New York Prosecutor Cyrus Vance
“Mr. Trump has contended that the investigation by the district attorney, Cyrus R. Vance Jr., a Democrat, is a politically motivated fishing expedition.

I don’t know if the prosecution will materialize or will people just forget Mr. Trump and not really care. Either way when the tax returns are finally released I’m sure the feeling will be anti-climactic especially if it happens after January 20th, 2021. The decision will then to President Elect Biden and any decision to pardon on the federal level which could set a dangerous precedent of Commanders In Chief allowed to behave badly with the expectation of immunity.
