Turley: The Trump Trial in Manhattan is an Indictment of the NY Legal System

It's almost unbelievable how little vocal Dems on the intertubes understand about this case...which doesn't keep them from passionately denouncing the bad Orange Man, and declaring him obviously guilty...
Trump, for all his many faults, is far less dangerous than the contemporary blue team.
Beria is no longer with us--but "show me the man and I'll show you the crime" could well be one of their many mottos.
Disagree with the blue team, and you risk "cancellation"--i.e. psychotic public campaigns of lies and character assassination--more-or-less at best. If that doesn't work: lawfare. As Turley points out:

After an absurd $450 million decision courtesy of Attorney General Letitia James, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg will bring his equally controversial criminal prosecution over hush money paid to a former porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election.
Lawyers have been scouring the civil and criminal codes for any basis to sue or prosecute Trump before the upcoming 2024 election. This week will highlight the damage done to New York’s legal system because of this unhinged crusade. They’ve charged him with everything short of ripping a label off a mattress.
Just a few weeks ago, another judge imposed a roughly half billion dollar penalty in a case without a single victim who lost a single cent on loans with Trump. (Indeed, bank officials testified they wanted more business with the Trump organization).
Now Bragg is bringing a case that has taken years to develop and millions of dollars in litigation cost for all parties. That is all over a crime from before the 2016 election that is a misdemeanor under state law that had already expired under the statute of limitations.
