It was very clear early on that the Manhattan 'hush money' trial of Donald Trump was the Left engaging in lawfare. They've admitted as much,
Now, on the first anniversary of the guilty verdict -- which did not derail Trump's campaign -- ABC News tried to take a victory lap.

One year ago, a jury convicted Donald Trump for falsifying business records as part of an alleged hush money scheme to influence the 2016 election.

One year ago today, a jury of 12 New Yorkers convicted Donald Trump for falsifying business records as part of an alleged hush money scheme to influence the 2016 election.
The conviction left an indelible mark on Trump -- making him the first president or former president to be found guilty of a crime -- and his fight to erase that legacy continues to this day.
On June 11, a federal appeals court in Manhattan is set to hear oral arguments in the president's renewed legal fight to move his criminal case from state to federal court.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg opposes the move -- arguing that a case can't be removed to federal court after conviction -- but Trump's lawyers have argued the 'unprecedented criminal prosecution of a former and current president of the United States belongs in federal court.'
Run with that, Bragg.
One year ago, a leftist DA, judge and jury used lawfare to manufacture felonies out of thin air against a former president.

They tried so hard to undermine democracy.
And demonstrated to many that he was a victim, thus energizing his base, leading to Trump's historic reelection

They are their own worse enemies.
One year later, Donald Trump is the President of the United States and this little Biden stunt blew up in the Democrats face

For them? Not so good.
For us? Much better.
How'd all that lawfare work out for the Democrats? https://t.co/W0TnSKVQSg
