Dumbass. They had to change the law in the first place to even be able to take him to court. They change the law, specifically to go after Trump. That in itself tells you all you need to know that this is political. THEN they had to try some convoluted law fare to turn what would be a misdemeanor into a felony. It's so GD convoluted that it should have been impossible to prove, yet a shit judge in a liberal district is willing to throw rule of law out the window to get a conviction.
If that's not enough, the only evidence they have was from a prostitute that was looking for a payout and a convicted liar that is willing to say anything to save his own ass. The DOJ came after him looking for dirt on Trump and he told his own lawyer at the time, that he had nothing. The DOJ made it clear they were going to get him or Trump, so he lies and they go after Trump.
