Alright, cards on the table, I'm not a conservative. I'm just curious.

I imagine this really doesn't change anything for those of you who were already planning to vote for Trump, is that accurate?

I peaked over at reddits conservative... And this verdict has not only not dissuaded them... But has emboldened them. This "proves" we are in a Banana Republic and that the system is against trump

So we have:

  • if he did something, special counsel would find something
  • if he did something, he would be impeached
  • if he did something, he would be charged with a crime
  • if he did something, he would be tried
  • if he did something, he would be convicted
  • well, those things happened, but it is a banana republic

Keep in mind that there are 3 more trials left. Also that Cohen already spent 3 years in jail for helping Trump commit this exact crime.

What is more likely? That almost entire world (including 12 jurors that were vetted by his defense) set against him and decided to lie and cheat to get an innocent man convicted, or that he maybe it is just him who lies and cheats?

Unfortunately, Cohen was charged federally for different crimes. Don't get me work Trump should go to jail. But, Cohen wasn't charged with the same crime.
