“They’re going to get on the bandwagon,” Dershowitz said of prosecutors. The “approach is to get him before the election, convict him before the election, and he wins on appeal.”
“They’re all going to raise it,” said Eric Segall, a law professor at Georgia State University. “Trump is going to argue that he and all his merry people were simply ensuring the integrity and fairness of federal elections, something they had an obligation to do, and therefore he has immunity.”
Segall said the laws protecting federal officials from state prosecution serve an important purpose. Consider, for instance, federal officials working to desegregate the South during the civil rights era being thrown in jail by state officials opposed to those efforts. But Segall stressed that he doesn’t believe the facts of Trump’s intervention will warrant immunity.
He saying that’s their approach. Ultimately might come down to the Supreme Court which hasn’t favored Trump and similar cases so far.
Trump wins on appeal. That means in wins in court. Do you think appeals is not a court ?
I don’t see SCOTUS defending Trump. They’ve yet to intervene for him and I only see them stepping in this time. Most likely this will be ruled at a lower court

Exactly. The more attention he receives. The better he does in polls.
Everyone just needs to take away his platform. Stop giving him what he craves
What does this look like in context? Not charging him for crimes? Not covering this extremely newsworthy event?
Wait till after the election and then charge him.
The more attention they give him. The more it’s helping him in the polls. Isolate him and ignore him.
He’s not going to win the election unless they keep giving him the spotlight.
If he wins in court, which is very likely, he’ll become even more popular.
The only way to stop Trump is by taking away his audience.
Show your work here, because none of the actual lawyers I’ve seen weigh in on this have come to that conclusion.

Dershowitz is a well known legal expert. He believes there will be convictions but overturned in appeals.
Shouldn’t you be counting all your money instead of spending so much time strangely defending Trump online?
I have yet to defend Trump. Didn’t vote for the man, won’t vote for the man and I wish he would stop running for President.

That is the man. He’s very respected in the field.

That’s not what Dershowitz said.
