    Probably.

    The judges in Trump’s various cases have to walk a fine line between justice being served and accusations of being politically aggressive against a high profile defendant.

    Accusations which could derail the case and do even more damage to trust in the judiciary and the overall rule of law.

      accusations of being politically aggressive against a high profile defendant

      Republicans already launch those accusations regardless of whether or not they have merit. Worrying about what Republicans are going to say is a losing game.

        Well it’s more about a mistrial. Anything that isn’t clear cut is going to be grounds for an appeal.

        Republicans should be written off, but Enlightened Centrists matter (unfortunately). You want to keep the merit of the claims low enough that centrists can’t latch onto it for “both sides” purposes.

          The centrists argue in bad faith all the time and say stupid shit without merit too, they’re just smarter about it.

          It’s time for us to ignore and dismiss them the way we do right-wingers.

            OK. Now we’ve ignored and dismissed 60% of the population. How do you propose to do that and still advance policy in a democracy?
