It’s pretty insidious to claim the judge is biased because of a $100 donation.

When he is likely found guilty he will just delegitimise the verdict and his base will eat it up.

They will anyway. It doesn't really matter what happened or what any facts are, if it doesn't go his way, they will say it was fake blah blah blah and so will he.

They couldn't throw $10,000 between the all of them to make this argument look kind of legitimate?

This case isn't civil. If he's found guilty in this case he'll be making that claim to himself from inside a prison cell.

This is only the trial in Colorado to disqualify him from the ballot.

THIS case would just kick him off the ballot in Colorado.

And remove 10 electoral college votes. If this sets a big enough precedence to block him from getting 270, he's done.
