The Bragg case was considered prosecutorial overreach not because Trump’s actions were not illegal (they technically were) nor that the prosecutor was pursuing a law that is never prosecuted (there are convictions on record for similar offenses under the same law).
The problem was that it’s a somewhat common violation of the law that is rarely prosecuted. You know, like a certain set of actions during mortgage applications that at least 100,000 Americans have done.
Trump and Trump supporters: It’s wrong to do this!
By that, we mean it’s wrong to do it to Trump!
It’s fine to do it to anyone else, especially if Trump dislikes them.
(Before you try the “you all thought it was fine” route, you might want to look over the message board to see if there are any “here’s why the Bragg case is weak” posts in real time or any such comments from the left in social media or in legacy media. The Bragg case was wrong to prosecute when Trump was the defendant, and these cases are wrong to prosecute now.)
