While this seems evident on its face, there's good reason to draw attention to what's happening here. This isn't just his lawyers scrambling for a defense, this is a coordinated media effort to define the narrative that's being actively pushed through the alt-right media (please use protective gear when viewing that link if you're sensitive to bullshit). They're using the indictments to claim the Dems are weaponizing government against Trump for political reasons, then conflating the charges to treason, and then further claiming that the Dems are trying to send him to the chair for sedition.

Regardless of whether or not you think that possible outcome is fair, it's important to note how it's being used as a rallying cry to further incite the alt-right base to violence, and that this is very much a manufactured narrative push supported by multiple media outlets. I'm glad Vox recognized the trend and decided to stomp on it promptly.
