Virginia political figures react to Trump verdict on social media
The American people see this for what it is: a politically motivated prosecution orchestrated by those who want to “get” President Trump.

On November 5th, Americans will render their verdict on Joe Biden’s failed leadership based on the issues that affect them everyday.
It is a somber day when a former president is convicted of numerous felonies, but it also shows that no one is above the law.

The Trump verdict is proof that no one is above the law in this country. It’s also tragic in this way—Americans put the reins of leadership in the hands of a person whose character is so far beneath the office that no rational adult would ever encourage young people to emulate...

Nobody, not even Donald Trump, is above the law. The jury got it right today. https://t.co/NYNX2y1v5P

We are a country of laws. Today, our justice system held someone accountable for his crimes.

In the wake of this verdict, responsible lawmakers must lead by example and not deny the truth or stoke anger.
We must demonstrate principled leadership and uphold the rule of law.
I am hopeful that the newly convicted thug will still be legally allowed to waste his time campaigning in Virginia so he can continue costing Republicans multiple elections for running on his platform.

As a prosecutor and criminal defense attorney for the past 27 years, I have never been so struck by this level of fundamental unfairness in a criminal proceeding. This was a rigged show trial, replete with legal errors, obvious biases and political agendas.

It is tragic that an American president has been convicted of crimes, but Donald Trump is responsible for his own actions. If a jury finds those actions were criminal after due process in a court of law, he must be held accountable. In the United States no one is above the law.
