No, you take a plea often times to avoid bankruptcy. Many people rely on a public pretender... err, defender, who gets paid by the case so they want it over asap to get paid. They often don't have their client's best interests in mind. They will often quit a case where the defendant insists on a trial rather than a plea deal because they know they'll lose money on it.
Civil suits are a bit different. Those are ALL about costs. FOX took the deal because it was cheaper than the alternatives. It's that simple.
Trump won't deal. He has a history of grinding his opponents down. I would expect him to go to the mat, and make things as expensive as he can for the prosecution. The prosecution will be under pressure from their management and budget people to make a crappy deal and get out of the case.
The feds are even less likely to want a trial than state prosecutors. One trial that is grossly expensive, and one loss and your career as a US attorney is over and done. The prosecution won't want that in the least. I'd say prosecutors in the Trump case were pressured from politics above to even push the case. It's really a loser for them if they don't succeed.
What do you mean No? That is exactly why most people take pleas. Cops tell them if they take it to a jury, the penalties will be much worse. Trump will be discussing pleas. He has already had lawyers talking to prosecutors begging for a deal.

Trump is a crappy criminal. He does things in public and defies you to stop him. So the FBI took the dare. Trump will have to plea for mercy or tell his followers to throw the country over and crown him king of America. Some will do it.
If that's your only hope, you got real problems. Any more excuses for trumps criminal actions?
your desperate attempt to shade with trump is noted and I acknowledge your defeat about the DOJs criminality.
Everyone who indicts the Donald is a thug, not just the US Justice Dept, but the states of NY and GA as well. Its very special to have not done anything wrong in his lifetime, a true saint he is.

Do you have any evidence of that or are you just talking out of your ass as usual.

Do you understand a 90% success rate? Sure a few cases may be lost, but those are odds you never bet against.
Trump isn't a criminal, Nordbutt.Trump is a crappy criminal.

A Not Guilty plea is not a plea for mercy, Nordbutt.Trump will have to plea for mercy
No crown, Nordbutt. No king.or tell his followers to throw the country over and crown him king of America.
Hey! Mark this post!
Trump better get himself a stash of Soap-on-a-ropes while he is still a free man!
Once was too damn many times. You diehard Trumpys are a bit of a joke.
You take a plea when you are offered a deal that has lower penalties than the jury might assign. That is why Fox settled the billion and half suit. They were sure the jury would grant more money. They escaped with 800 million.
Trump will take a deal to stay out of jail. He knows what crimes he has committed. But he may not get a deal that does that. The feds have a lock on the cases. Trump crimed in public and in front of witnesses. The Feds would be happy to have Trump face a jury. The Feds would present eyewitnesses , people involved who turned on Trump, tapes and phone calls and videos of Trump in the act and tons of evidence.
What is fantastic is that the bulk of defenses Trump wants to present in court will require him testify or those defenses cannot be put forth by his lawyer.
All the talk of 'what Trump believed', and that he was 'only following certain lawyers guidance' (Kraken, Rudy and Eastman) and he 'believed them and not the other lawyers' (Barr, Cipollone. etc) can only be presented if Trump takes the stand and establishes that is what he believed.
And since Trump will never take the stand many of the main defenses he will want to use will be denied them.
Trump is extremely arrogant and thinks he is smarter than anyone else. He may decide he can straighten the judges and cases out.
