A net of justice is tightening around 2020 election deniers and may be closing in on Trump | CNN Politics
It turns out that there is a heavy price for trying to steal votes, defaming defenseless election workers and invading the US Capitol to try to thwart a democratic transfer of presidential power. And accountability is moving ever closer to Donald Trump.
Its important to keep in mind CNN is in the business of selling headlines.

Generally, media barons don't give a fuck about accuracy or if it helps the country, as much as if it gets clicks/gets views/sells issues.
Yeah, would love to ban them from the list of allowed sources. I HATE when news plays on emotions, tribalism, clickbaiting, etc. and CNN checks all those boxes.

Then you would have to ban every media outlet from the list of allowed sources.

LOL not that CNN is my favorite source, but this is not a talking head tribalism segment. It is a substantive news article and it is not wrong.
Every other media source is also in the business of selling headlines.
I’ve been reading the same “Trump is about to be in trouble” articles since 2015.
Yeah, the continued treating Trump with kid gloves and continually proving there are two separate justice systems gives me very, very little faith anything will actually happen to him.
Remember, they weren't actually looking to prosecute him for much of anything until the documents fiasco where they gave him multiple chances to cough up the documents, but only turned it into a criminal prosecution when it became completely clear he was unwilling to cooperate. They've slow walked this shit as much as humanly possible and not to "ensure the case is rock solid."
The fact is, any normal person would have been locked up two years ago, with an unaffordable bail, and would have been thrown behind bars with additional charges the first time he threatened the courts, the jurists, and society in general.
Hell, there was an anarchist in Florida who simply posted online about how people needed to own guns and be prepared to defend themselves. He posted these ideas online on January 6th and in the days following. He has never committed any violence. He's got a longer prison sentence than a lot of people who were actually present at January 6th.
I'll believe something is going to happen to Trump when I fucking see it.

This article is about "election deniers", not just Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump. e.g. It is about the Punk Boys receiving long prison sentences, and Ghouliani being found guilty of slandering poll workers.

...far-right Proud Boys group received long sentences despite their pleas for mercy...
...judge ruled that Giuliani had lost the defamation suit...
To be fair, how can you be in legal troubles if your best buddy is deciding if you get charged or not?
Yeah, I'm not holding my breath, it is possible that he could stil avoid jail, but at least now there's a real chance he could end up in one.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
On Thursday alone, two members of the far-right Proud Boys group received long sentences despite their pleas for mercy from a judge after they were convicted of seditious conspiracy for their actions during the January 6, 2021, mob attack on Congress.
Trump on Thursday quietly entered a not guilty plea in a vast racketeering case in Georgia that charges him and 18 others – including Giuliani – with trying to overturn President Joe Biden’s win in the swing state.
Trump’s former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows could hear imminently whether his bid to move the state case against him to federal court will succeed, after he endured a tough cross-examination Monday over his claims he was simply doing his job.
The time it has taken to bring cases, however, has inserted the justice system squarely in the middle of the next presidential campaign, fueling claims that Trump – and not American voters – is the true victim of election interference.
Trump’s custom of attacking any organization that seeks to check his power or counter his alternative version of reality – including the media, political institutions and the FBI – almost always means those bodies emerge tarnished, especially in the eyes of his supporters.
After a judge ruled that Giuliani had lost the defamation suit because he had failed to provide information sought in subpoenas, Moss and Freeman said in a statement that the former mayor had “helped unleash a wave of hatred and threats we never could have imagined.” They added, “It cost us our sense of security and our freedom to go about our lives.”
