stickyShift , to Politics in People Are Lying To You About The Trump Indictment

I probably did a poor job of summarizing, as I’m not a lawyer; here’s the key quote from the article:

That doesn’t mean that it will be easy for the Special Counsel to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Donald Trump had the requisite mental state to violate the law. It means that his actions plausibly violate the law.

My point was that contrary to the previous commenter’s implication that anyone telling you to watch out for lies is just going to feed you their own propaganda, this article is fairly objective.

I think in this case it’s a pretty fair post - tl;dr: the blogger doesn’t offer a view on whether or not Trump broke the law, only that his actions could plausibly be illegal based on the sections of the constitution used to prosecute him, and that it’s not an obvious win for the prosecutors as it depends on the state of mind that led to the actions.
