Red flag raised that Trump may order evidence against him 'to be destroyed' once in office

A hefty majority of Americans (58%) said last month that they thought it would be wrong for Donald Trump to order the cases against him to be dropped, according to the USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll. But now Trump will likely escape any accountability for any of his alleged crimes, according to some experts.

Speaking to MSNBC on Thursday morning, journalist Ken Dilanian said that special counsel Jack Smith might sprint to the finish of the election subversion case in D.C., but there's no real chance of finishing the trial given that there is no trial date. Meanwhile, Trump's legal ally Mike Davis has already tweeted a warning to Smith telling him to "lawyer up," indicating that the pro-Trump staff is ready to begin their retribution campaign.

Dilanian said that he assumed that Smith would work right up until the moment he was fired, but that isn't what's happening. It was announced on Wednesday that Smith and the investigatory team are starting to "wind down" their cases against Trump.

The one barrier is that the classified documents case still sits at the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals after Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the case.

"Look, there was no guarantee that Donald Trump was going to be convicted in either of these federal cases, but what it means is that no jury of his peers will get to decide based on the evidence whether he was guilty," said the reporter.

He cautioned that there is a lot of disinformation spreading about the cases.

"There's tons of evidence supporting the charges in both of them, that Donald Trump hoarded classified information, that he allegedly obstructed evidence and things that were arguably worse than what Richard Nixon did in the scandal that cost him the presidency," said Dilanian. "But it looks like a jury is never going to hear and decide on that evidence, guys."

"He can do a lot of different things," the reporter continued, saying that the cases could simply be put on hold. "There are a lot of questions really about all these cases, including the federal cases, which is, for example, what happens to the evidence? What if Donald Trump gets into office and orders all the evidence to be destroyed? Is there a chance that any of these cases could be resumed?"
