- Donald Trump’s hush money trial has concluded with a guilty verdict on all 34 counts.
- But that isn’t likely to be the end of the matter.
- The former president has had a symbiotic relationship with a legal system he frequently denounces but routinely uses to his advantage.
- At one point, he did defense attorneys’ work for them, objecting to a salacious question prosecutors asked a key witness.
- And as commentators frequently reminded us, Trump would be convicted only if 12 jurors unanimously concluded he was guilty beyond reasonable doubt.
