That's utter garbage. Juries acquit people when the cases are weak and defendents have the same rights they always have had probably more.

Prosecutors don't go to trial unless they have a solid case especially against a former pres.

I very rarely see prosecutors drop cases before trial. There's not much incentive for them to drop a case as only a tiny percent of cases go to trial (most are plea deals). It's often worth rolling the dice for the prosecution.
