The crime was record keeping fraud, something Trump has infamously and quite publicly done his whole adult life.

  Well then, I’d say it’s good it finally caught up to him! Being well known for committing crimes and getting away with it doesn’t seem like a good thing.

    Of course it's probably not a good thing. The question is which is worse, almost everyone getting away with it until/unless they have political enemies, or most everyone equally pretty much getting away with it. I'm comparing bad to worse, not good to bad. I'm saying in this case it's worse, even though everyone getting prosecuted may be better.

      Of course it’s a political prosecution for Alvin Bragg. But Trump ought to be prosecuted. He tried to overturn the election. Jail is appropriate. If you can’t get him on the actual crime, getting him on a related crime when everyone in America knows in their bones he’s guilty as sin is justice. Like getting Al Capone on tax crime. Justice isn’t about everything being 100% rule following at all times, it’s about crimes being punished.

This is a pretty commonly prosecuted crime.
