I don't disagree with you that Trump has bended the law here and there to win. I agree with you. Can't comment on Ken Paxton, don't know enough.I know it's sort of cool for the people who WANT a dictator here in the US to refer to any other leader as a dictator, but nah. Again, Jack Smith has a pretty consistent reputation of non-partisan application of the law. Trump has essentially bragged about crimes in the open, he just never thought this Country would actually make a sincere attempt to hold him accountable, because we usually do let the wealthy slide with lots of things. These are just egregious acts on his part and it's going to be fashionable for conservatives to deflect.
Ken Paxton is a Trump stooge who actively tried to help overturn the 2020 election. He was just impeached as Texas AG. He alleges he did nothing and this was all political, its f*ckin Texas and he was ousted BY Republicans against Trump's wishes. He's been under Federal Investigation for a while himself, ironically there isnt a ton of crying about this around here. The two lawyers working against him are some of the best Texas has ever had. One of them made a statement and said "whatever you think you know of why this is happening, you're going to find out its ten times worse."
These blatant cheats dont need to be compared to anyone to look guilty.
I just think Biden and Hillary were equally shady and this looks a bit like political persecution.
And maybe Biden's team think they have a real case. But the fact that Trump is pulling close and they might not have an election now, well it looks Stalinesque.
I also want to see RFK vs. Desantis. Bad blood and untrust between the biden/trump camps. We need someone to be more of a moderate and unifier, RFK could do that.
