Andrew Weissmann:特朗普的法律困境日益加剧,民事强奸案审判即将开始,佐治亚州调查也有重大进展。民事案件的标准是证据优势,而非排除合理怀疑,这使得案件结果可能无法满足所有人的期望。特朗普在案发后发表的言论加剧了诽谤指控。 Mary McCord:民事强奸案与刑事案件不同,标准更低,但案件中有多个证人将出庭作证,这将对案件结果产生重大影响。证人证词将帮助驳斥指控是捏造的说法。延迟报案在性侵犯案件中很常见,这并不意味着指控不真实。 Doug Letter:执行国会传票比执行大陪审团传票更具挑战性,因为国会没有直接强制执行的机制。言论和辩论豁免权使得对国会议员发出的传票的挑战更加复杂。Alvin Bragg主动提起诉讼可能是为了防止Mark Pomerantz拒绝作证。国会拥有调查权,可以调查州或地方检察官是否侵犯了某人的宪法权利,但此次调查可能只是政治噱头。对拒不遵守国会传票的证人进行刑事起诉,只有在新的政府上台后才有可能。
