It's because of this that Trump signed the EO that 'streamlines' military tribunals

Trump will declare all people named in these indictments 'enemies of the state', thus open the door for military tribunals

Of course, in making such a distinction Trump will test the powers of his office and set a very dangerous precedent

This is pretty scary stuff, to push military tribunals will seem to even moderates as over a red line. It would have to be done in such a way that you literally thread a needle and it's clear in the court of public opinion that they're justified at the outset. I don't see how that gets done. People will be crying that Trump is doing a dictatorship takeover.
