“As we think about the very real possibility of a Trump II administration, the consequences for the rule of law should be foremost in our mind. As he promises retribution against his enemies through the courts, should we believe him? Yes. Trump will be able to use prosecutorial and investigative power to go after his political opponents. While frivolous charges will not lead to convictions, they will have significant harassment value. More ominously, they will further degrade norms of professionalism on which the rule of law depends. Trump has long used the threat of criminal prosecution as a political cudgel.” (10/03/24)
