'He is in serious jeopardy': Legal expert warns Trump his back is against the wall

Raw Story  

Should Donald Trump fail a second time to be re-elected he faces the very real possibility of jail time and massive financial penalties due to the sheer volume of criminal cases and civil lawsuits that are on hold until after the election. That is the opinion of Syracuse University law professor Greg Germain who explained in an interview with Newsweek that the former president's only path to get out from under the federal cases he now faces is to beat Vice President Kamala Harris in less than two weeks and then push the Department of Justice to drop the cases filed against him. Speaking with Newsweek's Sean O'Driscoll, Germain pointed to the stolen government documents case filed by special counsel Jack Smith that Trump-appointed Judge Aileen Cannon has dismissed, with her ruling currently under appeal. "If Trump loses the election, he is in serious jeopardy in the federal criminal cases, especially the documents case if Judge Cannon's dismissal under the appointments clause is reversed, or corrected by the Justice Department, following the appeal," he explained. As the report notes, beyond the case playing out in Cannon's courtroom, he still faces a trial in Judge Tanya Chutkan's Washington, D.C. courtroom related to his attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election as well as election fraud charges in Georgia.
