A Manhattan jury found Donald Trump guilty of all 34 charges of falsifying business records Thursday, an unprecedented and historic verdict that makes Trump the first former president in American history to be convicted of a felony.
Trump was convicted on all counts. The evidence was overwhelming but I didn’t really think that he would be convicted. I thought that a hung jury would be a more likely outcome but the jurors showed extraordinary courage and did their duty.
Trump immediately broke out the same speech he did after he lost the election. The trial was a disgrace and was rigged. Of course, Trump again did not testify in his defense just as hE didn’t testify during the impeachments, the sexual assault trial, the defamation trial and the fraud trial. We all know why.
The United States of America continues to fight for the rule of law and to save our country from those who want to do away with our democracy. About half the country thinks that it’s OK to pay off a porn star, that it’s OK to commit fraud, that it’s OK to not pay taxes, that it’s OK to sexually assault a woman, that it’s OK to separate children from their parents and lose them, and that it’s OK to to steal top secret documents. They tried to overthrow the government when they lost an election and stormed the Capitol. The insurgency continues. The fight is not over. It is just beginning. November is coming and we must be ready!
