What does an affair with someone in her office have to do with trump's case being legit or not? The people who actually care about that shit think it's illegitimate regardless.
it doesn't. it's not like she was sleeping with a defendant

This isnt just someone in her office, its literally one of the prosecutors on the Trump case itself. That blows away a lot of credibility as to impartiality, and gives Trump and his team a wedge with which they can further convince fence sitters (and dont fool yourselves, not everyone in this country has made up their minds yet) that these cases against him are being brought and prosecuted by people who are corrupt. So much of his schtick is not proving himself incorruptible, but making everyone else look more corrupt than he is. Sowing enough reasonable doubt as to his involvement and painting those opposing him as attacking him personally without sufficent grounds for a real case. And an illicit affair between the DA who brought the case and one of the prosecutors on it? What better example than that to show the bias and inability for these people to behave like professionals, and question whether that lack of professionalism applies to their work as a whole.
Its all optics and narrative, and even with his syphillus-rotted brain Trumps ability to control both should never be underestimated.
why would a prosecutor have to be impartial?
