All the ways the Trump investigations could end.
indicates that, whatever the reason for the delay, prosecutors are finally turning their eyes towards the ringleaders of Jan. 6. As the New York Times reported last month, prosecutors have “substantially widened” the probe beyond just those who invaded the Capitol.
Trump being held criminally accountable for his role in the attempted insurrection and coup would have the strategic upside of defending, preserving, and upholding the rule of law even if it runs the risk of further political turmoil. Under this line of argument, handing Trump or anyone else who threatens democracy a “get out of jail free” card because he’s politically powerful would just be inviting more coups. Eventually, one might succeed.
In the current scenario, Trump isn’t even in office anymore, so why give him such a sweetheart deal? “That was a once in a lifetime, once in several lifetimes deal because there were unique circumstances,” London reiterated about the Agnew situation. “I don’t see how you could bring that to bear against Trump.”One final possibility that no prosecutor will ever admit to is this: Holding the threat of prosecution over Trump’s head in the hopes that he doesn’t run for office.
