I don’t think they have a choice, even if they wanted to resist prosecuting him. It’s going to be sooner rather than later. Trump could easily be under both federal and state indictment at some point between Election Day [Nov. 8] and New Year’s Day. …
I don’t believe that Trump is going to plea bargain. I think he could go to prison, but it is more likely that he will serve home confinement. In all likelihood, he will be convicted of multiple felonies. I don’t know if there’s ever going to be a perp walk, but I don’t think it’s a fantasy either. There’s a good chance that Trump will end up with a felony conviction. I know he has cut deals in civil cases, but that’s just writing checks. To reiterate, I do not believe that Trump will plead out. This all goes so much to the core of Trump’s identity that he will try to tear the country apart before he settles one of these criminal cases.
— George Conway, of counsel at Wachtell and co-founder of the anti-Trump group the Lincoln Project, in a wide-ranging interview with Salon, where he speaks quite frankly about the rocky legal road that waits ahead for Donald Trump. “What keeps me up at night is the violence that Trump could potentially cause. The danger of violence will increase as the 2024 election approaches,” he added. “What gives me hope is that the legal reckoning is coming.”
