As is his habit, Trump re-creates events and situations in which he is
shown to be deficient.

After he was convicted of felonies in his hush money trial, Trump came
out with a list of wrong information, trying to spin the trial, and place
blame for the fraud on other people than himself.


The list of ways in which Trump imagines that he was persecuted, is a
list of falsehoods.

Many of the points that Trump claims as accomplishments during his presidency,
are falsehoods.

Trump claims that the judge did not allow him to present a robust defense.
This is false.

With all of Trump's massive financial resources, Trump could not come up with
a credible defense. His basic defense was "Cohen is a liar." But Trump knew
this, when he hired Cohen. Who's fault was it, that Trump hired Cohen?

Trump continues to put out slogans that he thinks are explanations that
vindicate him. But, these are empty assertions, or worse, are statements
that go directly against the public evidence.

CNN Senior Legal Analyst Describes How The Trump Conviction Was A Political Hit Job

By Elie Honig, a former federal and state prosecutor and a contributor to CAFE. And CNN senior legal analyst.

1. "The judge donated money... in plain violation of a rule prohibiting New York judges from making political donations—to a pro-Biden, anti-Trump political operation."

2. Alvin Bragg boasted on the campaign trail in an overwhelmingly Democrat county, “It is a fact that I have sued Trump over 100 times.”

3. "Most importantly, the DA’s charges against Trump push the outer boundaries of the law and due process."

4. "The charges against Trump are obscure, and nearly entirely unprecedented. In fact, no state prosecutor — in New York, or Wyoming, or anywhere — has ever charged federal election laws as a direct or predicate state crime, against anyone, for anything. None. Ever."

5. The DA inflated misdemeanors past the statute of limitations and "electroshocked them back to life" by alleging the falsification of business records was committed 'with intent to commit another crime.'

6. "Inexcusably, the DA refused to specify what those unlawful means actually were — and the judge declined to force them to pony up — until right before closing arguments. So much for the constitutional obligation to provide notice to the defendant of the accusations against him in advance of trial."

7. "In these key respects, the charges against Trump aren’t just unusual. They’re bespoke, seemingly crafted individually for the former president and nobody else."

8. "The Manhattan DA’s employees reportedly have called this the “Zombie Case” because of various legal infirmities, including its bizarre charging mechanism. But it’s better characterized as the Frankenstein Case, cobbled together with ill-fitting parts into an ugly, awkward, but more-or-less functioning contraption that just might ultimately turn on its creator."

If this was true, and his lawyers were unable to get any jurors to believe them, I'd say Trump has horrible judgment in lawyers.
