Since his arraignment, Donald Trump and the MAGA GOP have spread their favorite lies about the legal battles the former president is set to face. It's important to know the facts versus the fiction.
While we have stood by our belief that no one is above the law, the MAGA GOP has begun its inevitable assault on truth and justice.
---
Fiction: This case is inconsequential and a "political attack."
Fact: Under Trump's own DOJ, his co-conspirator Michael Cohen was charged with crimes in relation to the case.
---
Fiction: This case came "out of nowhere," and is an overreach of prosecutorial discretion.
Fact: This case was being reviewed until Trump's Attorney General Bill Barr stopped the Manhattan DA from pursuing it.
---
Fiction: This is a "weaponization" of the federal government and the justice system.
Fact: Donald Trump broke the law, and has potentially broken many more.

The truth should matter. The finality of the law and moral precedent should matter. But they don't for MAGA Republicans.
John, help us elect more Democrats in 2024 to avoid the disasters of the MAGA GOP.
