I think we need to remember that Presidents have gotten away with a whole lot in the past. Many a blind eye before Trump came on the scene. Now that the seal has been broken, we were on course for a whole lot of these post presidency prosecutions in the future. I think the SC was sensitive to that and wanted to nip it in the bud.

I think are hedging bets that Trump is likely to win and become a dictator.
Agreed, the interesting part is that all of Trumps dirty laundry is open to the air. In the past we would have no idea about it.
