Is anyone surprised?

 When Donald Trump was President, he was impeached 2 times.

He could not be prosecuted for many crimes while President, which is why he fought so hard; even to the point of make up stories on how the election was stolen, in order to stay in office.

Once he was out of office, he no longer had this protection.

Once out, he became subject to:

1. Business dealings in NY

2. Hush money paid 

3. Classified papers he fought not to give back

4. Election interference in GA

and a slew of other business and personal lawsuits coming.

Not that he is unaccustomed to lawsuits:

From the Arizona Central:

4,095 lawsuits

"An exclusive and ongoing USA TODAY analysis of legal filings across the United States finds that the presumptive Republican presidential nominee and his businesses have been involved in thousands of legal actions in federal and state courts over the past three decades. They range from skirmishes with casino patrons to million-dollar real estate suits to personal defamation lawsuits."

So to him, this is not something new.  What is new is that some of the cases might involve jail time.  Not something he can settle out of court and move on.

So people are saying he is being attacked because he is running for President.  Actually, all these cases were before he announced.  He is running BECAUSE of the cases.  He is using it to deflect and plead for sympathy and play the martyr.  

The question is - will it work?
