As a Canadian who keeps up on the news but has no skin in the game, from up here it does look petty when after seemingly hundreds of unsuccessful attempts to prosecute Trump, their “we got him now” case amounts to “he expensed an invoice from his lawyer to a business instead of paying it personally”.
- binkethy 2y agoTell Judge Cannon to stop slow walking the election overthrow conspiracy case. Tell the corrupt SCOTUS to stop granting a former president unconstitutional powers. Your comment defies the forceful attempts to stymie any Trump prosecution that GQP party members are performing full-time as of 2024

Both of those have already resulted in convictions of multiple Trump staffers; Trump himself has managed to delay justice in both of those more serious cases. There is a reason they got Al Capone on tax evasion, and it wasn't because that was the worst thing he did. Crime bosses are notoriously slippery.
