The Jury Selection Election

“We know what Trump would like to do with that power, because he’s said so out loud. He is driven by self-interest and revenge, in that order. He wants to squelch the criminal charges now pending against him, and he wants to redeploy federal prosecutors against his enemies, beginning with President Joe Biden. The important question is how much of that agenda he could actually carry out in a second term.” Short answer: A lot. And it would start with the firing of Jack Smith and replacing a jury of one’s peers with a jury of one. Barton Gellman has gotten Trump as right as any journalist.
