Maybe I'm confused about the logistics, how does the indictment hamstring Trump from campaigning? Unless he's actually imprisoned, can't he campaign like normal?

Well, Trump is talking like they’re about to come arrest him. Does he stay in custody while he is waiting for a conviction? Not sure… But that would be the scenario in which is unable to campaign.

He would not be held in custody. He's an extremely famous person who is trying to be elected president. He's basically the opposite of a flight risk. And he'd be a first-time offender charged with a not-especially-serious non-violent felony (or maybe even a misdemeanor).

I’m sure Josh and Ken discuss this at length on Serious Trouble! I think I’m gonna tune in.
