Axios: “If Trump is likely to lose in court in even one of his three — probably soon to be four — criminal prosecutions, he may turn to unprecedented, extraordinary measures for a way out.”
“Trump appears to be working on three escape hatches to keep himself out of prison.”
- Delay trials until after the 2024 election, hoping he’ll be president again and able to pardon himself.
- Count on friendly judges to steer things in his favor.
- Frame every defeat as political vendetta — and trust the Supreme Court will overturn any guilty verdicts.
