C before D. Many, myself included, thought it was [C]rash before [D]eclass. Some thought it was Coats before Declass. Now I'm thinking it's Conviction before Declass. If everything happening to Trump can and will happen to them because of the precedent they are setting ("Think Mirror," and "Boomerang"), then it makes perfect sense that once the precedent has been set, the game can finally unfold.

This trial will be appealed, but it has to happen so that this precedent can be set and the public accepts that former Presidents can be sued and held liable for things they did both before and after their time in office.
