12. The motivation

doesn't matter if she actually broke a law and there is evidence to support that.
This GJ is also in a very Democratic district, so I highly doubt there is any foul play going on.
None of this means she is guilty though, it's nothing more than an accusation, and there is no defense running. It's just "here is what we believe happened, and here is some evidence to back it up. Can we take it to court, yes or no?". These GJ only exist to reduce the load on the court system by filtering out shaky or bogus charges that would do nothing but waste time and money, and they are very loose, meaning they err on the side of the charges usually rather than just letting people skate. She will get her say at trial if she doesn't take a deal (she probably will), and the reason Trump pushed her being charged won't be at all relevant, only the charge and the evidence relating to it.
I would have never gotten caught if Trump didn't hate me isn't a defense, even though that is what is going on.

The indictment is actually related to a different purchase than the debunked 2023 "primary residence" accusation. pat_k Oct 9 #11

The debunked case was related to a 2023 purchase. This is related to a 2020 purchase. Nevertheless, likely bullshit. pat_k Oct 9 #8
