(7,794 posts)preclude his indictment for additional crimes he committed when evidence of them also becomes "airtight"? Would the FBI be forced to close their investigations? Would it somehow prevent the indictment of other players? Would it damage the state's case against other players crimes, evidence of which was discovered simultaneously and in the course of prosecuting Trump for the current "sure thing"? I wouldn't think so.
Where is there the logic behind your statement? Is there some legal gimmickry beyond the understanding of mere mortals at play here?
Does the DOJ think he'll skate on what may turn out to be interpreted as flimsy evidence? If that's the case then either they're ALL incompetent/corrupt or the law is meaningless when it comes to prosecuting high roller politicos, fascism is here already, too bad.
My logic runs like this:
When you have a herd of 100 cattle break out of their pasture, scattering all over creation, you don't wait until you have all of them in hand before you start re-pasturing them. You mend the fence and go after them, penning them up as you find them, simultaneously.
No rancher with any sense would ever take the position (your position as I understand it):
I can't put these 10 cows I have found back into the pasture until I find all the other 90 cows and put them all back at once.
So, what is it? Corrupt legal/court system? Incompetence in high places? It's just impossible for some reason nobody will admit to? Or is it simply a fact that the DOJ can't raise cattle?
