I think they’re calculating the over-and-under on leaving Trump as a “convicted felon” with a suspended sentence vs the backlash that would result from sentencing him to jail time.
This has always been a political prosecution, everything has been to maximize political damage to Trump’s candidacy.
Guarantee that polls and political consultants will have a bigger impact than legal scholars.
Absolutely.
there is no such thing as a political prosecution
if it is political
it is persecution
it is tyranny
