Donald Trump has consistently called the Manhattan criminal case against him a “rigged” politically motivated witch hunt.

This is the part that gets me:

Lying on New York state business records is a crime, though usually charged as a misdemeanor.

Also, the statute of limitations had also expired on those charges.

But Bragg made those charges a felony, and got around the statute of limitations, by saying they were conducted with the “intent” to commit another crime, in this case, a conspiracy to help get election in 2016.

    He will.

    But I imagine it will not be resolved in time.

    It also confirms what most people on the left think about Trump, and I think to some degree it appeals to a lot of moderates and even rule of law conservatives that will now feel bad about this conviction.
