Somebody said that Trump isn't being put on trial in the middle of an election year.

Instead, Trump decided to run for president in the midst of his many criminal trials.

That's an important rephrasing that desperately needs airtime and headspace.

@courtcan I have said this many times. Running for President is HIS CHOICE. You would like to think a presidential candidate would have the ethics and morals to bow out of the race whilst devoting their energies to clearing their name before deciding to run again, but then this is Trump we are talking about…
