Obviously, Trump’s premise that he is being prosecuted by Joe Biden because he is running against him is false. Trump is being prosecuted because he is a career criminal, and there is no evidence any of the prosecutors taking him to court have communicated with President Biden.
But beneath this first lie, there’s a second lie: Trump only intends to prosecute his political enemies because they did it to him first. In fact, Trump has been planning to lock up his political opponents since he first ran for office, well before any of the current prosecutions began.
If you have evidence and can prove wrongdoing in a court of law, I’m fine with prosecuting and punishing individuals of either party consistent with punishments other people get for the same crime.
The real problem is that there is evidence to prosecute Trump, and there is no evidence to prosecute any of his political enemies (Republicans included) that he supposedly wants to prosecute.
I think if you get into the “no YOUR guy is doing politicized prosecution” argument you’ve already lost. I don’t care if it’s a politician, I care whether there is evidence of a crime.
Well yeah, the criminals keep siding with him because it’s the “get away with anything” side
