Donald Trump thinks that by announcing his presidential campaign he is avoiding indictment, but the former president couldn’t be more wrong.

Maggie Haberman recently said on CNN:

I think it is gotten off to a lackluster start for a number of reasons and think the main run frankly is the relatively poor performance of Republicans in the midterms. Compared to the red wave that Republicans and some non-Republicans have been predicting was coming but Trump is focused on anything but his presidential campaign. 

I have been told by multiple people close to him that he sees a campaign as a shield against potential DOJ action or action there in Georgia in the form of an indictment against him. I don't think that has changed and think that you will see him continue over the next couple of weeks as Gloria predicted, as events unfold.
