This is what happens “when you drill down” on any matter. It has little to do with this case.
The OJ Simpson case is a good example. It is full of rich detail and complicated chronologies and cross-currents of domestic abuse, LA’s racial divisions, police pathologies, courtroom hijinks, etc. But it’s also simple. He killed two people, and was acquitted.
In the same way, the Trump case is simple despite the volume of detail. He made the US government’s whole relationship with Ukraine contingent on Ukraine paying his re-election campaign with a favor, got caught out, and has been in a defensive crouch ever since.
