Perhaps with trump will be different (because of privileges) but in criminal trials "beyond reasonable doubt" doesn't mean the person was caught red handed. The vast majority of cases are decided on circumstantial evidence.

I mean given the things we already know, which is likely small piece of what came up during the special counsel investigation, do you have any reasonable doubt this wasn't planned?

I think any normal person would be already toast with that evidence, although he does have special treatment. I mean even when he got the indictment he didn't get a mug shot, discussing bail or even surrendering his passport. Who else would be treated that way?
