Sometimes, the system we have works. I’m so amazed and awed by, and proud of, the New York DA’s office for having the courage to file the charges against Trump, to prosecute him thoroughly and thoughtfully and ethically and fairly, and to secure the convictions it did.
As many have said, other jurisdictions declined to pursue similar charges against Trump. And that’s their prerogative. And there’s so much that goes into the calculation of whether the prosecution of a man like Trump on charges like these is “worth” it.
Will prosecuting him be perceived by the public as persecuting him? Is it possible to convict him? If he’s not convicted, what will that do to his ego and brand and followers and the country?
I don’t pretend to know what went into the DA’s office’s decision to bring these charges and to bring a cogent, smart, efficient prosecution against Trump, but I believe it was the right—meaning, morally and ethically—thing to do. And I’m so grateful to Attorney Bragg and his staff. They make me proud to be a lawyer.
