Full Extracted Text
Complete text extracted from the document (642 characters)
Legal experts believe that the Mueller team might well prevail in lower courts with a much less certain outcome in the Supreme Court.
Were the case to reach the Supreme Court after the November election, it might well be the results of that election that help seal the President's fate not just in Congress but also in the courts.
"Might such an expansive claim win, yes. Should it win, no." But everyone knows the reality: weak presidents lose cases, strong presidents win them," said Ken Starr, the former independent prosecutor who might know more about the legal pursuit of the president than anyone else on earth.
