why a change of venue? it was a NY case, a jury trial, and he selected jurors. he was convicted by jurors he approved of.
he had every chance to defend himself and failed to. he attacked the justice system because he could not prove his innocence - and his defense in court did the same thing, attacking the witnesses instead of the facts.
the facts are that he committed multiple counts of criminally attempting to influence the the outcome of free and fair elections.
This trial was not about his attempt to influence the outcome of a free and fair election.
This trial was about bookkeeping and the payment of hush money.
I do agree with you that Christians who support Trump unequivocally are a real problem. It really makes Christians appear as though they cannot reason through the politics and I fear you are in the same place only on the other side.
I have real issues with Trump which you and i completely disagree on, but at least you should be able to recognize that this
trial was a political maneuver.
The selection pool in a place like Manhattan would have overwhelming been Democrats and I am sure his lawyers would have tried to find the least biased among them but it was still a losing pursuit in a very political trial.
