Trump’s Politicized Prosecutions May Hit a Roadblock

When the president puts his political enemies on trial on pretextual grounds, jurors have the option of refusing to convict.

When Trump tries to indict his political enemies on pretextual grounds, grand jurors have the option of refusing to indict. When prosecutors ask for a conviction, jurors can refuse to convict. The Trump administration can treat this government of the people as his own mob enforcers, but the people need not acquiesce. When Trump abuses his power to settle political scores, the people can choose to nullify.

Comments

Juries have hung for a lot less than refusing to call Trump's dementia driven prosecutions "the rule of law."
In each and every purge trial, jurors will find Trump himself on trial.
And, remember, we're talking about a liar, crook, deadbeat, and thirty-four times convicted felon.
Great character witness for a case.
