Trump was convicted of falsifying business records, which normally is a misdemeanor. No worse than and actually less serious than shop lifting. It only becomes felonious when fraud was also committed. The jury I think didn't agree what fraud was committed, just that there was fraud.
So it looks like the reasoning is circular... it's fraud, just because it's fraud. It's a felony, just because it's a felony.
It's often the case when the government wants to make an example.
Like resisting arrest -> why were you arrested? = for resisting arrest -> wouldn't have resisted arrest if I wasn't arrested, what was I arrested for? -> etc...
Who cares if he trying to hide hush money?
No one really cares, they are just pretending to care because they are deranged with hatred instilled in them by the propaganda they consume.
It's like Bill Clinton lying about a blow job. Who really cares?
I care 1000 times more about a public official choosing to lie rather than remain silent vs an accountant selecting "legal expense" in a dropdown menu when categorizing a payment to a lawyer which that lawyer invoiced with no itemization.
Which is to say I don't care all that much, just about relative size.
non-itemized business payments ~0.1
Clinton adultery ~ 10
Whether or not the weather is nice ~ 50
Clinton lying ~ 100
Getting a good gift for father's day ~ 200
a cops getting away with arresting someone for giving them the middle finger ~ 10,000
mandated experimental medical treatments ~ 1,000,000
violating the bill of rights to sabotage American democracy ~ 1,500,000
Stealing half the stuff from a whole nation causing ever increasing poverty, homelessness, depression, broken families, and population decline ~ 3,000,000
But I can call a witch hunt a witch hunt when I see it
When millions of people go insane, keeping your wits is commendable.
