    So the government never is incorrect or goes after people for political reasons?

      No other former president has even one criminal indictment.

      There’s a reason why politicians typically resign when faced with even a single criminal indictment: they are too distracted by their legal problems to devote the time necessary to do the work of the people.

      But somehow this guy who can’t even remember who the current president is will not be distracted by 91 criminal indictments? GTFOH

          If it were one state, or one federal case, sure. Here’s the thing: he’s being prosecuted in multiple states, and in multiple federal courts for multiple different things. Generally, if you were trying to make a “kangaroo court” argument like Navalny had, then why go through all this rigmarole? If the government is so out to get Trump, why let him walk free and campaign and host rallies? Why wait 3 years to get the ball rolling on most of these cases? Why even bother coming up with plausible arguments and presenting them before a jury?

            Why cant it be more than one state and the federal government?

            Why wait 3 years to get the ball rolling on most of these cases?

            Yes, exactly! Why wait until the middle of the campaign for president? Because the point of the case is so that he is damaged in running. Many people from jan 6th have already literally being tried, gone to prison, and are already out for a year before they even got a mugshot of trump.

                  Wrong answer because clearly you’re a “NPC” in Trump’s videogame, and you’re one that doesn’t even have interactions or any discernible lines.

                    I am not even going to be voting for trump, so your comment is invalid.
