Richard Derus asked William Cooper:

Are you deeply thrilled at the verdict delivered in Manhattan on May 30?

William Cooper Hi Richard,

Thanks for the question.

I am ambivalent about the verdict. I strongly oppose Trump's candidacy for president and think he would be a big threat to the country if he were to win. I wrote about his here: https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/11/opinio...

But I also think he probably won't go to jail for long enough to prevent his presidency if he beats Biden (after sentencing and appeal). And this outcome may actually help Trump at the polls. His indictments made him more popular with voters.

I do know this: The whole scenario is unfortunate for the country.

What do you think?
