Ex-Prosecutor Reveals The 1 Legal Move That Makes Jail 'Much More Likely' For Trump
HuffPost
Andrew Weissmann warns the former president of a big downside to his sentencing delay.
Former federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann on Sunday warned Donald Trump that he might want to hold off on celebrating a legal move last week that at first glance might seem to favor the former president.

Weissmann said that one shift could change things.
“Sentencing Donald Trump after the election, if he loses, makes it much more likely that you can think about sending him to jail,” he told MSNBC’s Jen Psaki.
At that point, he said, the former president would simply be “citizen Trump” and “not a candidate.”
