Prosecutors don’t bring cases they can’t win. They just don’t do it. It reflects badly on them.
Add the fact that prosecuting a former president is incredibly hard. This guy 100% did all of this shit in public. They have:
There’s no way anyone is getting away without a felony conviction. Plus, the lawyers involved are buttercups compared to the federal prosecutors.
I know one federal prosecutor. He is a very nice guy, very smart and will not hesitate to throw white collar criminals in jail. They ruin criminals’ lives like it’s their day job, because it is.
(Cough, cough) Rittenhouse (cough)
