Allies of former President Donald Trump were quick Thursday to decry a Manhattan jury’s guilty verdict in his hush money trial as a political ploy by Democrats and President Joe Biden to destroy his enemy — and possibly democracy.
One of Trump’s pollsters, John McLaughlin, told Secrets, “President Trump is right. Joe Biden and his supporters have corrupted our legal system and used it to try to defeat their leading political opponent. President Trump’s real crime was leading Joe Biden in the polls.”
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said, “How long can our Republic survive once partisans have taken over the judicial process? This verdict will tragically undermine Americans’ confidence in impartial justice.”
McLaughlin agreed and said voters could now be concerned that they will be next and said it is why the campaign will push harder to get Trump elected.
“It’s now up to the American people to reject the Biden corruption and vote to elect President Trump. If Joe Biden can do this to President Trump, he can railroad any American. This has to end,” the pollster said.
Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN), the GOP nominee for governor in the Hoosier State, told Secrets that the public has to demand that politics be pulled out of the courts.
“This case was a blatant abuse of our justice system as a political weapon by a radical prosecutor trying to interfere in the election, and the verdict proves that this was just a show trial all along. Trump is going to win in November because Americans are sick of these political games,” he said.
