It's a lose lose.

If Trump wins or the case is dismissed (most likely imo) it's because it was clearly a witch hunt, given the weakness of the charges.

If Trump loses it's because it was clearly a witch hunt, given the weakness of the charges.

Considering every past (and current) president in my lifetime has committed literal war crimes and never been tried, it looks like a witch hunt regardless. Imagine spending 6+ years, including the largest and most expensive federal investigation in history trying to find something to jail Trump over; and the best they can come up with is falsifying a business record which is usually just a misdemeanor and is already past the statute of limitations. Amazing.

Maybe if Bragg focused on crime in his own state instead of Orange Man it wouldn't be such a shithole.

How can it be a witch hunt? Michael Cohen was sentenced to 3 years in prison for this same campaign finance violation.

The only reason that Trump didn't do time then is his DOJ was so partisan they didn't pursue the sitting president as out of scope.

    If Republicans and Saiditors want to have a shred of authenticity, they should admit to the necessity of the rule of law for everyone.

    That would be fine with me, but that's not what we're seeing. Trump, Biden, Obama and Bush haven't been indicted for their war crimes or the deaths of innocent civilians they ordered. Biden is on video openly admitting to a quid pro quo with Ukraine, why isn't he being impeached? Why didn't we impeach him when he distributed covid funds based on race and gender in direct violation of the civil rights act?

    Instead we're going after Trump for a clerical error. Not even a federal charge, this is coming from the DA of a state he doesn't even live in.

    That's why it looks like a witch hunt. Every past president (including Trump) is a criminal and their crimes are far more egregious that falsifying business records. If you want to indict them all for their war crimes I'm all for it. Instead we seem to be spending an immense amount of time, money, and resources on the only POTUS in my lifetime who didn't involve us in a war.

      If someone tells you commit murder and you do you're still a murderer and it's still a crime.

      Because you misunderstood the video.

      It turns out america doesn't accept is war crimes. So within the US legal system, these are crimes. And because the rules of law should apply to everyone, that includes against Trump.

      It's especially important, because among the crimes he likes to do is instigate an insurgency, so he needs to be taken off the street for the safety of the country.

      It sucks for his secret service security detail though. They would have to go to prison too, so that they can protect the ex president.
