Trump is feeling newly emboldened, operating under the assumption that "second is the best" in his historic second impeachment - and acquittal. Now the party has already come crashing down thanks to the ocean of lawsuits meeting the Mar-a-Lago Man©.
But is our 45th President going to jail? Is there any shot of that really happening?
New York Law School Professor and former Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Rebecca Roiphe is here to answer your questions. In this conversation between Professor Roiphe and (her former student) host Dennis Futoryan, Esq., hear about how Trump's acquittal affects the future of the country's attitudes toward impeachable conduct, what it means for the guardrails of our already weakened democracy (if we can keep it), and what would a more "competent" version of Trump do in the future now that an insurrection has not become an impeachable precedent.
And what of Trump's lawsuits? Outside investigations about the insurrection, frivolous election lawsuits, interference in Georgia's election, tax fraud and New York business dealings through the Trump Organization, no Presidential shield, defamation lawsuits from those he allegedly sexual molested, and more. Which lawsuits are weakest and which are strongest? What is expected of Trump's lawyers and how confident are the various prosecutors and plaintiff's counsels coming after the former President?
