Fox and friends desperately looked for the bright side of Trump's future being determined by a jury.

They started by critiquing a Washington Post article that offers different scenarios if Trump is found guilty.

The four-headed monster spent a lot of time discussing the possibility of Trump being convicted of a crime they say "never happened."

As you might expect, there is never bad news on Fox and Friends for diminished Donald. Kilmeade and Co. gushed over Trump like apostles of his cult.

Only the MAGA cult views this as a deep-state plot against traitor Trump.

Kilmeade: He's in front of people. That's where he excels. That's where they get their mailing lists. That's where they find out who the voters are. That's where they find out who had to get other voters from the ones that show up.

Earhardt: But it could help him, Brian, because he's actually more popular, raised more money in April after all of this started, after the trial started, than Joe Biden did. And if America sees that they're trying to keep a presidential candidate, there are only two, and one of them has to, A, be in a courtroom for six weeks, and then right after that, has to be in home confinement.

Doocy: If he's convicted, I think his popularity goes up.

Earhardt: I do too.

Doocy: But, I mean, he has defied political gravity over the last year. And if he is convicted, he has made a very effective argument about "two tiers of justice" and stuff like that.

Earhardt [still acting confused]: What did he do wrong, though? What did he do wrong? An NDA is not illegal. Paying someone to keep quiet, if they agree, is not illegal.

It's up to these wrong men and women. Telling the National Enquirer, for the National Enquirer to decide not to run a story, that's not illegal.

Kilmeade: So what you should be focusing on, I believe, is the underside, is the independents and the moderates. And how many of them, even if it's 5 percent, will say, 'I won't vote for anybody who's a felon.' And what they plan on doing at the White House is introducing Donald Trump as 'convicted felon, former President Donald Trump.'

And you know The Washington Post and New York Times would do the same, Politico would do the same exact thing. Do you know that's going to come up in the debate in June.

'You're a convicted felon. Don't tell me about the case. You're a convicted felon.' They're going to be doing that.

Well, heck, what candidate of any party wouldn't say the obvious? Trump already has been found liable for sexually assaulting columnist E. Jean Carroll in 1996.

F&F uses Hunter Biden as a cudgel against President Biden whenever it suits them. So does the Trump campaign.

Trump as 'convicted felon' has a lovely ring to it, don't ya think?
