I'm afraid I'm pessimistic about the DOJ bringing charges against Trump, because....

[LAS14]

.... even before he was nominated to run for president there many stories about how he never gave a direct order. His people "just knew" what he wanted done. I think it's going to be very hard to get those words that will stand up in a court of law.

I am somewhat reassured by the concept of "willful ignorance" not being a defense. But how do you prove that?

1. By trying to fire your truth tellers an hiring unqualified replacements

you have demonstrated you know what you are doing.

6. It's really pretty typical

And not a surprise that it's the OP'S pov.

5. I also have a reason I don't believe either

There’s basically an unwritten rule that neither major party will ever send a former President to prison. It’s bad politics. Start doing it and you open Pandora’s Box. No one who values some semblance of peace and tranquility wants to open Pandora’s Box.

Now if these types of things were happening every presidency or so, then you have an issue to address. But that’s not the case. Presently, Trump will be dead in a few years and no longer a force. Let time do its thing.
