98% conviction rate. That's for all cases in general and not just the ones where the accused is on tape talking about the fact that he did the thing that's in question.

It's also not for cases where the accused is an immensely-wealthy former POTUS. I'll be shocked if he suffers any substantial punishment.

I'll be shocked if they even manage to assemble a jury, for that matter. Pretty much everyone in the country either loves him with religious fervor or despises him and everything he stands for.
