Episode notes
Rule Of Law Versus Political Theater
- The Trump Manhattan trial highlights tension between rule of law and politics in a highly partisan venue.
- A fair jury and proper legal restraint matter more than political satisfaction in heated prosecutions.

- The case rests on morally clear wrongdoing but legally uncertain charges tied to campaign law theories.
- Bundling charges to elevate severity risks creating a legal overreach and weakens legitimacy.

- Evaluate evidence and law distinctly and avoid collapsing moral condemnation into criminal expectations.
