When Donald Trump complains that the prosecutors, the judge, and the jury have treated him unfairly, do not believe him. I’ve been in court every day of this historic criminal trial of a former President. I spent over a decade as a criminal prosecutor in Manhattan. Let me be clear: Donald Trump received a fair trial.
Over the past six weeks, I’ve endeavored to bring you detailed analysis of the evidence and arguments at this trial. My conclusion: the prosecution presented a compelling case with strong witnesses corroborated by documentary evidence. The defense had no competing theory of the case, nor did it effectively raise reasonable doubt. As a result, I correctly predicted that the jury would return a guilty verdict on @TheBeatWithAri on Tuesday and I correctly predicted that the jury’s verdict would be returned no later than this Friday on @KatiePhang’s YouTube special yesterday.
The bottom line is that Donald Trump lost fair and square. He lost because the prosecutors outlawyered the defense team and, more importantly, he lost because he is guilty.
