Republicans like Speaker Mike Johnson must be reminded about why Donald Trump was found guilty of 34 felonies i.e. sex cover up

Opinion letter echo: Trump is guilty — period❗ Published in The Columbian.

Trump was found guilty of 34 acts of felony — period! He was convicted of falsification of business records because he paid illegal hush money to Stormy Daniels to keep her quiet about their sexual encounter. 

What Trump did is a felony in New York. On July 11, Trump will be sentenced. I highly doubt that he will be sent to jail. Probation? Probably.

Now the Republican politicians are doing what I thought they would do — whining and blaming everyone they can think of by making false statements about the prosecution, against Judge Merchan, the jury and even President Joe Biden. 

Republican reality check! President Biden had nothing to do with this case. It is a state prosecution not federal; 12 independent jurors found him guilty. Biden didn’t know them

This all started with Trump cheating on his wife multiple times with a porn star and a Playboy model. Republican politicians won’t mention that.
