DA Bragg’s case is in serious trouble. The gang behind the prosecution of President Trump made a serious error that should lead President Trump’s team to move to dismiss.
[Prosecutors in New York have revealed what the other crime is that Donald Trump was allegedly trying to conceal when he was falsifying business records and they claim it was to unlawfully promote his candidacy. The fatal error is that the NY Statute they cite only applies to elections within the State of New York and not Federal Elections!
Trump was running for the federal office of President of the United States and not a State Office and therefore the premise of what the prosecution is trying to prove as the second crime used to get around the statute of limitations issue and to elevate this business records case to a felony must fail!
Prosecutors also cannot use a federal law as the second crime and additionally, the FEC, Federal Election Commission, declined on two occasions to prosecute the claim against Trump that the alleged hush money payment was in fact a federal violation.
In this case, Bragg and Colangelo, in an exercise of their legal analysis of the law maintain that Trump, Cohen, and Pecker conspired to get Trump elected to President of the United States. This is the basis for the elevation of charges.]
This is enough to end the case but that’s not all.
The case refers to accounting entries “made” by President Trump (which is lunacy) or entries President Trump forced others to make. But these entries were made in 2017. So how could President Trump possibly impact the 2016 election with accounting entries that were made (clearly not by the President but by some entry-level accountant in his multi-billion dollar organization) in 2017?

Nothing will stop the conviction of Trump.
It is Gateway Pundit, known source of disinformation.
Mere technicalities.
Orange Man BAD!
One must convict.
I disagree!
Gateway Pundit is not original content, it is a news aggregator
Try harder
Yep. Clickbait central. It is amazing how many “fatal errors” there are supposedly in these cases but we never hear about Trump’s attorneys making formal motions to address them.
Mebbe so. But both of them will figuratively wipe it off and proceed forward as if nothing untoward has happened.
That’s not what their own website says: “The Gateway Pundit is an online news publication consisting of news, commentary and analysis.” https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/about/
Yep, just like Fani did.
Uh oh. Its a Bombshell!
It’s going to break the internet!
It’s a game-changer! A wake-up moment! A black swan event! A perfect storm! One crazy trick!
Arguably it’s an election for the state’s electors. Or they can say well there were other state elections going on that day as well.
I think the better argument is that no matter what you call it, buying news stories or whatever he’s accused of doing to influence the election isn’t illegal in the first place.
Say it ain’t so.
Rather than dismiss the case, they should file to dismiss the federal crime charges. That is a much narrower scope and far more likely to be granted.
Next action would be to drop the state charges to misdemeanor.
Final motion would be to dismiss the state charges as the statue of limitation would preclude charges.
Makes one wonder how long they’ve known this or if just learned it, HOW? Trump’s attorneys SHOULD be better than that but we’ve seen how he chooses people to represent him both legal and and the administration..not HOW but WHO that turn around and bite him....
News from where?
Why does anyone think any legal argument will be persuasive to anyone? This is a get Trump plan and the plan is going to play out as all the citizens and Representatives do absolutely nothing.
Merchan’s not going to make any ruling favoring Trump. He’s determined to have Trump found guilty.
Doesn’t matter. It has been proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant is indeed Donald Trump. If the ID fits, you must convict.
judicial misconduct...
