The Free Press spoke with several voters from across the country whose opinions were significantly impacted by the guilty verdict in the New York trial against former President Trump.

Shaun Maguire, a Los Angeles-based venture capitalist and a former Hillary Clinton campaign donor, declared on social media that he donated $300,000 to the Trump campaign within an hour of the verdict, and wrote in an essay that "the double standards and lawfare that Trump has faced" "boiled my blood."

He told The Free Press, "We were told that Donald Trump would be the end of democracy, but it turns out that lawfare tactics have been escalated by the Democrats and not by the Republicans. And so it’s from that backdrop that I believe the Republican Party is less of a danger to democracy than the Democratic Party right now."



The backlash pending a conviction was predicted well in advance.  The only question was the depth and breadth of it.

Based on early reports, it's turning into a clash between voters and the Swamp.

The Swamp crossed the line and the voters are waking up to the evil they represent.
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world;
the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

They have difficulty understanding the distinction between "The United States of America" and "The US Government."

even if they were "illigal" means, the statute of limitations on those charges already expired...


So if you commit a crime and they don't catch you in time, it was never a bad thing?   What a low bar you hold your future leaders to.

Tell me you don't know much about the legal system and how evidence works without saying you don't know much about the legal system and how evidence works.

Do you even know the purpose behind the statute of limitations concept?

Also, do you not accept the allegations that we have a two-tiered justice system?

The other half of America can still think for themselves.  Thank goodness for that.

Too bad this half doesn't have control of the media to make sure information is fair and accurate.

Trump has a history of falsifying business records. It was bound to catch up to him eventually. His mistake in this instance was falsifying business records to commit election fraud. Given the recent rape cases and civil fraud cases he lost, he is displaying a pattern of criminal behavior that harms millions of people. Definitely he is a threat to the people of this country.

I don't actually doubt that he falsified business records but it is a misdemeanor and the statute of limitations has long since expired. Doing gymnastics to connect a federal crime to a state crime and then a  covid regulation to extend the statute just so he can be charged right during election season is a bad use of the justice system even if technically possible.

Clinton and Obama also got fined for very similar campaign finance violations BTW. Should republicans have pushed to charge them during election season?
