	Late Monday morning, South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham took to his official campaign X account to state his opinion on day one of former GOP President Donald Trump's criminal trial in New York City.

	The MAGA Senator regurgitated the official party line—that holding a criminal who happens to be a politician accountable and subject to the same laws as their constituents will damage the Republican version of democracy. Laws for thee, not for me.
Graham shared a Fox News link captioned:
"The New York case is truly election interference.""This spectacle put on by Manhattan's liberal DA, Alvin Bragg, is dangerous to the rule of law and the future of the presidency.""It will do enormous damage to how the law is used in politics."The New York case is truly election interference.\n\nThis spectacle put on by Manhattan's liberal DA, Alvin Bragg, is dangerous to the rule of law and the future of the presidency.

People were quick to agree with Graham. 
Just not in the way he wanted.
@LindseyGrahamSC I agree 100%. The trial is about donald trumps actions to interfere with information that would influence voters aka Election Interference! I guess hell froze over now that I agreed with graham on something.

	Criminal defense attorney and former state and federal prosecutor Ron Filipkowski shared a screenshot of Graham's opening line: "The New York case is truly election interference."
Filipkowski captioned his X post:
"It is. The whole case is about how he illegally interfered with the 2016 election with a bribery and intimidation scheme."It is. The whole case is about how he illegally interfered with the 2016 election with a bribery and intimidation scheme.

Others concurred—the New York case absolutely is about election interference by Team Trump in the 2016 election.
The Fulton County, Georgia case will address some of Trump's 2020 election interference.
@LindseyGrahamSC I can\u2019t believe I need to say this to a U.S. sitting Senator, but\u2026\nIn America, we follow the rule of law. Trump is an accused criminal who is alleged to have committed multiple crimes. Now he faces a jury of his peers just as any American would, and as you will in Georgia. \u2b07\ufe0f

@LindseyGrahamSC Yes, it truly is about election interference committed by the criminal in your picture, that he should have been charged with years ago. Glad you\u2019re up to speed for once in your pathetic life.

@RonFilipkowski It\u2019s quite literally about election interference. Nice attempt at spin, Lindsay

@LindseyGrahamSC The New York case is about covering up Trump\u2019s affair to the American people, which is election interference \u2014 and paying off that affair with falsified business records may lead to more crimes like IRS fraud and vaping finance violations. \n\nStop lying Lindsey.

@LindseyGrahamSC This is just the unindicted co-conspirator finally getting his day in court.\nYou failed to hold Trump accountable twice. You have no moral standing to complain about the law considering your participation in spreading lies.\nhttps://t.co/iUvWlwt3et

@LindseyGrahamSC You are right. The New York case is about how Trump interfered with the 2016 election with a bribery scheme. #LawAndOrder

@LindseyGrahamSC TRUMP committed election interference by paying off people to bury stories prior to an election. Keep up, bro. \ud83e\udd26\u200d\u2640\ufe0f

@LindseyGrahamSC If Trump is innocent, he has no problem to prove it in court. But as we could all see it before, lies cost him millions. \nEveryone in front of law should be equal. Including him. So fair trial won't affect election results. Ofcourse if he really is innocent!!!

People questioned Graham's concern for the rule of law and the future of democracy versus his deep concern for the future of Lindsey Graham in a MAGA-controlled GOP.
@LindseyGrahamSC Lindsey Graham before Trump showed him the kompromat Putin has on him.

@LindseyGrahamSC Yes, it is election interference. Trump illegally used bribery and blackmail to interfere in the 2016 election. Why do you constantly lie & gaslight America about Trump\u2019s crimes? Trump will release whatever blackmail he has on you when you are of no use to him. You\u2019re a traitor!

	As of March 2024, Trump faced 91 felony counts in two state courts and in two different federal prosecutorial districts. If convicted, prison is a distinct possible outcome. 

	Trump already lost a civil suit for financial fraud in New York and a pair of defamation judgments for lies he told before, during and after his one term as President.

	Although Trump was a political and public service neophyte, he was an old hand with legal woes.

	From the 1970s until he was elected to his first and only public office as  President of the United States in 2016, Donald Trump and his various businesses and charitable foundations were involved in over 4,000 legal cases in both federal and state courts.

	They included lawsuits from casino patrons, million-dollar real estate deals gone wrong, defamation lawsuits, failure to pay contractors, misappropriation of funds from Trump family charitable foundations, business fraud, failure to pay employees or his business' bills, housing discrimination targeting Black people and over 100 business tax disputes.

	Trump has also been accused of sexual harassment and sexual assault multiple times.
