So do you think Trump broke no laws doing that stuff?
Because he did.
If you want the explanation on why he had a civil and not a criminal trial, refer to that "bunch of text unrelated to the question".
Sometimes I forget different people need different amounts spelled out for them. I'm sorry I skipped a step and that caused you to become confused.
Your comment proves you don't understand what's happening. At all.
Trump defamed someone. That's a civil issue. He was put on trial. On a civil trial. Because it's a civil issue. He lost. He got fined. Not sent to jail. Because it's a civil trial.

Crazy someone hasn't heard of that, or did you forget?
You literally don't know what's happening bro
Oh yeah, we're talking about the New York Trump corp trial :)
In that case, here's a nice explanation why a criminal trial wouldn't make sense and why a civil one is much better for everyone
