Trump Preps for Incoming Indictments

In today’s installment of his popular video series “Justice Matters,” former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner makes the point that Trump’s attorneys are gearing up to deal with incoming indictments, and that his principal line of defense is going to be expecting his top-level team to “take the fall” for him.  This means hoping that people like Rudy Giuliani, Jeffery Clark, John Eastman, and Mark Meadows will refuse to testify, thus insulating him from evidence that he himself organized the coup attempt.

But how is all this going to play out in practice?  Kirschner, who has visited many jails and prisons around the country for various purposes over this three-decade career, surmises that these old white guys “aren’t going to thrive” in that environment and, given that they all realize that Trump is a despicable person who has no loyalty to them whatsoever, will be highly motivated to cooperate with government prosecutors in exchange for reduced sentences.

We’ll see.
