    The judges in Trump’s various cases have to walk a fine line between justice being served and accusations of being politically aggressive against a high profile defendant.

    Accusations which could derail the case and do even more damage to trust in the judiciary and the overall rule of law.

      accusations of being politically aggressive against a high profile defendant

      Republicans already launch those accusations regardless of whether or not they have merit. Worrying about what Republicans are going to say is a losing game.
