The lawfare is so dubious that even CNN is now crying foul and defending Trump. That’s a low point.
First and foremost, the Trump conviction is a blatant double standard. In 2016, Hillary Clinton’s campaign was fined $8,000 for violating federal campaign finance laws. Why? The Clinton machine falsely reported the funding of the infamous Steele dossier as “legal services” and “legal and compliance consulting,” although it was an attempt to smear Trump with salacious allegations that were untrue. Through the Steele dossier, Clinton’s team did indeed seek to influence the 2016 election to her benefit. (Shocker: It still failed to make her popular.)
And where was the Clinton campaign headquartered? In Brooklyn, New York, which would make the Steele dossier case fall under the jurisdiction of New York Penal Law §175.10. This is the state law that makes it a felony to falsify business records with the intent to conceal the commission of a crime.
