The precedents of these laws existed long before this case, it is just moronic right wingers only care about them now their cult figure is involved.

A slippery slope of finding the guilty guilty, honestly

I don’t disagree with him being found guilty. He did what he did. I don’t have a horse in the race.
It’s a disgrace but would continue, if not worse under sunak and trump
There are important points here about the medias self interest creating disasters for a misled public.
Trump isn't inflicted on the world without the apprentice, does johnson as mayor and then pm happen without HIGNFY? Does brexit happen with the BBC constantly making a racist like farage relevant?

For many years this case, involving alleged bookkeeping issues in recording payments to ‘Stormy Daniels’ to buy her silence, had lingered unprosecuted for so long that the charges, low-level misdemeanors, no longer could be brought because time had expired.
But then along came Alvin Bragg, a Left-wing prosecutor who ran for office on the promise that he would do what prior prosecutors had failed to do, to get Donald Trump. The case was politically motivated from the start. To get Trump at all costs to try to stop his presidential campaign.
Yet to get the case to court, Bragg had to turn the charges into felonies, with longer time limits. So he invented a novel and untested legal theory, maligned even by liberal legal commentators, that the bookkeeping issues were to illegally influence an election – his own 2016 winning election.
There is nothing illegal about paying money to buy silence. It happens every day in court cases and business deals, where money is paid for non-disclosure agreements. And there is nothing illegal about politicians hiding their dirty laundry, happens every campaign. The bookkeeping issue was the hook to turn lawful political activity into a crime.
This case born in politics then turned into a circus. The trial judge, whose family had strong political ties to Democrats, issued ruling after ruling hamstringing Trump’s defense. The prosecution was allowed to play hide and seek with its legal theory of criminality, so much so that Trump never really knew what he was defending until the very end.
Then the judge issued jury instructions that seemed to fly in the face of our jurisprudence, by allowing the jury convict on felony charges without unanimous agreement as to what were the specific illegal acts to influence the election.
If you insist on charging a former president and clear front-runner in a presidential election, then you better be sure those charges are clear, concise, and legitimate. This was certainly not the case here. The jury was drawn from one of the most heavily Democrat jurisdictions in the country. So the likelihood of Trump prevailing always was slim.
A politically motivated prosecution by Democrat prosecutors presided over by a politically connected Democrat judge in a politically Democrat jurisdiction against the likely Republican presidential nominee in an election year. It smells rotten because it was rotten. The whole thing stinks.

Hot take
The thing that stinks is your jizz stained single socks below your trump poster.
Your fat, racist, corrupt, dumb cult leader lost, and the world will be a better place if he keeps losing until the glorious day that he dies
Good day sir

And here I thought I just needed to check my coffee for peyote, because I must have hallucinated what I read in that post.
Play nice.

Didn't take him long to start pushing the Billy Joel narrative, did it?
Of course, we all know he's full of it on that front because there's no way he's the guy on the last track of that album, and that track is a monster.
Left wing conspiracies, political witch-hunts, 5G, election fraud, space lasers. Below is a list of possibilities that Trump-loving morons haven't considered:
- The man who is on tape describing how he sexually assaults women actually sexually assaults women
- The man who presided over one of the worst covid responses in the world and tanked their economy actually lost an election
- The man who has openly talked about wanting to bang his own daughter actually wants to bang his own daughter.
- A man who has had to pay out hundreds of millions in relation to property fraud, sexual assault cases and sham universities might actually be a fraud
- A man who clearly has the intellect and emotional intelligence of a 12 year old might actually be stupid
- A man who has just been found guilty of 34 felonies might actually just be guilty of 34 felonies
