*Another* Trump indictment

I agree with @Axtremus on this. Voting for someone just because a person feels sorry for them does not seem to be a good way to decide who to vote for. Especially when nothing else has changed.

Don't they know they're just sending more people over to Trump?
Believe it or not, I don't think Jack Smith's motivation is driven by politics. He doesn't care if this helps or hurts the Trump campaign. He's enforcing the law. And @jon-nyc said, pragmatically, it's not a new indictment, but an updated one based on a court ruling, which makes sense.

Have you not followed Jack's career?

Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

And Jack Smith got slapped down 8-0 by SCOTUS, in which the Justices called one of the most blatant overreaches of government power. Ever.
Ok great, the check and balance is working.
System is working.

It shouldn't have to get to a slap-down, to be considered working.
You do realize the government caused the defendant a mountain of money before Smith got bitch slapped?
You're ok with that? Is that the system working? The " we don't care about what's right or wrong, as long as the government wins or bankrupts the defendant?
Really,?

Well, better than this guy.

Exactly. Just putting some perspective on what President Trump is (rightly or wrongly) going through.

What are you talking about? I care about what is right, I don't care "which side wins". Maybe this is the difference. I'd be just as happy if Trump was found not guilty of the 46 felony charges, as long as the system worked to enforce the law.

Guess what? The people engaged in lawfare would like to see him in jail, but that's not why this is happening. This is a coordinated, legal maneuver to bring political hurt.

It's taking more money than you'll make in a lifetime to mount a defense. Yes, Trump will raise money for his defense and some of that money will come out of his pocket. Money is the mother's milk of a national political campaign, just ask Scranton Joe.
-
Time. How much time has Trump spent in a courtroom or meeting lawyers, when he should be campaigning or raising money? Multiple, simultaneous court cases are a huge time sink.
-
Why were all these cases filed within a very short span? Why were they filed at the start of the campaign? Why were they filed at all?
-
Perception. The Dems desperately wanted a conviction, even if they know it will be overturned. The labels don't have to last forever, just past the second Tuesday in November.
If you value freedom from the tyranny of the courts, if you value the American concept of fair play, if you value the ability to have free and fair elections, then why can't you see this for what it is, regardless of your personal feelings about Trump?
For let me assure you, once the genie is out of the bottle, this does not end here. Successful tactics will be used in politics until they are no longer successful. And we take another step into the abyss...
