Opinion by George T. Conway III: A federal judge said Trump probably committed a crime. The DOJ can’t ignore that.
for a unanimous Supreme Court a century ago, the language is “broad enough” to cover not only financial frauds, but also “any conspiracy for the purpose of impairing, obstructing, or defeating the lawful function of any department of government.”For Eastman and Trump, the question boils down to state of mind: whether they acted “corruptly” under the obstruction law, or with the requisite “deceit” or dishonesty under the conspiracy law. And that’s where Carter’s recitation of the facts comes in.
Trump was told, again and again, by “numerous credible sources,” that “there was no evidence of election fraud,” Carter noted. The Department of Homeland Security’s cybersecurity agency said so. An internal Trump campaign memo said so. Trump’s own attorney general, William P. Barr, told Trump as well. So did other Justice Department officials. The vice president told Trump there was no basis not to count the electoral votes.

Judge's 'felony' statement changes little for TrumpDespite the fervent hopes of Trump's critics, the statement by a federal judge that Trump 'more likely than not' committed a felony, is unlikely to materially increase the chances of an indictment.
