 Because we know that he wanted to get Trump and that he's going to sentence him to the harshest sentence he can come up with. That does not give him a political benefit. That is Trump a political benefit and does not increase the chances of reversal on appeal. It's not going to have anything to do with justice. It will have everything to do with how tough you can be on Trump without it backfiring. Is there a chance they can give him a house arrest and stop him from going to rallies and things?
