I want the DOJ to take their time and dot every “i”and cross every “T”. Follow every thread no matter how far and how long it takes.
Why? Because this isn’t about indictments, it’s about convictions. Nothing is won and much is lost if a jury lets them off or gets hung because every detail wasn’t covered perfectly.
Burden of proof is on the prosecution, the case MUST be perfect. And that jury could ver6easily have a half dozen jurors on it that hate Trump with a white hot passion. A half dozen AOCs or a half dozen Nadlers or Pelosis. And they ALL have to vote guilty. You can’t make it quick or rushed, it has be tighter than a submarine. You have to have a unanimous verdict, and the jury won’t be 12 FReepers.
Exactly. And this is exactly why there was no indictment for the Comey leaks which, at best, would have been a weak case.
The left laughed at Trump every time he mentioned "witch hunt", but that's exactly what the left will accuse Trump of doing if there is ever an indictment. And they will accuse him of seeking revenge, and wanting to fill the jails with political prisoners (just like their heroes in Cuba, Venezuela, Red China, and the USSR).
And those accusations will be multiplied by the number of "reporters" who parrot those charges. It will be a relentless and brutal attack that will be calculated to taint any possible jury pool.
Any indictment must be backed up with evidence that is absolutely airtight and be based on charges that will be so obvious and clear to the average low-information voter that there can be no doubt. Technicalities and obscure legal concepts won't do the job.
And even that might be enough. And given the political environment, the best you might be able to do would be plea bargains.
The proverbial "800 lb. gorilla" is the 2020 election. Everything the left will do is geared to getting Trump out of office. Once Trump is re-elected, and I pray that he will be, everything changes.
And all these "Trump's-done-some-good-things-but-he-isn't-perfect-so-I-won't-vote" people need to face the fact that Trump is truly our last and only hope for saving the Republic. If Trump loses, the consequences will be far worse than any non-conservative thing Trump could ever do.
