Jeffrey Toobin Says Jan. 6 Case Against Trump Is Toast: ‘Will Never Be Tried’

‘It’s a big, big victory for Donald Trump’

EXCERPT:

TOOBIN: “Well, it's a big, big victory for Donald Trump. It means that the January 6 case, the case before Judge Chutkan in the District of Columbia is, at a minimum, delayed until after the election but I think will never be tried. Because if you look at how Chief Justice Roberts framed the issue, he said that all official conduct is not only off-limits for prosecution but there can't even be any evidence presented about official conduct. And the definition of official conduct is so broad that it seems to eat up the entire indictment in my view of - in the January 6 case. So I think either Judge Chutkan or an appeals court or the Supreme Court will wind up dismissing the January 6 case because it involves official conduct.”
