In an aside, McBurney made a clear reference to Trump’s effort to capitalize on his legal troubles as well: “And for some, being the subject of criminal investigation can, a la Rumpelstiltskin, be turned into golden political capital, making it seem more providential than problematic.” “Guessing at what that picture might look like before the investigative dots are connected may be a popular game for the media and blogosphere, but it is not a proper role for the courts and formal legal argumentation,” McBurney wrote.
McBurney said Trump had failed to back up those claims, which require concrete evidence. He noted that prosecutors are typically disqualified if they express a view of a defendant’s guilt or if they have a financial interest in the outcome of a case. Neither situation, he said, is present for Willis.
