    The Trump lawyers’ claim is that the DA played favorites to get her boyfriend into a senior position, with a high bill rate, then he returned the favor by funneling money back to her. And that proves that the case is really about enriching the DA, and should be tossed on that basis alone. As you note, this has nothing to do with the case itself. Nor do a few plane tickets denote a kickback scheme. If she was really taking kickbacks, don’t you think she’d throw in a few gold bars or something? (That’s how they do that shit in Congress…)

    If there’s anything to it, it should be an ethics investigation into the DA. Since the defense brought it up it seems prudent for the judge to ask for an explanation but what’s publically known so far doesn’t warrant anything but a finger-wave and a single “tsk”.
