Guilty, guilty, guilty?

TOPIC: The Political Trials of Donald Trump and Hunter Biden

WATCH:

MONEYLINE:

"If I'm Donald Trump, I am pounding Joe Biden hard to define for the country what it was that he did wrong and Joe Biden is not going to be able to pull that off."

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• The ongoing trials of Donald Trump and Hunter Biden are unlikely to make significant impacts on their respective campaigns, with both expected to face little to no jail time.

• The potential for Joe Biden to label Donald Trump as a convicted felon during debates is anticipated, requiring Trump to have a strong counter-narrative ready.

• The discussion explores the political motivations behind the timing and nature of the trials, suggesting they are more about creating distractions from policy issues than about justice.

• Speculation surrounds the sentencing of Trump, with possibilities ranging from immediate jail time to more symbolic punishments like travel restrictions, reflecting the politicized nature of the case.

• The case against Trump is viewed as weak, relying on questionable witnesses and considered the least likely to succeed among several charges.

• Trump's legal troubles are expected to rally his base, as seen in the continued popularity of his rallies, with potential implications for his performance in upcoming debates and the general election.
