What it is all about briefly: Trials Trump faces are about scamming voters

Brief messaging to break through the media clatter:  

Three trials Trump faces are about committing crimes to fool voters.

Three of the criminal cases in which Donald Trump was charged involve attempts to fool voters to help him win elections or to overturn the elections he lost, and the charges are that he used criminal methods to do so.  These three were about election results, so yes, it is about politics.  All politicians try to spin their arguments to convince voters but few commit crimes themselves to do it, and only a few presidents get caught and face the music, Nixon and Trump. Only Trump has faced a trial for committing a crime and was convicted by a jury.  Nixon resigned to avoid impeachment.    far, Trump supporters have had one uniform defense: the trial was unfair. Chief whiner of course, was Donald Trump as he tried to spin the verdict with a series of lies. https://www.factcheck.org/2024/05/trumps-repeated-claims-on-his-new-york-hush-money-trial

 The hush money case was simply about  Trump's involvement in a conspiracy to cook the books to cover up evidence of Trump's extramarital sexual escapades just before the 2016 election.  Catch and kill was not the crime. A one-night stand with a porn star or a mistress on the side are not crimes. Paying hush money itself is not a crime. What the jury found Trump guilty of was cooking the books to keep it quiet to help him in the election campaign. Three of the four trials Trump faces are about committing crimes to fool and scam voters. The victims were the scammed voters deprived of the information about his character they needed to make a rational judgment about his fitness to be president.

What the hush money trial revealed: Trump, the owner of the National Enquirer, and Michael Cohen as the cut-out, go-between, detail operative, conspired to keep voters from learning that the Access Hollywood tapes were more than just p grabbing and locker-talking, but also about a mistress on the side and the one night stand with a porn star, damning last-minute news that might have cost him the election if it got out. Trump is appealing the verdict, claiming the trial was not fair and he was the victim of rigged corrupt politics, and in every instance, he is facing prosecution that is politically motivated involving "corrupt" officials, judges, and juries.

 It is doubtful whether the federal case or the other state case in Georgia will go to trial before the election. The federal trial about Trump's role in the coup plot to overturn the 2020 election is awaiting the Supreme Court's slow-walk ruling on whether he is immune from being prosecuted for crimes he committed when he was in office then and in the future if he is elected in 2024. The other state case is about Trump pressuring Georgia officials to lie about the election results, which is currently on hold. 

The documents case facing Trump is also a federal case, is about actions that endangered national security interests while Trump refused to comply with the law. That one may never see a courtroom trial before the election if the Trump appointee judge continues working at a snail's pace. 

Today, the son of the sitting president, Hunter Biden, is facing the music for lying on an application to purchase a gun and is in a trial by jury in the midst of his father's campaign for re-election. The sitting president is not on trial and the outcome of the election is not the issue, but other laws are involved. The current GOP majority House of Representatives tried for the last two years to make the case that Biden benefitted from his son's business dealings and failed.
