But if she is tried, THAT event would preoccupy the country to the exclusion of MAGA, and his opponents in Congress would do all they could to blow up his agenda. Pardon her, and the political dynamic takes a radical shift.

Isn’t it for this reason that we are hearing that cases are being tried before military tribunals - in order to take away the circus aspects? I don’t know. Just wondered.
None of these cases are going to be before a military tribunal. The hurdles to get there are huge, likely insurmountable, and the general military vs. civilian differences such as limit access to evidence for military reasons and reduced standard of proof aren't necessary, and would be seen as stacking the deck against the defendants.
Not just huge legal hurdles, I see tremendous political baggage going that route - and it isn't necessary, convictions can be had in civilian courts.
