A legal earthquake of massive proportions hit Lower Manhattan this afternoon. Up to now, while many have carefully referred to the “alleged” charges against the former president,In the face of considerable threats to this trial and, by extension, the rule of law, this trial proceeded affording the accused all the protections of due process. Because of that, and the outcome, perhaps the real winner here is that fundamental principal of the American legal system: that no one is above the law.
The political ramifications of this decision are yet to be seen, and while we have not reached the beginning of the end for Mr. Trump, perhaps, as Winston Churchill once said in the early days of WWII, we have reached the end of the beginning. Thus, perhaps the most important outcome of this trial is not the verdict, which Trump immediately called a “disgrace” after it was delivered. It is that the system worked. Judge Merchan served admirably, in the face of threats and intimidation from the defendant and his supporters, and bent over backwards to protect Mr. Trump’s due process rights.
The attorneys at the District Attorney’s office who tried the case also faced threats and intimidation and did their job in the face of such threats. Even Mr. Trump’s defense attorneys behaved admirably, and I think we will learn that some of their possibly questionable tactical decisions were carried at the behest of their client.
