Allegedly. And let’s just say that was true. It’s now an irrelevancy. Because the question is not what happened historically.
The question is: which option is preferable for the Dims, now?
(1) Try to beat him in a fair electoral battle OR
(2) try to destroy him in via legal system for no good cause and with no valid basis?
You were doing ok until you got to option two.
(2) try to destroy him in via legal system for no good cause and with no valid basis?
You throw out a false premise here.
It is false to say that if Trump is ultimately "destroyed" by the legal system it will be for "no good cause and for no valid basis."
There are some pretty serious charges coming at Trump from several different angles.
*Fraud and tax evasion in The Southern District of New York
*Election tampering in Georgia
*Inciting an insurrection on Jan. 6th 2020
*Conspiracy to defraud The United States in the fake elector scheme of 2020
*Espionage
*Obstruction of justice
And I've probably even left a few off of here.
But as you can see, Trump makes his OWN troubles.
It is just the nature of who he is.
He's an amoral, unethical, fairly dim-witted, incompetent grifter who has never believed the laws should apply to him.
All of his life he's been able to just buy his way out of the trouble he causes but now....this time he's at the end of the proverbial rope....and he's thrashing around madly.
He cannot buy his way out of ANY of the legal threats now facing him.
It is uncharted water for him and for the first time in his life he doesn't know what to do.
So if the "legal system" winds up "destroying" him it will just mean that justice has finally caught up with him.
That's all.
It's not some conspiracy to "get him."
He's just got to stop breaking laws.
