Of course both sides of politics have their own spin on the court case and resulting conviction, and of course neither tell you the full truth. Because, like so often is the case, this isn’t a simple black and white, yes or no, this or that situation.

That Trump did the crime is not in doubt. The jury, all vetted by the defence, were unanimous. One juror said their only source of news was Truth Social, so that is meaningful. Few, if any, conservatives are saying that Trump did not do the crime. Few, if any, are suggesting that the encounter with Stormy Daniels didn’t happen, even though it is a he said, she said situation. That is because it is so befitting the character of Trump.

What is at issue, the division is around whether this should have gone to court at all.

Republicans – it was a witch-hunt, the crime was trivial, the judge and prosecutors were motivated by politics, and Biden was ultimately behind it all.
Democrats – nobody is above the law, the crime was not trivial, it was an attempt to illegally affect the election

Guess what? Both sides are totally correct, except for Biden being involved.

Trump has been a shady, shifty character his entire life, and once he became president in 2016, he was on the radar of many prosecutors. Republican prosecutors of course were no interesting in pursuing anything, which means the remainder are Democrats. Democrats who found him so detestable, and such a compulsive liar, that they wanted to take him down. The problem of course is having politics in the US legal system – other countries avoid such craziness.

Trump is clearly guilty in all the cases he is facing. The lesson here is that if you want to be a politician, and stay out of legal trouble, don’t let your crimes be so blatant and public. For example, we literally saw the case of the boxes in Mar-A-Lago, Florida, unfold in the media, and he is clearly guilty. He said the boxes weren’t there, but they were. There is a phone call where he asks for more votes… The plot to overturn the election.
