    Reread the picture. It’s not asking, “Why is Trump guilty?” or "Did Trump commit crimes? It’s asking, “Why is Trump being prosecuted?” Too many innocent people are prosecuted for us to ignore this distinction when it regards someone we despise.

      Nope, still a load of shit in the specific case of Trump. It’s innocent until proven guilty and there’s more publicly available proof of him being 100% without a a shadow of a doubt guilty than of cheetahs being fast runners.

      Innocent people might also be prosecuted, but Trump has committed multiple crimes and that’s why he’s being prosecuted. It’s not any more complicated than that.
