LOS ANGELES - April 6, 2023 - PRLog -- Political analyst Earl Ofari Hutchinson notes, "Nearly four and a half years after Donald Trump's verbal assault on Stormy Daniels for her defamation lawsuit against him a Manhattan District grand jury indicted him on multiple charges of falsifying business records in making a hush money pay-off to the woman he called "horse face."

In his hard-hitting new book, Conviction: The Case For and Against  the Conviction of Trump, Hutchinson observes, "Trump then seemed to be in the legal driver's seat. Her lawsuit had been rejected. There was no pending criminal investigation, let alone action, against him. He enjoyed the shield of the presidency, had a compliant GOP solidly behind him, and the slavish loyalty of tens of millions of devotees."

Hutchinson tells why during the next four years, successive Manhattan DAs as well as other prosecutors toyed with whether to bring charges against Trump. They did not. However, the threat was always there. On March 30, 2023, what many believed highly unlikely, namely that charges would be filed against him, the highly unlikely happened. A New York Grand Jury returned a multi-count indictment of thirty-four charges against him. The charges were the payoff to Daniels, lying about it, and the possibility of violating campaign finance disclosure. Trump did the alleged illicit deal through his bagman attorney Michael Cohen.

Says Hutchinson, "With the indictment, Trump claimed another dubious history-making first. He was the first sitting president impeached twice. Now he became the first former sitting president to be hauled into a criminal court. The burning debate quickly ragged over the contention that 'Indicting Trump is one thing but convicting him is another.'

"There was no clear answer to this for many reasons. It began and ended with Trump, or more particularly, his long history of ducking, dodging, parrying, delaying, and generally evading being found liable for any of his many alleged illicit dealings. There have been hundreds of lawsuits, mountains of investigations both civil and criminal, and threats of prosecution against him. Yet, he always emerged legally unscathed."

In Conviction: The Case For and Against Convicting Trump Hutchinson assesses Trump's history of criminal prosecution evasion, what it finally took to indict him, and the political and legal minefield that convicting him poses.

Hutchinson insists that convicting Trump will be an uphill climb with many twists and turns. Hutchinson details the ins and outs of this historic stirring legal and political drama unprecedented in U.S. history.
