'I don't think he's going to get away with it': Watergate lawyer predicts Trump trial this year

Donald Trump is doing anything he can to delay the criminal trial against him, but his time will probably run out, a former Watergate prosecutor said on Saturday.

Jill Wine-Banks appeared on MSNBC on Saturday, and was asked by the host about what Trump hopes to accomplish by pursuing a fruitless appeal in a case involving the testimony of Trump's former vice president, Mike Pence, about January 6. Trump recently lost that round.

"What did he really expect to get out of that fight?" the host asked.

Wine-Banks replied, "Delay."

"I think all of the things that he does now are based on trying to delay any consequences for himself," she said. "The evidence that we've seen publicly, and I'm assuming that there's far more evidence that we haven't seen that will be shown to a jury, is very compelling. It is very incriminating."

She went as far as to say that, if Trump ever goes to trial, his only hope is a hung jury where one MAGA member refuses to convict no matter what. Barring that potential occurence, he will not be acquitted, the legal expert said.

"I guarantee you, he will never be acquitted by any jury that listens to the evidence. So everything that he does is just to put off the inevitable trial that will come. And I don't think he's going to get away with it. I think that there will be trials before the end of this year, and so before the real season of primary starts, there will be a verdict," Wine-Banks added.
