Donald Trump says he won’t quit the 2024 presidential race even if he’s charged with a crime. Indeed, we get how the man and his faithful would wear legal jeopardy as a badge of honor — supposed proof that the left, in Trump’s words, has “weaponized justice in our country.” Of course, those words are actually an apt description of what Trump himself did as president, not of attempts to hold him to account for various and sundry offenses.
We haven’t seen the evidence and generally prefer to wait until the professionals gather what they gather and put forward a bill of particulars before judging the strength of a case, but we sure hope none of the prosecutors considering filing charges is the least bit intimidated by the big man’s swagger.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg must follow the facts and the law in determining whether or not to seek an indictment for Trump’s payment of hush money to women with whom he had affairs.
