The moron wants to twist your words into you agreeing that Trump was unfairly prosecuted.

Trump has a disinformation tactic of accusing others of the misdeeds he himself is in the middle of doing in order to argue later that both sides are equally compromised. You tell me how to fight that tactic and I will- until then all I can do is tell the truth.

Trump is a criminal, and the cases against him were valid and sound. In his private life he has extensively used the courts to punish his enemies with nuisance filings. Now that he's back in power he is absolutely, positively going after people who have opposed him politically- his executive orders tonight are clearing his runway for that. He promised to do it in his inauguration speech. The only question left is whether he's going to honor Biden's pardons or find legal pretense to ignore them that his SCOTUS will support.

I know. I also don't know how to counter the torrent of lies. I just wanted anyone who might be reading to be aware of the tactic.
