Why do people bring up the prenup thing?

Schadenfreude. The thought that a multi-billionaire might face some kind of consequences, even if they remain a multi-billionaire.

It already is. Bloomberg is reporting that NVIDIA’s top lawyer pulled strings in the Trump administration to muzzle an investigation into the chip exports. More rich people looking out for other rich people, ignoring their own rules when it’s inconvenient.

The silver lining is that Jason Huang reportedly has no prenup with his wife, so if she divorces him for cheating she’ll take half of his $155B fortune. It’s the only substantial punishment that anyone in this story is likely to receive. Everyone else will be pardoned or quietly moved out of harm’s way.

can no longer assume ICE agents are telling the truth in their arrest paperwork

I’m amazed this was an acting assumption in the first place. I know trial lawyers on both the defense and prosecution sides, and everyone always assumes the cops are lying either directly or by omission. The question is only how, and whether it is detrimental or beneficial to one’s position in the case.

DOJ never expected to win. That isn’t the point. This is political theater to froth up the MAGA crowd. The DOJ cooked up a bogus claim that received high-profile news coverage and serious consideration by SCOTUS, lending it an air of legitimacy. Trump or his right-wing talking heads can now point to it and say “See? California and the crooked courts refused to stop those ineligible voters from casting ballots! The system is clearly rigged by the deep state!” etc. etc.
