The feds didn’t “decline” it, @jedshug. On the contrary, as DA Jeff Berman has documented in “Holding the Line,” Trump got his corrupt AG Bill Barr to undercut the usually independent SDNY so it would go after Michael Cohen while sparing Individual #1, ie: Kingpin Trump! That’s why this hugely important case limps into court 8 years late. What Trump did here he’d do with DOJ everywhere if he ever becomes POTUS again. So you have this completely upside down.

Professor, cut it out. Every time Trump get's a favorable ruling, you say the Judge/Justices were wrong or biased. If a ruling goes against Trump, you say it was the correct ruling. Here, your point is that Trump wasn't charged by the Feds because Bill Barr is corrupt. It's impossible for legitimate legal opinion to fall on the same side of the political aisle every single time.
@tribelaw @gtconway3d @jedshug Very enlightening and it makes sense , Trump had some influence in New York at one time . I believe the fact this hush money case wasn’t brought in a timely fashion tells us who he was able to pressure to keep it out of court !!!
