That's not his point, his point is you have to allow some bullshit to prevent violence against innocent people like judge's daughters. This "above all reproach" strategy by the judges and prosecutors working against trump means that when he's finally dealt a verdict there's nothing anyone can say about the people involved and the proceedings. They literally went soft as fuck on him and he still got convicted, ideally.
I'm not sure I personally believe that is the best strategy because it makes the system look weak to the people it's supposed to be trying and makes maga base look like it has Mafia like power. That's fucking silly to give them that de facto legitimatcy imo but I can see where they are coming from.
I think that nutting up and just throwing him in jail for contempt until his trials are over would be the better course. Let them maggots whine and piss and moan and throw them in jail when they protest too hard and try to bust him out of jail.
There is an entire power dynamic at play here between the "high road" people who won't "stoop to that level" getting continually fucked by the ones who break the rules and never go to jail over it. They have an entire playbook of shit Dems won't do because they know their base will still vote for them even if they are publicly shit heads, hell that's even more of a reason to vote for them to the most far right extremists.
Why don't Dems pack the courts? Why don't Dems throw him in jail for contempt? Why don't Dems move quicker in the literal treason case over selling state secrets? They need to play hardball and they won't do it. They won't get dirty and fight back.
