    In spirit, that strategically, the best thing is for Trump to have a defense that is competent enough to avoid a mistrial, but not competent enough to shield him from accountability in any meaningful way. This would be my preference.

      I believe that it is obvious that he has committed crimes and should be held accountable for it. However, the spirit of our justice system as enshrined in the Bill of Rights is that everyone should get a fair trial and it shouldn’t be any difference in this case. In a fair trial he would be properly held accountable for his crimes, assuming a fair trial goes both ways.

      I do understand the sentiment behind wanting him to screw up so he is actually held accountable.
