 I gather Trump's lawyer, Alina Habba, is presenting Trump's "They're Out To Get Me" defense. 

It won't work, of course.

It also cynically assumes that everyone (or lots of people). commit fraud and poor Trump is the one being picked on by the government. 

"If they get me for defrauding the government out of a billion dollars they can do it to you! They're not after me. They're after you! I'm just standing in their way!"
