Trusty: Trump’s Verdict Is Not a Shock Unfortunately, This Is Lawfare

‘Once you heard there was a verdict, it was pretty clear that it was probably going to be a conviction’

RUSH EXCERPT:
TRUSTY: "Well, it’s not a shock, unfortunately. I mean, this is the lawfare. It’s really at a its worst with. You had a politicized prosecutor who had a picked through the trash of a case that the Southern District of New York specifically rejected doing that his predecessor rejected doing, but he revived these misdemeanors with three inventive ways of charging them, got a Manhattan jury pool, a Manhattan jury selected and very favorable jury instructions. So by the time all of that kind of crescendoed at the end of the week, I wasn’t shocked. Once you heard there was a verdict, it was pretty clear that it was probably going to be a conviction."
