Yet no one cared to "investigate" it until he was running for POTUS the second time?
The understanding that Trump has been a life long con who constantly flouted the law is not new news.
The belief - yet that begs the question - if everyone always held this belief - why wasn't it investigated before his first term?
It was. He was involved in over 4000 legal cases between 1973 and 2016. Notable suits include federal housing discrimination, defrauding students, employment discrimination, and sexual harassment.
The Court denied the motion. Though it should be noted that Alito was one of the four justices who voted in favor of blocking the sentencing.
Why wasn't this crime investigated earlier? It was unknown until first hints of it were reported in April 2018 (the existence of the payments by Cohen to Daniel). Cohen was charged for it and other crimes in Aug 2018. Cohen testified about the scheme in Feb 2019. At the time Trump was president. After he left office and the election of a new Manhattan DA in Spring 2021 that office began investigating the publically reported apparent crime. A grand jury met in Jan. 2023 and issued an indictment in March 2023.
We were talking about the fraud specifically - was he convicted of any of these other things and were they felonies?It was. He was involved in over 4000 legal cases between 1973 and 2016. Notable suits include federal housing discrimination, defrauding students, employment discrimination, and sexual harassment.

That's what the wikipedia article about the case says. (Of course the FBI/DOJ knew about it 3 years earlier and charged Michael Cohen for it then.)
Does it claim that though?
Either way, then how is it a problem? You were claiming they waited until he started running to investigate them. This is clearly false.
Yes, I'm sure some people had the integrity not to vote for someone convicted of 34 felonies.
Sad that it took so long?In an order, Merchan wrote that it is ordered "that Defendant appear for sentencing following conviction on January 10, 2025, at 9:30 in the morning, at the Courthouse located at 100 Centre Street in New York County." Merchan said that Trump could appear in person or virtually.

How sad.
The decision of the American people was he was guilty of 34 felonies. I didn't think that the judge would give him any jail time but I did think that he would fine him.
That sounds just like the ploy Republicans used to keep Joe Biden from being reelected. The difference is Republicans found nothing to charge Biden for but refused to drop their hearings because they wanted to adversely effect his campaign.
The fact there was an unconditional discharge proves this was not a serious case but was in fact a political hit job. The only victory here for the left is the ability to TEMPORARILY and gleefully use the phrase convicted felon. This injustice will be reversed on appeal.
