Most people don't have the evidence of a social media post from the President demanding the AG prosecute them no matter what. Trump has effectively already confessed in that post that it would be malicious prosecution even before anyone has been charged. This is the very definition of a slam dunk case. IMO.

In reality, I don't think they'll be prosecuted. Even Bondi is smart enough to know she can't win and I'm sure she doesn't want to lose her law license (even though she should lose it anyway for other things she's done as AG). If Bondi thought she could win, they would have been charged 6 months ago.
