The obvious irony here is, if pursuing Trump criminally is being done for political gain it's myopic as hell.
We've seen for years how this sort of stuff just becomes fodder for his rabid base and galvanizes them more than it hurts Trump.
Isn't that an interesting thing? So, why do your people keep doing this crap? If you want him to go away, shouldn't you just ignore him?
I don't know. We'll see what he's actually charged with.
Functionally, based on what charges have been rumored, the public good served by charging him seems fairly limited and these sorts of trials are expensive as hell to adjudicate. If Trump was actually plowing political contributions into his personal piggy bank to buy the silence of his mistresses, then yeah I can see some merit in pursuing it, but even assuming he was that dumb most of those types of charges would be fed charges and this is a state accusation so where does that leave the AG? Is this case even winnable?
To the extent it's political, it's bad strategy. I don't think it's a net win politically; it's at best a wash so why expend the time and money with what ultimately ends up being an expensive and ineffectual distraction from important issues?
Civ, in NYC, this case is completely winnable! Now, on appeal, it will be overturned.
More importantly, the Pandora's box has been opened and I hope like hell it runs as many Dems as possible, into the ground. Those people all supported the unjustified impeachments; so, it's time to fight fire with fire!! BTW, that's exactly why this is going to backfire on the Dems! More importantly, this is ultimately going to bring down our country. I believe it's the beginning of the end…
On the illegal or criminal immigrants…
