    It would result in a hung jury and a mistrial.

    Which would likely result in retrial, not letting trump off the hook. (It is possible the judge lets it drop? But unlikely.)

      Problem is that retrials vastly favor the defendant, because now they have the prosecutors arguments as well as the evidence and it becomes easier to tailor the defense.
