Trump lawyer John Lauro responded to the indictment news by admitting the crimes that Trump is charged with.
EDIT: Removed comment as requested.
they’re doing their best to cause as much chaos as possible, yeah… that’s all they’ve got… like comic book villains throwing babies out windows so Spidey can’t end their reign of terror…
It’s the right play politically. Consider if the roles were reversed.
If Bernie Sanders was arrested for breaking into Walmart headquarters and demanding they unionize, he’d absolutely say something like “It’s not about breaking the law, it’s about standing up for the millions of Americans who are struggling to make ends meet while the Walton family continues to amass wealth. That’s what this is about. It’s not about me, it’s about us.”
His supporters believe in his cause and they’d absolutely eat that up. I can understand why people support unionization and don’t really get why people are so into thuggish authoritarian rule - but if that’s what gets you up in the morning, then seeing Trump admit to this is surely exciting.
i won’t consider your idiocy… and i get it, you empathize with comic book villains…
Consider if the roles were reversed.
i won’t consider any of that, because it’s completely divorced from reality
I think you have your head in the sand.
In a rational world this would completely shatter his chances for any presidential nomination from a major party (or probably the first indictment would)
However, there are a good number of people who believe so firmly in trump that they’ll view this in exactly the same light as a left wing leader being arrested at a civil rights protest or admitting they smoked weed. To them this is a feather in his cap, it burnishes his credentials as being anti-establishment and proves whatever batshit conspiracy theories he’s spouting.
I think democrats are too quick to overlook that risk and I think that’s dangerous.

son, your head is inside a bucket of crabs, riding a Tilt-o-Whirl
