You are 100% wrong. This is about politics in our justice system and the uneven application of the law.

Did the trial already happen?

The law is pointless if the selected few are held to a different standard than everyone else. We fought a Civil War over it.

For it to be uneven there should be other people who have acted in the same manner as Trump but not indicted.

His attempts to make this larger than what it is are completely self-serving. He did what he is accused & he will have to defend those actions in court. No one wants to see this country in this situation, but also cannot sit back and allow a President to attempt to overthrow an election. These aren’t democrats lining up to testify against Trump, but Republicans, many of which served in his administration.

The guy catfished a disgruntled 30% of the American public & continues to fleece them for money.

Like Maxine Waters?

https://www.cnn.com/2021/04/19/politics/...index.html

"We’re looking for a guilty verdict and we’re looking to see if all of the talk that took place and has been taking place after they saw what happened to George Floyd. If nothing does not happen, then we know that we got to not only stay in the street, but we have got to fight for justice,” she added.

Asked what protesters should do if there is no guilty verdict, Waters said protests should continue.

“We got to stay on the street. And we’ve got to get more active, we’ve got to get more confrontational. We’ve got to make sure that they know that we mean business,” she said."

RE: New charges brought against Trump. Four counts.
During the election, all the attention will be on the Trump trials 24/7. New things will come out and every GOP candidate and politician will be asked to defend them. Biden's record won't even come up.

Biden will then drop $100M in ads in key states reminding independents why they hate Trump.

Trump will spend all his money on legal fees taking away from turnout operations, campaign pre-challenges, and very few ads.

Impeach!
Indict!
Big scary words that mean "to charge or accuse".

His mother impeached that he hadn't washed his hands before dinner; included in the indictment were a dry bar of soap and a dry towel.

My hope is Trump winning in 2024 and taking a baseball bat to the knees and skull of the Democrats.

He is not being prosecuted for his call for protests. He is being prosecuted for the organized scheme to overthrow the election… the fake electors, “the Green Bay Sweep”, his attempts to delay the certification…

Again, he is being charged with…
…conspiracy to defraud the United States;
…conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding;
…obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding;
conspiracy against rights.

His words at the eclipse are not mentioned in the indictment.

This is about the DC power structure and a rogue outsider that dared enter the fray.

“He did what he is accused of and will have to defend those actions in court”

You have it way backwards. The prosecution will have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that there was true intent in those actions.

The constitution set these checks and balances for a reason regarding electors and how the process works. He was never going to “overturn” anything. He lost in court and his supporters went too far in protest - which is nothing new in this country.

Yet his words are what they are using to bring those charges. Maxine's words could have been construed as inciting a riot yet she was not charged not do I feel she should have been. The charges are weak just as the previous ones have been and I am one that wishes Trump would not run.
