Please don't perpetuate this myth. He was tried, and found guilty, for falsifying business records to cover up payments that he made for purposes that many of his voters would find objectionable in order to hide that objectionable information from those voters to prevent them from making an informed decision and affecting an election.

Election interference and Fraud.

He is a literal, convicted, fraud.

It's really no different than saying Clinton got impeached for a blowjob.

He wasn't, it was perjury. Though I'd say that election interference is a bit more severe than lying about a beej.

No, both damaged institutions are fundamental to our government. Fuck them both.

Bush Jr should have been convicted for mass murder. Obama should have been convicted for drone strikes.

I’m not disagreeing with you, but at least those awful actions are plausibly covered as a presidential act made in the country’s interests. I’m not saying they were good for the US, just that they could argue that was the process.

Trump’s shit is all self-serving and against the interests of the United States.

Trump increased drone strikes 432%, so same there.

I agree, but apparently presidents are immune from prosecution for anything done in office. I really hope that can get overturned, but it's the current state of the law.

Yeah, we know. That has no bearing on this case.

Trump and Clinton raped women. Probably not the only presidents.

Edit: I'm not talking about Lewinsky. See my comment below.

Linkerbaan is a shill. Look at their posts. The terrorists in the Kremlin pay them to get Trump elected.

I don't think they're a shill: they're probably just an idiot.

Only a terminally online liberal could look at someone criticizing a justice system that serves the rich rather than the protection of basic human rights (especifically saying that Trump has worse things to get convicted for) and think: "Hmm, yes, this is a Russian shill, lest I even take into consideration that they might actually have a good point".

That's a very long way of saying "Hush money to a porn star".

Its not even as though Trump didn't commit additional financial crimes while in office. He took money from the Saudis for state secrets. He traded insider information to his son-in-law for fundraising money. He staffed his departments with hedge fund insiders as a quid pro quo for personal financial favors. And that's before we get to the illegal use of military force or the illegal direction of federal money for his pet border projects or the illegal arrest and unconstitutional prosecution of migrants and dissidents or the J6 shit.

91 fucking indictments. One trial. For the hooker hush money.

Say what you will about kickbacks to Stormy Daniels, but its the least lethal policy on the Trump docket. And that's a real window into the soul of America. Rounding up and incarcerating people without trial is fine. Bombing foreigners is fine. Marching a high-on-their-own-supply fascist mob through Congress is fine. Just don't get caught slipping your mistress a tenner to keep her mouth shut during an election season.
