Leverage 

Former president Trump is using his indictment for keeping classified material as leverage to raise more campaign funds.  He knows how to market even when he is in trouble.  And, his base of believers will open their checkbooks and send cash.  Dozens of politicians on both sides of the aisle wish they had a similar opportunity.  But, they don't. Trump is a special case.  He is a manufacturer of grievances, a narcissist and a sloganeer.  Millions follow him blindly.  He speaks to their concerns and no amount of personal trouble he gets into is enough to lift blindfolds from their eyes.  If Trump prevail in court, he will be almost untouchable, and that is what he is betting on.
