David Graham: “What actually will happen is unpredictable. We don’t know what pieces of evidence—or even what investigations—might exist that aren’t public, we don’t know how prosecutors will wield the discretion the law affords them, and, of course, we don’t know how a jury might fall on any charges that end up being tried.”
“But the mountains of evidence already before the public—about Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election, about his handling of government documents, and about his previous interactions with the justice system—suggest a fierce conflict to come.”
Said former federal prosecutor Paul Rosenzweig: “He has learned that due process is the Achilles’ heel of liberal democracy. He’s weaponized the court systems all of his life.”
