I see.
The giant Democratic conspiracy machine gathered together a crooked judge, a crooked prosecutor, 12...count them, 12 crooked jurors to get Trump.
Even more diabolical, they found a crooked defense lawyer to wheedle his way into the Trump camp so he could voir dire those 12...count them, 12 crooked jurors onto the jury.
I'm sure the Jewish Space Laser and Hugo Chavez were somehow involved, but I'll leave it to you to fill in those gaps.
If you consider having a political bias, preference for one side of the political poles, that would at least subconsciously influence and affect which way one might operate and "vote" in this charade, then I guess they would be "crooked" by your definitions/delusions.
ANALYSIS: Trumpâs NY Criminal Trial Exposes Role of âWeaponizedâ DAs, Says Legal Expert

....
Yet a prosecution conceived and led by avowed political enemies of the GOPâs 2024 front-runner may well prove a double-edged sword, as it presents to millions of voters the reality of a âweaponizedâ district attorney with serious political ambitions of his own.
Thatâs the view of Harvey Kushner, chair of the criminal justice department at Long Island University in Brookville, New York, who sees the efforts of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg to bring down President Trump as the culmination of a process underway for decades, in which a role traditionally associated with ostensibly objective law enforcement grows increasingly partisan.
âThis has now come to a head, because what youâre seeing play out now is well within the political sphere in terms of its impact on a campaign of a candidate for president,â Mr. Kushner told The Epoch Times.

During and since the March 25 hearing at which Judge Juan Merchan set the April 15 start date, Trumpâs defense team has argued that it needed more time to review the voluminous documents related to the âhush moneyâ allegations at the heart of the case.
...
âTeam Trump felt that they were getting slow-rolled, as roughly 100,000 documents were turned over very late in the game by federal prosecutors. The documents should have been turned over sooner, but they werenât. Therefore, calling for a delay was a very practical move to make,â Mr. Leitner said.
Mr. Leitner saw far-reaching consequences to Judge Merchanâs decision on April 2 to expand the gag order imposed on President Trump, which disallows his commenting publicly on the proceedings.
In Mr. Leitnerâs view, it is no coincidence that the expanded gag order bars President Trump from commenting on the judgeâs daughter, Loren Merchan, who happens to be the head of Authentic Campaigns, a powerful Democrat-leaning political consultancy in Chicago.
âJudge Merchan has not only not delayed the trial, he has imposed a gag order against Trump so he wouldnât make statements about potential witnesses, court staff, and counsel that could have an impact on the outcome,â Mr. Leitner said.
âThe Trump-hating judge even took it a step further, saying Trump couldnât comment on family members, all while knowing his daughter works for a pro-Democrat firm that has supported Team Biden in the past. Talk about putting a thumb on the scale,â he added.

So you pay a fee to someone to be quiet and not generate bad publicity about you, and/or to avoid the more expensive civil law suit, and turns out that could be crime, especially if there are persons in government legal positions that don't like you and want to "weaponize" the legal system to do you harm.
A bogus "crime" but the sort of shenanigans commonly done by the fascist Left/DemocRATs.
