You charge him, if he’s found guilty he sits in a cell instead of going back to his private life. In an ideal world, that decision only affects Trump. However practically, that decision affect many. The potential of riots, violence, and further fracturing of the nation is not worth it just to put him in a cell instead of at Mar a Lago. However, when it becomes a situation where the former president (allegedly) committed crimes, and is now trying to hold the office of President again, they’re obligated to charge him for what he did last time before he potentially holds office again. So yes it is political, but not political in the sense that they’re “going after him to keep him out of office so that the Democrats can win.” They weighed the decision off bringing him to justice vs the negatives of doing so before he decided to run and decided it’s not worth it. However when he decided to run he forced their hand.

So yes it’s political, but not in the way that most people who say “it’s all political” imply.

Garland know election interference suits R very weak

Aug 28, 2023, 8:12 PM [ in reply to While Trump should face charges, if he was not going ]

The argument that Trump would not have been indicted, had Trump NOT announced his candidacy, because the Garland (at Biden’s behest) did not want to further divide the country is patently false.

If Trump had been indicted before he announced his candidacy, then claims of politically motivated prosecution would have been rendered moot. Trump supporters would not have liked it, but politically motivated prosecution for election interference purposes could not have been claimed.

Here is why Garland waited so long: He’s got very little chance of getting a conviction that will stand up on appeal.

First Dershowitz, and more recentlyJulian Epstein (former chief counsel for the Democrat party in the House Judiciary Committee), say that the Federal J6 and State of GA election interference indictments are very weak. 12th Amendment is not so categorically clear that it would represent criminal action for a political candidate to challenge an election &/or submit an alternative slate of electors. Dershowitz and Epstein both called doing so in the way that Trump had asked as being ‘weird’ … but not criminal.

Then, there is the strong odor of both indictments being politically motivated. Again, if ‘justice for all’ was the objective, then waiting a long time to indict until Trump had announced simply reeks of political motivation. Whether or not all of the media buzz that Trump would be left alone if he promised to not run suggests that the indictments are entirely motivated by political factors.

Garland’s and the establishment politicians’ hopes are now that they wear out Trump, constrain his ability to conduct a campaign, and then get beaten in the Republican primary.
