This trial is the worst of the bunch in that respect. Multiple prosecutors declined to charge and they kept trying until they found someone willing to pull the trigger.
I think the 'no victims but the state brought the case anyway, and the alleged victims testified on Trump's behalf' "business fraud" case takes the case on that front, personally.
Although I'll give you the 'his lawyer paid someone, and we say that should have been a campaign finance payment, when we've literally charged people for campaign finance fraud for doing what we're saying he should have done' case is also...REALLY FUCKING BAD.
Seriously, think about it in those terms. The GOVERNMENT is claiming President Trump should have PAID A PORNSTAR hush money with CAMPAIGN FUNDS...and is trying to fuck him over for not doing that. I believe they fined OBAMA for not doing what they're now trying to destroy Trump for.
"Joke" doesn't even begin to describe it.
Also, I have no clue about why I'm formatting it like this, but I'm just going to roll with it. Some is ITALICS, some is caps, deal with it.
That one mainly serves to demonstrate how transparently perfunctory justice in NY can be. They declared him guilty before the trial started.
