.S. president going to jail to the outcome of the highly consequential war in Ukraine, there will be no lack of prime suspects behind the unfolding drama of the coming year.
As we prepare to leave 2023 behind, Straight Arrow News contributor Dr. Rashad Richey offers his top predictions for the new year, primarily centered around a former president of the United States.
Number one, Donald Trump is going to the pokey. He will be prosecuted and I think he will be successfully prosecuted. There will, in fact, be a criminal felony conviction, if not multiple criminal felony convictions.
The case, I believe, that has the absolute most aggression connected to it is the RICO case coming out of Fulton County, by way of elected District Attorney Fani Willis. Let me tell you why.
Remember, the way it works in a state prosecution, for a state like Georgia is: Find a jury, test the evidence, jury makes the decision. Well, we have already seen that once juries are actually presented with information related to Donald Trump, they tend to vote in a way that’s affirmative of the prosecution’s theory. It was a grand jury in D.C. that voted to indict Donald Trump. It was a federal grand jury that voted to serve subpoenas based on evidence presented, and it will be another jury who will convict Trump of felonies.
Also, look at the witness list from Fani Willis. The witness list includes people like William — they call him Bill — Barr. Steve Bannon. Also, former VP Mike Pence — you know, the guy that Trump wanted to have killed after Pence decided to follow the law. Yeah, that guy is going to likely take the stand.
