Finally. Found this, a sober version of the Trump case. Basically it was a weak case with dubious motivation ... but Trump's defense was ludicrously bad and resulted in his conviction. So it's not the slam dunk for justice and the rule of law the Dems are claiming, nor is it the total kangaroo court sham Trump is claiming. Somewhere in the muddy middle:

Level 7

Facts: he used money earmarked for something else by law to try to hush up his moral lapse. Period.
His defense was "ludicrously bad" because he/his lawyers had nothing to say, the Facts spoke for themselves.

Do people even read the articles before commenting? I'm beginning to think they don't.

@Druvius dear, dear, @druvius...I have real the actual charges as filed, which I cannot help but feel is a tad more accurate than an op-ed piece.

Knowing Trump's character, it is most likely he has committed far worse crimes.

Yes, the other three cases pending against him are far more serious.

Level 8

I skimmed through it but nowhere did it explain how this was a crime punishable with 3.5 years when Cohen did it but not when Trump did.

Level 9

Wrongly convicted? He broke the law and he got caught. Trump arranged to have hush money sent to a woman he claims he had no involvement with. Is that strange? It is only the beginning in this case.

No, he wasn't wrongfully convicted. Did you even read the article?

Is any criticism better than any other?

I will wait for the appeal court to rule.

Yes, there's definitely grounds for appeal. Considering how badly his lawyers botched his defense, I doubt their appeal will go much better.
