I think you're right about them being politically motivated, simply because other politicians have gotten away with far worse than most of what he's being charged with.
But lets take a look at some of what he's not being charged with.
Trump encouraged the J6 "protesters" to become violent with thinly veiled language. I watched it happen in real time.
He refused to denounce political extremists, instead asking them to "Stand back and stand by." I watched that happen live, too.
He suggested injecting bleach to fight the corona virus. Live.
He bragged about passing a basic cognitive test by repeating "Man, Woman, Person, Camera, TV" once again, live.
He let US citizens die by withholding pandemic aid to states that he felt weren't aligned with him politically.
I could go on (and on) but I think I've made my point.
I don't care what the motivations are. Bury the motherfucker.
