It’s not really a Prisoner’s Dilemma when one prisoner doesn’t have the opportunity to flip, though - it’s not like if Trump agrees to testify against Meadows they’re going to reduce his sentence.
Eh. If fuckface actually had receipts and could stop incriminating himself on social media and television for even five minutes, he probably could. Putting a former POTUS in jail is a logistical and optical nightmare and Democrats would love a “symbolic” victory that results in trump on house arrest for the rest of his life.
Like, there is a reason Ford pardoned Nixon immediately.
But trump is, and has continuously been, too stupid to even do that. If he had ended it with “there are good people on both sides and we love you but please stop trying to murder pence” then none of this would be happening. Basically every prosecution wouldn’t want the smoke that comes with this and would have been content with effective exile.

That would have no bearing on the New York trial, the documents trial or the Georgia elections trial.
Sorry. You’re right. Cops and prosecutions always enforce exactly the law and nothing but the law and that is why fuckface has been in prison for decades now.
I sure love living in a world where nobody has ever gotten away with breaking the law because they are white and it would be inconvenient or unseemly to charge them.

New York I could see still going after him.
But all the election trials would likely have faded away. Stern warnings from up top that “we are dropping this”, a focus on the underlings, etc.
Why would they have faded away? He still broke the law in Georgia. And the documents scandal has nothing to do with the election.
Because the law only matters to the extent that people are willing to enforce the law.
And we have a long history of “We are done with this. it is time to heal” and pushing back on the rare occasions prosecutors do anything of value.
Again, why would that have any bearing on the documents case? That has nothing to do with the election whatsoever.

Again- what does the documents case have to do with the election?
