To a normal observer, if the underexplained version of the trial looks like the Lewinsky affair all over again, the uber-explained version might just look like a partisan prosecutor’s overreach.
But watching the trial play out so far, it seems just as likely that as in the primaries, so now in the general election: Any political effect from being charged and tried is probably working marginally in Trump’s favor. Admittedly, some politically engaged Americans are too young to directly recall the Clinton presidency. But the Monica Lewinsky affair still casts a meaningful cultural shadow, and many of the Trump trial’s headlines cast the prosecutors in a Kenneth Starr-like part. Nothing really new is being revealed about Trump’s conduct here; the country knows that he’s a philanderer and scoundrel.
Then you further know that the prosecution has multiple candidates for its “another crime” that Trump allegedly intended to commit, forcing legal analysts to create flow charts to explain how the misdemeanor charge could be linked to other possible offenses. Maybe to a federal campaign finance violation. Maybe to a form of tax fraud . Or maybe to a conspiracy “to promote or prevent the election of any person to a public office by unlawful means.
