I don’t think it fosters good citizenship, these trials that invite the voters to nullify in their minds the conviction of prominent people for what many see as dismissible offenses. A guy pays a prostitute to keep her mouth shut? Makes the government look like a posse of petty blue noses. The clammy grip of moral reform is not a welcome sensation.

The prostitute in this case denied that it ever happened...repeatably over the years. She started to ask for money when it became clear Trump was running. It is lawful to create a NDA and pay hush money. Trump did not use campaign funds. Bragg never said what the "other" crime was until closing arguments. The statute of limitations had passed for a business expense misdemeanor mischaracterization. Why didn't the FEC, Bragg's predecessor (Cy Vance) and DOJ pass on any charges. I wish the Republican party had another candidate, but I believe the Bragg trial was totally political.
