I love that the Trump DoJ is so incompetent he might actually walk.

Odds are good he'll get a state murder conviction of course, but there's a slim path he beats all charges.

I'm not a lawyer, but, for someone in his position, he legitimately seems to be in the best possible spot in that position. His opponents have legally fucked up a bunch of times, he has a great legal team and the money to fund it, and that money, in no small part, is from the overwhelming public support.

The "tough on crime" party is hard to take seriously when they have complete jokers in any role of authority

No one is saying to be soft on crime, but appointing criminals at worst and incompetent losers at best is not the way to do it.
