I agree with you. Entirely.
And that is exactly the issue with the ruling.
Trump is just the person enduring this. The real issue is the degradation and corruption of our legal system. The real issue is political persecution. The real issue is people not understanding the implications of all of that. Trust was at absolute minimum eroded in the one piece of society that is crucial to have faith in for The Republic to function.
It is an unprecedented trial and outcome that when framed against history raises all manner of alarm bells.
So I do agree with you. And that’s exactly why this entire situation is incredibly troubling.
