Wouldn’t moving his case to a federal court also mean if he’s found guilty he could be pardoned later? 🧐
IANAL, but my understanding it’s still state charges and possible conviction. Moving it to federal just changes the venue which changes the jury pool which doesn’t benefit him that much. Could delay the trial though. Which we know is his Hail Mary.
Another part of it is that it won’t be televised in Federal Court, but it will be in Georgia state court. I think it scares him that all the evidence against him will be shown live and hard to ignore.
I doubt anyone can actually force Trump to go to prison at any level. He’s a flight risk, for one. He has an angry gun toting mob at his disposal. And, if he wins the presidency again, he will use federal agents to remove himself from any prison and prevent his capture.
It will take huge balls to actually deal with Trump. And America is a land of geldings wearing prosthetic testicles.
No.
Yes. If he or any other Republican is elected, they will pardon him of any convictions at the time and offer blanket immunity (officially or otherwise) for anything he will ever do.
