Why Should Anyone Care if Trump Is Convicted?

Should it matter if Trump is convicted in any one of the radical left's sham trials against him? According to ABC News' George Stephanopoulos, it should. He brought the issue up while interviewing Gov. Chris Sununu (R-N.H.), and asked if he'd still support Trump if that did happen.

Sununu, who used to be a key surrogate of Nikki Haley, didn't answer the question very well. So, I'll answer it: Absolutely.

Now, let me tell you why.

After Trump left office, we saw a coordinated effort by George Soros-funded district attorneys to abuse the legal system by going after Trump. District attorneys like Alvin Brag and Fani Willis and attorneys general like Letitia James literally campaigned on the promise of getting Trump. For what? Well, you just had to elect them so they could find something.

We also know that these prosecutors have coordinated with the Biden Justice Department in their efforts. And speaking of the Biden Justice Department, they went after Trump, too, using the full power of the federal government in the hopes of convicting Trump and making him ineligible to serve as president of the United States. We have partisan prosecutors in partisan jurisdictions who will ultimately get partisan juries to achieve a predetermined guilty verdict. What's happening here is not justice.

Democrats made it clear from the beginning of Trump's presidential ambitions that they were (and still are) afraid of him. Heck, the Hillary Clinton campaign created the phony Russian collusion narrative that the Obama administration used as a pretext to literally spy on his campaign. 

How afraid of Trump were they?

Isn't it obvious? Well before Donald Trump served a day as president, unhinged Democrats resolved to impeach him, and the media was openly speculating about it. For example, Politico raised the question of Trump's potential impeachment as early as April 2016. Other articles followed, like “The Case for Donald Trump’s Impeachability” in the Intelligencer a month before Trump took office.

It wasn't even a secret that Democrats were plotting Trump's impeachment before inauguration day. On December 15, 2016, Vanity Fair revealed to the world “Democrats Are Paving the Way to Impeach Donald Trump,”

The most famous example came when the Washington Post reported less than 20 minutes after Trump's inauguration that the campaign to impeach him had already begun. And, of course, they ultimately did. Not because of any legitimate reason, but because they wanted to, their donors wanted them to, and they wanted to stop him from being able to be president again. However, their efforts to impeach him failed to achieve a conviction, and the current efforts to convict him of various bogus charges are just a continuation of the impeachment movement against him. It was clear after he left office that Trump was plotting a return to the White House, and, as polls show, it's looking very likely that he will win.

Hence the lawfare.

So, no, why should I care if any of these carefully plotted partisan prosecution succeed? They'll only serve as proof that our legal system is broken.
