You never answered why this obvious case wasn’t brought five years ago ? If it wasn’t strong enough to bring five years ago it wasn’t strong enough to be brought 9 months before the election, comprende?

What? Oh, that's easy - Trump was President five years ago. It's hard enough winning a case against a wealthy, lawyered-up figure without adding the wrinkle of whether a state can indict a sitting President. To answer the obvious next question, why wait so long after he left office? Because the civil proceedings against the Trump organization - resulting in two Trump Org felony convictions - in 2022 gave prosecutors more information that they were able to use to build their case, records and info that wasn't available in 2021.

Plus you are (again) wrong about the facts. The grand jury to indict Trump was convened in January of 2023 - almost two full years before the election. The indictments were issued in early April 2023 - a year before the case got to trial. The decision to start bringing the case to trial through the grand jury process was made in late 2022.

I'm not asking you to make legal arguments - just engage with them. What do you think is the strongest substantive argument against the charges? Not peripheral matters like the timing of when to bring the case or the bios of lawyers who criticize it. What do you think is the biggest defect that leads you to believe that Trump should not have been charged?
