The big problem for the prosecution would be that no particular act of his, in and of itself, was 'criminal', and sitting presidents have a great deal of leeway, legally. And 'conspiracy to install yourself as dictator for life' is probably not in the law books.

As such I highly doubt a case will ever be brought against him.

Now, he may end up being prosecuted for that bit with meddling in the vote counting in GA, but I'm guessing at worst (for him) it'll involve a fine and probation.

The bit with Letitia James ... is a civil case, so he's not going to jail for that either.

Then there's the fact that we'll probably lose Congress (at least the House) in November, meanwhile Trump will stall and file appeals and get 'his' judges to rule in his favor in most cases.

He's going to skate, so I'd prepare yourself.
