Let me try to make this easy for you to understand.
If you run 10 studies, and 2 show that a medicine works, and 8 show that it doesn't, and then you take those 2 that show it works and present it to somebody and say "Occam's razor. What is more likely, that the medicine works or doesn't?" then you are not using Occam's razor properly.
The news media have programmed your brain with biased cherry-picked information. If you actually cared to know the truth, you wouldn't have the opinion that you have. Listen to Glenn Greenwald, Alan Dershowitz, or Jonathan Turley about this case. I defer to them.
You are programmed by their programming and that programming's targetting system has misfired because I don't like Trump. Trump would turn Gaza into a real estate development. He gave part of Syria to Israel (as if it was his to give!). He would start a war with China. And he would be manipulated by everybody since his narcissism knows no bounds. Plus he would pile more money into the military.
What I care about is a functional civil society.... well I don't care anymore America can burn in hellfire at this point and I would just go on living my happy life. But what I used to care about was that laws were followed, that judges were fair, that people did the right thing and defended the constitution instead of using laws as a cudgel to hit people they don't like the spray tan of.
Since you have been short on facts about this case, let me give you a few (I'm not even trying here to make a defense):
Hilllary Clinton commited the same crime as Donald Trump. She put down in her ledger a false entry about purchasing the "Trump-Russia" dossier from Fusion GPS as opposition research. She was fined $8,000 by the FEC. Donald Trump should also have been fined $8,000 and the matter should be closed. Trump also put down a false ledger entry. It was false because the whole point of the entry was to "hush" something. If he had written down what he was hushing, it wouldn't have been hushed would it? It wasn't something illegal he was hiding, it was something embarrassing. This case has set a precident that you cannot have privacy in this way, which is a precident you (not I) are going to have to live with because Trump haters don't care about the collateral damage they are causing.
Consider that the E Jean Carroll case was brought because NY changed their statute of limitations for JUST ONE YEAR so that she could bring the case against him for a crime allegedly committed back in 1995 which was far beyond the statute of limitations. Changing the statute of limitations just to "get Trump" is the kind of thing I say is corruption that is killing America. It was also "ex post facto" which violates the US constitution article 1 section 9 clause 3. He had to pay her $5 million dollars even though she didn't establish that he raped her. They levied the fine entirely on the basis that he called her case "a hoax" calling that 'defamation'. That is corruption.
Mischaracterizing January 6 is corruption.
You know, you are going to have to live in the system of wonky made up change-on-a-whim rules that these things have created. Good luck figuring out what is and isn't allowed.
By hating on Trump so much, US democrats are flat out destroying the democracy that they think they are saving. THAT is what is so sad about this and why I take my position.
ALSO, all rhetoric is rhetorical whether or not it is a question.
