Trump claims his trials are "political."

But he's been in legal trouble for decades for cheating contractors, running a scam university, & housing discrimination.

He's not being tried because he's running for office. If anything, he's running for office to escape his trials.

Trump has ensnared the whole GOP in support of his lies. He always finds a cudgel with which to beat his enemies. But who are the monied interests supporting and advocating for them both? Your article suggests a few answers.

@rbreich I feel like the crime of election manipulation - you know, the one he was convicted of - is a political one. Commit political crimes, and expect no political backlash? I just can't stand how much all of the media accepts rightwing framing of issues and functions as Trump's personal propaganda engine

@rbreich A crime that was done before he became president is not a political crime, it’s just a crime.
