[거사 주]: 트럼프는 완전히 비리 덩어리다. 주변에서 걸리지 않은 게 없는데도, 아직도 공화당내에서 떵떵거리는 꼴을 보면 미국도 정치적으로 양분되어 서로 으르렁 거리고 있다. 정의나 도덕적인 문제가 아니고, 이념적인 이질의 문제이기에 그 심각성이 위험수위에 이른다. 비리 대통령에 대한 단죄는 한국에서는 이골이 나있다고 미국 언론인들은 얘기하지만, 미국에서는 대통령을 유죄 판결하여 옥살이를 하게한 전례가 없기에, 1.6 폭동의 최종 핵심 주모 연루 조사와 이번 트럼프의 비밀문서 유출에 따른 법무부의 행보가 주목된다.

Multiple legal experts are weighing in with their take on the chances of former President Donald Trump being indicted following the Federal Bureau of Investigations' (FBI) recent search of his Mar-a-Lago property.
According to a new report published by Business Insider, "people who have been close to his inner circle told Insider that they think he could be in serious legal trouble. In addition to reputable law firms' apprehension about representing the former president amid his mounting legal woes, there are other reasons why law firms are reportedly hesitant to work with Trump and his team.
"One lawyer familiar with the Trump team's thought process said in an interview that the ex-president 'likes to run the show' and is a 'big believer in the public relations assault,' but that he could soon face criminal charges," the news outlet also reported.
Although Trump typically appears to be unphased by the investigative probes, the lawyer insisted that he should be concerned about the mounting legal woes.
"He should be worried about all these investigations," the lawyer added. "I think he's a target of all of them and I think he'll get indicted."
While Trump is facing several federal and state investigations, the U.S. Department of Justice's inquiry is the case currently at the forefront as investigators work to determine if the former president violated laws by removing government documents when he departed the White House in January 2020.
Per Insider, Trump is also a focal point in the justice department's "sprawling criminal investigation into events surrounding the Capitol riot and subpoenaed a number of former top White House officials in recent weeks. Prosecutors have also subpoenaed the National Archives for all the White House records it turned over to the House select committee investigating the January 6 attack."
Trump is also facing a criminal investigation in Fulton County, Ga., but his former impeachment lawyer Alan Dershowitz has said that he is more concerned about the Trump Organization investigation being conducted by New York Attorney General Letitia James.
"Right now it's only civil, but you never know," he said. "Civil can always morph into criminal the way it did with Weisselberg." (-)
