Guilty - 34 Counts

 Trump was found guilty of all 34 charges of financial fraud to commit campaign fraud. Here is historian Heather Cox Richardson:

Republican senators could have convicted Trump, but they acquitted him. 

Today, twelve ordinary Americans did what Republican senators refused to do. They protected the rule of law and held Trump accountable for his attempt to rig an election.

Trump stared blankly ahead as the verdict was read. “Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty.” 

Trump has managed to escape accountability from the political system, but in a court of law, where prosecutors brought facts, witnesses were under oath, and jurors did not need him to keep them in positions of power, he lost.”

Thank you.  The rule of law prevailed over the threat of a wannabe king. Time for actual conservative voters to just turn away from this pathetic little criminal.
