It seems like every time you turn around, someone connected to Trump is being targeted by the legal system. While Weisselberg made a mistake, this relentless pursuit feels more like a political witch hunt than justice. It's important to question whether the same energy is being applied to scrutinize the dealings of politicians on the other side of the aisle.
