He's not a pawn in a political game. He got away with a lot of crimes for a long time. Then he got found out.

This would not happen but for who he is and but for the fact that Trump and NY are in a form of political war. And NY is run by Democrats.
This indictment is a vile and despicable as its target. In a perfect world, Trump would have actual billions, and commit tens of millions to beating the shit out Vance on behalf of Manafort.
In an even better world, this creates precedent allowing for the defense of selective prosecution. And the ethics investigation of Vance's office, and Cuomo's minions who put them up to this.
