@YaleLawSch @Jed_Rubenfeld "It's A Dangerous Precedent": One last look at the Trump verdict with Yale Law Professor Jed Rubenfeld
@YaleLawSch @Jed_Rubenfeld Yale Law Prof @Jed_Rubenfeld breaks down Trump's guilty verdict, raising big issues: unclear charges, selective prosecution, and a non-unanimous verdict. Targeting your political opponents this way is a dangerous precedent to set.

@YaleLawSch @Jed_Rubenfeld @realDonaldTrump @VivekGRamaswamy The remarkable part about the first-ever conviction of a former U.S. President is that the jurors were told they didn’t even have to agree on what the crime was. Beautifully explained by my friend
