If Trump were looking down the barrel of a year in jail when he leaves office, it would have increased the chance of him refusing to leave office. This is coming from someone (me) who is entirely exasperated by those who argue Ds should not take various actions because of a fear of setting a precedent or inciting Rs to take outrageous actions they will have no compunction over taking anyway because of who they are. Nevertheless, this is a man who apparently ran for the presidency to stay out of jail and to enrich himself, and a man who has already incited an insurrection so the addition of a threat of jail when out of office seems like it would just clinch the deal on him refusing to leave office in 2028.
