The former president is back in the news due to more legal troubles, including a motion for sanctions in New York, renewed investigations by the Manhattan DA, an FBI investigation into his mishandling of sensitive materials after leaving office, and cooperation by some of his family members with the January 6 Committee. All this means that we likely are about to see and hear a lot more about Donald Trump, particularly as public hearings around January 6 dominate news coverage later this spring and he gears up to respond. Here’s a quick rundown of Trump’s continuing legal perils and problems.
Can a special prosecutor continue to investigate and prosecute should a Republican win the Presidency in 2024 and appoint a new AttorneyGeneral. It seems that Mueller was ineffective ultimately as an “unwanted” special prosecutor. Thank you.
He will get away with it for two main reasons: 1). There is no precedent (or stomach) for prosecuting a president (pun intended), and 2). "Rule of Law" principle that supposedly applies to EVERYONE, really has limits for some (the rich, powerful, well-connected, moneyed, and able to drag the government or other party down with endless delays), but NO limits for other (most of the law-abiding or other) citizens.
How this man continues to escape and consequences for his criminality is beyond me, money really does make a difference there is no hope he will ever see consequences for his treachery.
I have run out of hope that Trump will be tried for anything. I just don't see it, and that's been the story of Trump's life. He is made of Teflon!
On admissions of guilt, see, Lee v US, 343 U.S 747. The "blabbibg" is defintely agaist TFG's penal interest.
