What if the indictments and the investigations were not, as Trump insists, political attacks but, instead, a valid response to Trump’s actions?
It’s an argument that holds enormous sway with Trump’s base of support and the broader right-wing media bubble that surrounds it. It is also an obvious extension of Trump’s long-standing rejection of any criticism, any investigation into him or his family. With Trump’s conviction on 34 felony counts in Manhattan Criminal Court on Thursday, though, it would behoove Trump supporters and Republicans more broadly to consider an alternative view of that outcome and the other indictments Trump faces: They are a function not of some indirect effort to damage him politically but, instead, of the criminal justice system responding to violations of the law.
It would be beneficial to America if more Trump supporters entertained the idea that maybe he actually did something wrong.
Ah yes, the magical 34 again. 34 charges because he made one payment in 34 installments and every installment was a separate charge. Even Democrats saw that as a farce. But you know better.
