The immediate past president of the United States reportedly is plotting his political future while he spends time at his posh resort in South Florida.

Hold on a minute, Donald Trump.

The ex-president’s political future might be decided by at least two prosecutors up and down the East Coast. One of them, District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. in Manhattan, N.Y., reportedly is assembling a mountain of evidence related to assorted tax, campaign finance and related matters associated with Trump. He keeps calling back a former Trump lawyer/fixer/convicted felon for more information on what Trump did before he was elected president. Vance also has summoned the help of racketeering investigators who reportedly are pretty adept at rooting our corruption.

Meanwhile, down yonder in Fulton County, Ga., District Attorney Fani Willis is looking into whether Trump broke state laws by pressuring a Georgia secretary of state into “finding” enough votes to flip that state’s presidential election total; President Biden won that state’s electoral votes, but Trump reportedly wanted officials to dig up enough votes to give Trump the electoral victory.

I haven’t a clue as to either of these probes will produce indictments. However, I have heard reports from prosecutors experienced in these matters who suggest that Cyrus Vance Jr. is closing in on a near-certain indictment of the former president on an array of campaign finance violation and/or tax violations. He was able to secure those elusive tax returns that Trump has fought so hard to keep from public view.

So, does Donald Trump have a political future, such as a potential return to the presidential campaign trail in 2024? I’ll venture a wild guess and suggest that any future that awaits Donald Trump likely won’t include raw politics.

At least that is my sincere hope.
