Taken by itself, the fraudulent document case was much ado about nothing. Considered in context, however, it’s the same as Trump’s “perfect phone calls,” where he pressured Zelensky to fabricate a story about Biden, and then asked Raffensberger to “find” votes that didn’t exist. It’s how he operates, and it’s good to see the Roy Cohn playbook of “deny and attack” is no longer working for Trump, at least not in court.
Considered in another context, Trump is a legitimate businessman who only tests the edges of legality. The context of the Ponzi Scheme.
