    As much as my justice boner is deflated by this statement, I'd rather have Trump convicted by a jury while having a competent attorney making smart decisions and defending him zealously. The last thing I want is his conviction to be overturned because someone took a shortcut.

      And, the standards of prosecution need to be set as high as possible because if history has anything to teach us, it's that the GOP will come after Biden as soon as that office changes hands. The precedents are there to protect future, potentially controversial leaders from (begging your pardon) trumped-up charges.
