Their framing makes us "think past the sale" of the charges being valid in the first place. And that's the important question.
Yes, the jury in the most biased city on the planet found the facts to be true. That doesn't change the FIRST fact that there was no victim and no one but Trump would have been charged.
Juries don't rule on whether the charges should have been brought in the first place. And that's the "lawfare" question that is most relevant.
The fun part is that Democrats think calling Trump a "felon" will suddenly start working in their favor as opposed to signaling their total collapse.
