RE: I have absolutely no idea how you arrive at 30+ felonies from a single journal entry from a staff accountant for a payment made to an attorney.
Correct me if I’m wrong. If Trump DIVIDED the $130,000 paid to Stormy ( actually as reimbursement to Michael Cohen for having paid her first ), into 34 separate payments, then Alvin Bragg considers each of the 34 subpayments 34 separate felonies, even if they all are for the same $130,000 paid for the non-disclosure agreement.
Does this make sense?

That’s the same way I see it also!!! I was a full charge bookkeeper in a former life - years of it. My job was to write the checks for bills submitted and to classify them in the check journal and post that and all other journals affecting a financial condition to the General Ledger at the end of each month - YEARS BEFORE COMPUTERS - unless directed to do anything different from what seemed normal - checks to an attorney - legal fees..checks to a CPA - accounting fees etc. etc. In the Trump organization a bookkeeper saw checks written to an attorney and posted those as legal expenses.
Some noise by was made by the MSM about xxx # of “vouchers” and xx # of “invoices” but I never heard an explanation or what that meant! Who wrote the invoices or vouchers???
Was Trump’s name/initials on any piece of paper submitted for payment?
