Phil Boas' argument that the Stormy Daniels case is "the wrong case to indict Trump," suggests DAs should pick and choose more carefully the crimes they prosecute, which is an odd argument when applying the law. Personally I think a case involving sleaze, bribery, hush money, sexual peccadilloes and a cover up, totally befits the character of the man. The fact that he bragged of touching women's private parts at beauty pageants encapsulates who he is. That 74 million Americans voted for him is no argument at all and a reflection of a system that can elevate someone of dubious moral character to the pinnacle of power. To describe the horrors of his four years when he exacerbated the pandemic; recommended horse medicine and Clorox as antidotes; handed Afghanistan back to the murderous Taliban; shook hands with communist tyrants and tried to overthrow an election he knew he had lost, is a fuller way to describe a man who Boas euphemistically writes "cuts corners and plays with dynamite." Stormy Daniels is the first shot across the bow in a struggle of power, money and populist rhetoric against the rule of law. Hopefully there will be more shots to come from bigger cannon.

The allegations against Trump perfectly suit the man
