Trump kermitted 64 bazillion felonies! Hurr-durr!
All they need is 1 of 34. That’s the game
I’ve yet to have someone explain to me how as State court has Jurisdiction to try someone for a violation of a Federal Campaign finance law.
They all succeed or fail together.
“Michael Cohen paid Daniels $130,000 to keep her story out of the press, and Trump later reimbursed him with a series of checks”
Totaling $460,000.
yeah but they are all the same except date and amount
That is just silly, and it should be thrown out of court immediately.
As a bean counter, I can see that the alleged payments were made by the Trump Revocable Trust. Where is the tie to Trump’s Election Campaign?
Without that tie, there can be no crime to which Trump would be allegedly trying to conceal.
With no crime to conceal, how could Trump possibly intend to commit fraud?
The prosecutors case is very weak indeed.
“I’ve yet to have someone explain to me how as State court has Jurisdiction to try someone for a violation of a Federal Campaign finance law.”
He is not being tried on violation of campaign finance laws.
As far as I can see, the "crime" is "influencing an election". Like, when a candidate runs an ad on TV, or holds a rally, or delivers a a good speech. These are all attempts to influence an election and are now illegal (when a Republican does it).
that is how bragg leveraged a misdemeanor into a felony
They just took a piece of paper and typed “orange man bad” on it 34 times
Powerline sums it up nicely: a nothingburger.

Did you figure out the "17th century biologists" post yet, Dad?
So if I’m accused of doing X, which I didn’t do, and then interviewed by the police, and 34 times I’m accused of X, and each time I deny it...
I can now be indicted on 34 counts of lying to the police, even though X is not proven.
Payment to his barber and taylor should be investigated next because they help his election.
Cohen said repeatedly to his attorneys that Trump didn’t even know it was happening and that Cohen just paid it and then got reimbursed by basically padding the bill.
“that is how bragg leveraged a misdemeanor into a felony”
Cohen has plead guilty to making the illegal campaign contribution and is the star witness.
