Evidence, that has yet to be refuted.
5 to 7 solid witnesses and co-conspirators.
Unimpeachable corroboration.
Proving criminal intent/state of mind?
And if one of the measurables is surviving appeal.

Not impossible, but offa! That's one helluva slog. And as Jar noted a few days ago, juries are a different animal altogether. So if you win, he's a martyr and more powerful than ever. If you lose he beat the system that done him dirty and he's more powerful than ever.

Aside from the criminal "stuff" I hope someone is keeping an eye on the political implications of all this. I think they are. I hope they are.

- DOJ will require overwhelming and compelling evidence to indict a former President. - conorlarkin - 8:45am 7/27/22
  - That's a real problem when there is no evidence. [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 11:30am 7/27/22
  - Correct. Which is why nothing will come if this. - Stark Raving Dad - 9:54am 7/27/22
    - If the courtroom evidence to convict exists, there is a bigger cost to not charging Trump. - conorlarkin - 10:26am 7/27/22
      - Agree. And what you just described is a pretty high bar to obtain a conviction. - Stark Raving Dad - 10:39am 7/27/22
        The charging decision requires a very high bar, knowing the nation will be dragged through it. - conorlarkin - 10:59am 7/27/22
        Agree with everything you said. - Stark Raving Dad - 12:30pm 7/27/22
        
        Yet you dragged the nation through your primetime, one-sided circus. [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 11:32am 7/27/22
        He's typical lace curtain irish, putting on a facade - ColeyO - 3:07pm 7/27/22
        He is an utter hypocrite who lives in a bubble and defends criminals while condemning accused. [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 4:06pm 7/27/22
        
        Folks here give Connor a lot of crap. But I think of all the liberal contributors... - Stark Raving Dad - 12:38pm 7/27/22

        He certainly kicks with his left foot as the Irish say. [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 1:18pm 7/27/22
    - Not so sure about the "highly paid" description of the defense team. - Iggle - 9:59am 7/27/22
      - Perhaps. But it could be the case of a lifetime. Someone will step up. - Stark Raving Dad - 10:19am 7/27/22
        Bingo! And trial lawyers are consummate narcissists looking for public approval. [NT] - Curly1918 - 11:44am 7/27/22
- Glad we got today's Trump post out of the way. [NT] - Cole - 8:44am 7/27/22
  - I agree. I look forward to focusing on issues rather than his personality impairment. [NT] - Curly1918 - 9:04am 7/27/22
    - Curly, you're the one who focusses on his personality. You feed the beast and then complain about it - Cole - 9:08am 7/27/22
      - His personality is the reason he became President and it enflames the other side AND independents! - Curly1918 - 9:10am 7/27/22
  - This won’t be the only one, trust me. The usual suspect will be here shortly to add to the drama. - TampaIrish - 8:50am 7/27/22
    - Anything to distract attention from their dementia-addled President. [NT] [LINK] - Cole - 9:00am 7/27/22
      - Biden is far worse than Trump... but will be gone very soon. - Curly1918 - 9:14am 7/27/22
        Biden is worst then Trump? This is where you lost your d**n mind! [NT] - Quest4twelve - 10:03am 7/27/22
        Oh come on, have some common sense. [NT] - THEISMANCARR - 12:00pm 7/27/22
        
        I agreed with most of Trump's policies and virtually none of Biden's handlers. - Curly1918 - 10:26am 7/27/22
        
        You're not wrong here Curls but replacing him can be much worse. You really think world leader will - TampaIrish - 9:19am 7/27/22
        We are going to have to cross our fingers the next couple years no matter what. - Curly1918 - 9:27am 7/27/22
- Because he didn’t do anything wrong. [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 8:30am 7/27/22
  - But he grabbed the steering wheel. There is even pictures of him going all Jason Bourne on - TampaIrish - 8:34am 7/27/22
