That is an unfortunate possibility. At the same time, if Trump is indicted, prosecuted, and convicted, he would definitely appeal it up to the Supreme Court. I'm sure that qualified people at DOJ are aware of that.

I will say that the DC Circuit is widely recognized as the "second-highest," with the USSC being highest. It tends to handle for constitutional issues, and administrative law.

I also recognize the points made elsewhere on this discussion.
