Willfully and selectivly editing an innocent until proven guilty individual is grasping at straws? Ok got it. You support just a little bit of lying, not a lot, just a dash.
Thank you! My thoughts exactly!
I never said I supported it, but every indictment is “selectively edited”. An indictment is an accusation, and will be written in such as way as to present the prosecution case as strongly as possible. I said that doing so is not “evidence tampering”, since the indictment is not evidence. As long as the actual evidence is unaltered, the jury will get to decide if the prosecution’s characterization of the statements are correct and justified.
Why is merely pointing out facts as opposed to hyperbolic statements made by so many seen as some sort of attack? The prosecutors will have to provide evidence to support what they claim the tape shows. Perhaps Trump will have evidence and witnesses that will negate what the tape appears to show. But to deny that it currently presents a problem for the defense is to deny reality.
