Contributing sentiments towards policy:

40% : Legal analysts do not anticipate the other three cases moving forward now that Trump is returning to the White House.
33% : Could Trump Be Retried After His Second Term?McAuliffe said the more likely barrier is "the fact the defendant will soon be the sitting president.
29% : Trump, who won the 2024 election in a major upset last week, was found guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in May.
29% : ""That fact will almost surely prevent or delay any further criminal proceedings until Trump again is no longer president," he said.
28% : "A sitting president can't be prosecuted, and the statute of limitations may have run by the time Trump is out of office," Rahmani said.
24% : Knowing that the Supreme Court's June decision on presidential immunity will be the basis for any upcoming decision, this will not likely prevent Trump from being tried on the charges again.
13% : Could Trump be tried again if it's tossed?Judge Juan Merchan, overseeing Trump's criminal case in New York, was expected to decide whether to uphold the conviction in light of the Supreme Court's immunity decision.
9% : And could Trump stand trial for the charges again if Merchan dismisses the current case entirely?Would There Be a Double Jeopardy Problem?Former federal prosecutor and elected state attorney Michael McAuliffe told Newsweek that technically, Trump could be retried without implicating the double jeopardy clause since the statute would only be used if the conviction were overturned because of serious government misconduct.
