Lawyers say there’s no downside to Joaquín Guzmán Loera’s fighting the government’s drug-trafficking charges, but how he might do that is a more complex matter.Money has no value to Joaquín Guzmán Loera at the moment.
There is no down side to going to trial.
Presumed innocent is better than found guilty.

The Upshot
Pressure From Trump May Delay a Factory’s Exit, but It Won’t Stop It
The president has pressured companies to keep jobs in the United States. Though it may seem to be working, it is an illusion and might undermine manufacturing."But bad economics can be good politics. We may see some spectacular short-run effects, even if Mr. Trump undermines the long-run competitiveness of America’s factories. The political upside will be obvious in the monthly employment numbers, while the economic downside will be difficult to disentangle from the decades-long trend of declining factory jobs. Yet we shouldn’t be deluded. C.E.O.s will ultimately move jobs abroad if that’s what it takes to churn out profits."
