The protection appears to be that if Trump wished to commit crimes, he would commit crimes as a result of he could make something occur that he needs. Because the safety footage wasn’t deleted that signifies that Trump by no means dedicated the crime that he’s accused of. A protection that seems to say I can commit crimes, however I didn’t commit this crime does sound superb. Actually, it’s the sort of protection that might ship an individual to jail.
Are Trump’s choices for a protection this meager, or are Trump’s legal professionals attempting to get him locked up?
If this form of factor is what Trump’s protection workforce goes to court docket with, it may very well be an unpleasant trial and an orange jumpsuit for the previous president.
