A lot of people want to avoid a potential impeachment trial.
Here are some tips to help you keep yourself safe and get out of trouble: 1.
Don’t take any legal action.
If you are a former prosecutor, you are more likely to be impeached than a prosecutor.
This is because former prosecutors have a better chance of proving they were in the right place at the right time.
2.
Be cautious when making phone calls.
If a former attorney wants to speak with you, don’t be intimidated by their call.
If they want to talk about your criminal case, it’s a different story.

If your former attorney gets a subpoena, don´t answer it.
This subpoena has a very high likelihood of getting sent to you.
You might be called before the grand jury, which could result in a conviction.

If there is a court hearing, don�t attend it.
