That has to be a rhetorical question, right?

What's in the best interest of the nation or whether his jailing will cause a civil war, are not standards that anyone is required to take into account when determining whether he should be charged, tried, convicted or sentenced.

Sure, maybe Smith decides he won't recommend an indictment because it won't be in the best interest of the nation, but that is doubtful given his background as a war crimes prosecutor.

If he does recommend an indictment, Garland would have to find that his recommendation is not what a reasonable prosecutor might recommend based on the facts and the law. Legally, he cannot use a standard like interest of the nation in this assessment.

Trump's defense lawyers cannot argue to the jury that they should not convict because it might start a civil war or whatever. (Conceivably they could acquit for that reason anyway though.)

The judge has some leeway in sentencing but depending on that the crime is, mandatory minimums could come into play.

The secret service has no authority to influence, block, or circumvent a sentence handed down by a judge.

Just to add:

If trump is prosecuted and/or goes to prison, there will NOT be a "civil war."
That's all silly talk. Can there be some rioting in some areas? ... maybe, possibly. But no "civil war" between states or secession from the union.

Agreed. I think a few deranged indiviuals like the Proud Boys will make some moves, perhaps a few more Charlottsville incidents across the country, but nothing that law enforcement can't handle. As a last ressort, the governors could step in or Biden just federalize the National Guards to take care of the situation.

The Congress men are waiting til after Trump loses to go after Trump on Civil Lawsuits on Defamation and Torts just like Stormy Daniels did Swalwall said this and even if Trump is convicted he can have it overturned hy a 6/3 R Crt anyways

Trump already got impeached and will never he Prez he will lose to DeSantis whom is Romney whom doesn't get Blk vote that's why Romney only got 47% or lose to Biden, Docugate still dogs Biden but not in blue states we see it in the red states polls but that's why it's called wave insurance

If Trump butchered and ate a live baby on national television, he would face at most house arrest.  Congressional Republicans (excluding the many who would claim not to have seen it) would blame the baby.

And Hillary Clinton.

“Trump will easily win re-election in 2020”

Became

“Trump will never be indicted”

Becomes

“Trump will never be convicted”

Becomes

“Trump will never go to jail”

I think the national trauma/injustice of 2016 made people think Trump is somehow superhuman and unable to suffer any consequences. He will.

Possible, but less than 50/50. He first has to be convicted, of some stuff too serious to Grant house arrest on, and that he doesn't die while the appeals are ongoing.
