Wow even Mitt Romney thinks this is a political witch hunt. You Democrats know you fucked up when you lose Mitt Romney.
Marjorie Taylor Greene and George Santos showed up at the courthouse to support Trump. I have not see reports of any other members of Congress being there.
We most certainly do not agree this was a political stunt. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Cohen went to prison for this, and Trump is the one who ordered him to do it. NOT looking to hold Trump accountable would have been a politically motivated decision.
Unless you're here to say that we should, as a general rule, only hold the hired help accountable for committing crimes and not the actual politicians who ordered them to do it. I HIGHLY doubt there are any other situations that don't involve one of your preferred candidates/politicians where you would expect that outcome.
But this really was a best case scenario for Trump. There's nothing new here, it's easy to spin rhetorically and there are some obvious legal defense routes.
