Felony is being Donald Trump

[Dalberg-Acton]

[ClearCase_guy]

As far as I know, one of Trump’s accountants sent money to Trump’s lawyer (related to the NDA) and marked down in the ledger that the money being paid to the lawyer was a “legal expense”. The state of New York says that’s a felony.

[z3n]

It wasn't a felony. It was a misdemeanor.

They waved a magic wand and turned it into a felony so that they could skirt the statute of limitations and make Trump sound more badder. lol

[Magnum44]

Like all democrat law, it’s made up as they go.

[Bshaw]

No.

I hold an advanced degree, have been paying attention to all of the news stories and legal pundits throughout this ordeal, and 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.

[Political Junkie Too]

There wasn't one. The whole thing was a violation of Trump's most basic constitutional rights.

Bragg and Merchan violated President Trump's fifth and sixth amendment rights in so many ways.

1. Trump's sixth amendment right to "an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed" was denied to him by Bragg and Merchan by not moving the venue to a more balanced location outside of New York City.

2. Trump's sixth amendment right to a trial in "which district shall have been previously ascertained by law" was denied to him by Bragg and Merchan by trying a federal campaign finance law in a county court in New York.

3. Trump's sixth amendment right "to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusations" against him was denied to him by Bragg and Merchan by not revealing what the underlying charge that bootstrapped the misdemeanors was. Even after conviction, nobody knows what the underlying crime was.

4. Trump's sixth amendment right to "have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor" was denied to him by Bragg and Merchan by not letting Trump put the former Chairman of the Federal Elections Commission on the witness stand to give expert testimony on what constitutes illegal campaign spending.

5. Trump's sixth amendment right to have a unanimous jury verdict was denied to him by Bragg and Merchan by letting the jury pick from several possible underlying crimes without all agreeing on what that crime was.

6. Trump's fifth amendment right to "due process of law" was violated when Bragg and Merchan instructed the jury to presume guilt of the underlying crime that resuscitated misdemeanors that were past their statute of limitations.

He is guilty of crimes against the Deep State.

You are as well—btw.

You are not important enough for them to waste the time persecuting you.

[ZinGirl]

Oh, good. So it wasn’t just me…thought I was either too dense or had missed something. Thanks for the thread. 👍

“How should the payment to Stormy Daniels be declared in order to make it NOT illegal? “

It was categorized as a legal fees payment to Cohen.

I assume the correct way to categorize it would be as reimbursement for NDA payment to Daniels.

[McGavin999]

Just a thought, has anyone ever noticed that liberal women look like men and liberal men look like women?

[Wuli]

The political operative known as District Attorney Alvin Bragg is attempting to conflate misdemeaners (34 accounting “errors”), the statute of limitations have run out on, into an “election interference” FEDERAL felony, in a NY state court, without in the indictement having stated exactly what law was broken.

[BipolarBob]

The most that could be construed was a book keeping error on the entry describing the transaction which he did not himself do, or have knowledge of and in and of itself is not a felony or all of the CPAs would become felons overnight due to inadvertent or vague entries. Totally bogus charge over non-existent “crime”.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Running for President after they legitimately stole it from him and told him he would never be allowed to take office even if he did win.

[Billthedrill]

It’s part of a pattern set during the Trump impeachment hearings: secret charges, secret witnesses, certain convictions, all spearheaded and smoke-screened by media who are corrupt and disgusting. You won’t know what he did wrong because the public has no right to see the secrets of the party machinery.

[1Old Pro]

No, because the jury never said

[Dan in Wichita]

No one can tell us what crime Trump was convicted of because the prosecution never told anyone. A clear violation of Trump’s 6th Amendment rights.

Hey, the Bee figured it out! It was just posted above. At last, the mystery solved!

As a PFC, prior to his announcement in 2016, the made up charges were put into place.
