I am re-posting my (updated) comment to your earlier op-ed "Condemning political persecution and judicial corruption" because the same principles apply to ALL of his indictments, not just the recent 34 he was convicted of. Keywords: "JURY" and "EVIDENCE".
Again, trump was indicted not by Biden, not by the Justice Department, not even by Alvin Bragg (or Fani Willis or Jack Smith-a trump appointee, by the way), but by a grand JURY that was presented with EVIDENCE. Every word spoken and every piece of evidence presented at that trial was made (and still is) publicly available at the end of each day of the trial, so you can see for yourself that the prosecution presented 20 witnesses, 19 of whom backed up Michael Cohen’s testimony, as well as email, checks, recordings of phone calls and a piece of paper that literally laid out the payback plan in detail.
The defense offered a phone chart and 2 witnesses, one of whom was immediately impeached on cross-examination. In other words, the jury had no choice but to convict because of EVIDENCE of guilt, and basically nothing offered by the defense to rebut it.
Not to mention, if Biden controls the Justice Department, why was his own son convicted of a Federal crime and why has Biden said he won't interfere with a pardon or anything else?
Meanwhile, trump, after watching them for three hours before telling them "we love you", has promised to pardon every single January 6 rioter, police assaulter, trespasser, vandalizer, official proceeding interferer, and feces smearer who were not only convicted by juries and evidence, but whose crimes were witnessed by the entire world as they occurred.
Maybe, unlike me, you haven't seen every episode of the original Law & Order 17 times, but I still find it astonishing that you seem to have absolutely no idea how the American system of justice works.
