It's not the fact its baseless, its the context around it. That's what's crazy. Your irrationality comes from the fact, you are trying to ignore the context around it. Braggs is case is being criticized heavily from the LEFT and the RIGHT. It is unprecedented and to most of the world similar with banana republics and like reeks of a setup. You got the New York Post, the New York Times, The Rolling Stone, ABC, Fortune, Slate, The Hill, NBC, National Review, Daily Beast, Politico and more saying this is a bad idea. Don't you wonder why people more familiar with politics who are democrats AND republicans than you think that is ? So you make America look horrible in the face of - your allies in the elite political circles - your allies internationally - your core base All the while selling Trump on his ultimate brand as the "Rebel", of which he sells T-shirts off. You cannot ignore the context around all of this, which weakens America significantly in already trying time as countries around the world are dropping the reserve currency USD and also belief in American Ideals.

Well, I’m not going to apologize for my belief that the rule of law should be based on the facts, the evidence, and the law and not politics. Your appeal to the authorities of political figures falls on deaf ears for me. I do not give a single flying shit about the political calculus. That’s what makes it a banana republic decision. Nothing about the decision to charge or not charge should be based on politics. So, fuck the Democrats, fuck the Republicans, and fuck Politico. I don’t give a shit about any of their opinions. Frankly, the appeal to people who know more “about politics” on this topic is anathema to me. Show me the charges, show me the evidence, and show me the law. Everything else is for the birds.

What I understand from your take is that Trump shouldn't be indicted because that's a bad view for America. Like... What? Rule of law is completely not considered, at all, Trump should be above the law because he's just too big of a popular figure. That's simply absurd to read.
