That's a bullshit analysis. The guy is saying "Let the voters be the judge" when prosecution for trying to overthrow the government should be decided in the courtroom, not in the ballot. 

 

Depends. Can Trump stall things past the point of the natural timelines of justice, or is it likely that something like this would otherwise take years to actually be heard (and appeals exhausted)?. That's probably key here. He can be president and still be convicted. Unsure to what extent he can pardon himself on this one given it's effectively an acknowledgement of guilt. 

The scramble to urgently push through with hearings (and getting it knocked back) probably feeds into the narrative he's creating - they're going after me because I can win again and they don't want that. Him being a victim of the swamp will matter more to his idiot voting base then whether he's actually guilty of the thing he supposedly did. TBH the Democrats and any Never-Trumpers need to be careful they don't end up legitimising him. It's pretty clearly not just going to go away.
