If the claim is that it is illegal to do legal things to influence an election, I'm curious to see what type of Pandora's box we've opened. Our current President constantly lies about things such as the rate of inflation when he took office any how many jobs he's created, all in an effort to influence an upcoming election. Do you think we should charge him for that?
I suppose the question might be, is it legal to use criminal activities to determine an election outcome. I think a jury of our peers has spoken. Both sides had a chance to argue their case. Perhaps you re aware of campaign finance laws?

The question of inflation is opinion and not a legal issue. I know of a Nobel prize winning economist that disagrees with your media feeds. It would seem he has presidential immunity regardless, as some would claim. After all inflation started with Trump.

That underlying crime, prosecutors argued, was a violation of a New York state election law that prohibits conspiring to promote a candidate by “unlawful means.” The hush money to Daniels, prosecutors said, was unlawful because it violated campaign finance laws.
