Should Trump be Indicted?

The left doesn't care if we are a nation of laws or not.....look at their reaction to the events in Minnesota and Oregon, among others.  What they care about is never having to deal with Trump again, and they don't care how they get there....laws and reason be damned, as evidenced by the 2 impeachment attempts.  You would think they would have been so embarrassed after the first one that they'd never try again.....but here we go. LOL

No reason he *COULDN'T* be indicted but plenty of reasons a prosecutor should be very cautious going after that scalp.  

1)  The investigation and decision making process need to be bulletproof.  No way Trump pleads guilty and his legal team will make the prosecution earn every bit of their paycheck.  Cut even one corner, and it'll come out in court.  

2)  It will be difficult to find a jury pool given the media frenzy around the allegations. 

3)  The standard is much higher for criminal trials than it is for political impeachment.  While the media has already declared him guilty of everything imaginable, their standards are horrible especially for a despised subject.  The prosecutor will have a very difficult time establishing that Trump intended to violate the law and wasn't relying on the best advice of financial/legal counselors.  They'd basically have to have evidence where he instructed these counselors to knowingly break the law for him.  If what they've got is "find me tax avoidance strategies so I don't have to pay taxes" that won't cut it for a criminal court judge.  

Here's the way I'd suggest the prosecutor evaluate the case.  
Replace the name "Donald J. Trump" with "John Q. Public."  
If you'd take the case to trial for JQP, take it for DJT.  If you'd not waste the time going after JQP, leave DJT alone too.  

Sadly, I doubt the prosecutors will see or heed my advice and their judgment is clouded by thoughts of dancing around the media bonfire waving his scalp.  

it isn’t whether people love him or hate him.  It’s finding jurors “untainted “ by the media hype.  Almost nobody in NYC would qualify and I doubt prosecutors will be happy with a jury comprised of Amish folk.  

I wasn't answering the original question, I was answering a question put up in the follow-up post.  Surely you can keep up with that, right?  They say reading is fundamental, maybe that's right.

The left always does this.   

I don't think this was ever about indicting Trump directly.  It's about cutting off his financial knees.

From the Forbes article:

“I can’t underscore enough how devastating an indictment would be to the Trump Org,” tweeted Daniel Goldman, a former assistant U.S. attorney in the Southern District of New York who prosecuted mafia families and insider traders. “Every lender would call their loans and no way Trump Org can pay them all, likely leading to bankruptcy.”

“That would be almost a death blow to the Trump Organization,” Mr. Goldman told MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace. “No bank will ever do business with an indicted company.”

No doubt the former Grifter-in-Chief will continue to milk his supporters out of money, but that well will dry up one day.

Every lender wants repaid entirely.  It isn’t in their interest to drive the borrower into bankruptcy where they’ll wait years to get $0.30 on the dollar. 

What’s the old adage?  If you owe the bank $100, you’ve got a problem.  If you owe the bank $1,000,000, the bank has a problem...
