The GOP would have you believe that paying hush money to cover up discreditable activity that could have an impact on the outcome of an election is not a big deal, so the indictment makes Trump a political martyr, not a criminal. Well, when Richard Nixon did it, wasn’t it considered a big deal, even by many Republicans?
Changing times, changing standards. As I’ve noted before, Nixon would have survived Watergate if Fox News had been in his corner.
If this case goes to trial, I’m sure Trump will insist on testifying in his defense. Cross-examination should be fun.
