I don’t see it that way. I think Democrats are purposely raising Trump’s profile so that he becomes the nominee in 2024 so that he may lose again to Biden. Recall that DeSantis was leading Trump in the last poll prior to his indictment.
As a life-long fiscal conservative I supported Trump, but no longer do. Our party doesn't need his divisiveness and his continuing confrontational style. It's likely that if re-elected he probably wouldn't do something harmful to the country! However, "probably" isn't good enough. A new term for Trump would not be in the best interest of our country. I support Nikki Haley.
That said, Eli Lake is absolutely correct. Trump has been attacked falsely since even before the 2016 election. When the primary objective becomes, "get Trump, at any cost," it is the anthesis of what we claim America stands for. Trump is not "above" the law, but he is also entitled to equal treatment under the law! And, in many instanances he hasn't received that. Prosecutor Bragg has politicized the process!
Based on undeniable evidence, everyone is now talking freely about the legal system a la Bragg, FBI CIA, Justice Department, IRS having been weaponized for political purposes by the DNC/Soros and a complete lack of control over the integrity of voting procedures as if this is some political cycle that will fade away one day. Unless the vast majority takes an active stand and utterly discredits this Far Left Movement instead of simply looking the other way or just chatting about this scary revolution that is happening in real time before the 2024 election, we will lose our Republic. Sure, it sounds good to have equality of results in our lives, but this is not sustainable or achievable without Marxism.
its too bad we couldnt get this far with biden (hunter case) and hillary clinton oh but wait they are protected as dems. Agree with Raziel - team doesn't matter RNC/DNC. the political environment country is sadly an embarrassment. I have more respect for overt corruption in say africa or s america here its dirty and hidden
I'm sorry Eli; it is yet to be proven that the 2020 election WAS NOT stolen. I'm old; and I have worked a lot of local elections in 2 states. It's disingenuous to suggest with certainty that Trump 'falsely' claimed the election was stolen. Pennsylvania, particularly Philadelphia, made election fraud an art form before most of us were born.
Trump wasn't my first choice in 2016; but the chaos and persecution that followed his 2016 election is a national disgrace.
The article by Eli Lake you published about Alvin Bragg's shameful attempt to smear Trump with NO CRIME and NO CASE during a presidential showed an obvious lack of integrity on the part of The Free Press. You also referred readers to another hit piece on Trump by Harry Litman in the LA Times that concludes Trump "has nothing but contempt for the rule of law." This is truly rich when polls show that the majority of Americans believe the Justice system has been weaponized by the DNC and Soros. Now that the indictment has finally been unsealed, perhaps The Free Press can take another shot at nonpartisan journalism. The only crime revealed in the indictment was a state level misdemeanor wherein the statute of limitations expired long ago and the time frame was 2017 when Trump was president - NOT during the campaign as alleged by the indictment. Eli Lake uses misleading and empty language like a novice or hack when he states "Trump's complicity in the events of January 6 is APPARENT and shameful" and "...the DOCUMENTED fraud was perpetrated to conceal a violation of campaign law" and "Trump justifies his own FLOUTING OF RULES because he says the system is rigged against him." The Free Press is better than this.
Other presidents have paid “hush money”. Public knowledge. I’m pretty sure CLINTON did. So why wasn’t he brought up on felony ch? Because this is the disgraceful filthy dirty political game that Democrats play. I don’t care if you don’t like Trump, but this hypocrisy is just pathetic and wrong. I hope it blows up in Bragg’s face. I’m sick of this. And I personally do not believe Trump was “complicit” in the January 6th incident. It was a bunch of rogue people amongst thousands of peaceful people who were there AND the Capital Police are definitely complicit in what occurred.
Help out us election skeptics who think Trump was robbed: Tell us why corporate IP is even a smidgen of consideration in audits of voting machines & software.
Tell us why the here was proprietary software on voting machines in the first place.
And with mail-in voting why do we have 24/7 unsupervised drop boxes?
"Many of Trump’s supporters have for years thought that he’s the victim of a series of witch hunts and this prosecution is just the latest in a series of injustices. That is not entirely true."
Really? These pricks have been screwing with DJT since he announced his 2016 run. That's about eight years. So, please, stop trying to straddle the fence, Eli.
Progressives stopped caring about things like facts and truth a long time ago. They are not helpful to their whims and jihads.

Dennis Prager's column this past week is chilling: https://dennisprager.com/column/could-it-happen-here-it-is-happening-here/

His lawyers will work it down to a misdemeanor or less and they will have wasted a lot of time and tax dollars for nothing but political posturing.

Unfortunately, it isn’t better than this.
If everyone’s lying, then, why bother. Let’s just go to a cave, cover our heads and completely disengage.
No one is above the law on the left or right.
Eli, no one knows what the future holds but yesterday was a good indication the elites are nervous and they should be.
