I would dearly love to see Trump convicted of a crime and imprisoned, provided both the charges and process were just.
But Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg campaigned on a platform of targeting a particular individual for prosecution for some crime, any crime, elect me and I'll find the crime, which is an egregious abuse of the rule of law.
(Why are conservatives convinced all the criminal indictments against Trump are politically motivated? Because some so clearly are - that is, the NY ones from Bragg and NY Attorney General Leticia James.)
At best he seems to have bootstrapped misdemeanor charges into felonies, a prosecutorial tactic I loathe and find illegitimate, especially when, as here, it's based on the allegation of a crime that never has to be proved. So how can I remain principled of I agree to the legitimacy just because I loathe the suspect?
And if the claim here is correct, then the alleged federal crime didn't occur, and the bootstrapping should fail.
Problem is, it's passed the statute of limitation
