Too late, they realized their mistake

Ross Douthat in the NY Times: "Why the Manhattan trial is probably helping Trump."
I defer to those analysts on what New York state legal precedent suggests. But I would defy anyone to summarize the underlying situation, in which a presidential candidate could be sent to prison for a misdemeanor offense elevated by a second crime for which he isn’t even being charged, without the description coming across as somewhat Kafkaesque.
We warned that charging Trump for a bookkeeping dispute would turn him into a martyr and now the laughable nature of this case is doing just that.  Great job, guys!
