It's about politics, not rule of law

Dick Morris is hedging his bets here.  He says "will backfire", but at the end of his essay, he switches to "may". So, which is it?

The fact is, we won't know until the elections.

Here's my opinion, for what it is worth.  Trump and his associates would not be in trouble at all except for the fact that Trump won the election in 2016.  Therefore, everything here is about politics, not rule of law.

Manafort would not have been convicted.  There would have been no trial.  We know that already because his case is ten years old.  Everybody in DC knew Manafort.  Nobody thought he was a crook, otherwise he'd a been in jail already.  His sin was to be associated with Trump.  Same goes with all the rest who have been coerced into pleading guilty in exchange for cooperation in getting Trump.

That's the bottom line.  Getting Trump.  It is not about rule of law.  It is about politics.
