Prosecutors in Trump's criminal case say they have recording of Trump and a witness
CBS News ^ | May 26, 2023 | BY GRAHAM KATES

Prosecutors in former President Donald Trump's Manhattan criminal case have released to his attorneys a recording of Trump and a witness, whose identity was not disclosed, according to a document the office made public Friday.

The document, called an automatic discovery form, describes the nature of the charges against a defendant and a broad overview of the evidence that prosecutors will present at Trump's preliminary hearing or at trial. Trump's attorneys and media organizations, including CBS News, had repeatedly requested that such a form be made public in the weeks since Trump's arrest on April 4.

Trump is the first former president in American history to face criminal charges. He has entered a not guilty plea to 34 felony counts of falsification of business records for alleged payments made as part of a "hush money" scheme.

The document lists the dates of 34 instances between Feb. 14, 2017 and Dec. 5, 2017 when he allegedly falsified records.

In a section devoted to electronic evidence that will be turned over, a prosecutor for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office indicated they have disclosed to the defense a "recording of a conversation between defendant and a witness."

The section also indicates prosecutors intend to disclose recordings of calls between witnesses and others.

I agree the election will not be fair, however Republicans will have some impact on how fair the election will or won’t be.

I get really tired of hearing about all the cheating that goes on when I don’t hear any plan to deal with it.

I would say, most of the “cheating” is not cheating legally since cheating has been made legal in many ways.

Ballot Harvesting should be illegal everywhere for every election and it’s not. The Democrats exploit it using great tactics.

The legalization of ballot harvesting is not a one way street, the laws don’t say only Democrats can harvest ballots, yet, Republicans refuse to play the game.

If we want to change the fairness of elections we have to engage in the process at the ground level and use 2024 tactics not tactics of 1980.

With AI now in progress who’s to say this isn’t something AI manufactured? Awhile back Glenn Beck had a woman on who said she got a call from her daughter saying she was being held hostage, the voice was definitely her daughter, but, in actuality is was AI. All AI needs is about 3 seconds to copy a voice and they can create all kinds of conversations.

As far as the Democrats are concerned, Trump was never actually the President, so every single day he occupied the Oval Office was a crime of trespass, just as terrible as the J6 protestors milling around Nancy Pelosi’s office. Every single thing he did while with his powers as President was a crime. Every order he gave was a crime, every document he signed was an additional count of criminal fraud.

Beware of the latest AI technology and voice recreation. The CIA may be rolling out its next tool.

I’m skeptical of their “recordings”. We’ve been here before.

They’ve got recordings and a witness, but they still don’t have a crime.

Real question for the forum:

Has Bragg stated what statues Trump allegedly broke to the court yet or not?

It’s not about justice, only about keeping Trump from becoming President again. This should be clear to everyone here by now.

Likely Cohen, right? He was Trump’s lawyer at the time? Could have been for a lot of subjects.

They can also pay a lot of money to have an AI program mimic Trump’s vocals on a recording saying things he never said. Same as they can pay a lot of money to have an AI program produce a video or still photos of Trump doing something he never did. Same applies to all of you, too. The technology is there.

“We officially live in a Third World nation now...”

It’s called “we been fundamentally transformed up the wazoo”.

“The technology is there.”

Yes it is. No ‘green screen’ required. And they use it to manipulate, nudge and control. And they’re just getting started.

He was not elected, thus by our constitution, he does not have the authority to do all he has done

The “election” alleged to be fraudulent has no Constitutional existence. The 50 State Legislatures which appoint 535 Electors (and Congress, which appoints 3) have all adopted the custom of having people voting as the means by which the appointments are normally made, but this creates 51 elections, not one.

Those 51 elections occur at the direction of, and are subservient to, 50 legislatures and Congress. The States unwisely granted Congress 3 Electors by ratifying the XXIII Amendment in 1960, so Congress does have supervisory power OVER THOSE THREE, but not otherwise.

There is only one Presidential election in the Constitution, it takes place in December, there are 538 voters, and in December 2020 Biden got 306 of them and was elected President.

No State Legislature objected that its Electors were not the ones they had appointed. No State Legislature even convened to consider the matter. In the case of Pennsylvania, the Legislature fled to avoid considering the matter.

It has never been alleged that a single one of the 306 votes for Biden/Harris was a forgery, that the Electors who casted them were impersonating someone else, or that the Legislatures had secretly appointed other Electors.

There is zero space for an allegation of fraud in the Constitutional Presidential election of December 14, 2020.

As far as the 51 elections which occurred on November 3, 2020, they may very well have been rife with fraud, but since the appointment power of the 50 State Legislatures (535) and Congress (3) is plenary, that’s a problem for those legislatures to deal with should they choose to do so.

“Even many conservatives fall for the left’s narrative each and every time.”

But are they real conservatives, really? As a conservative, my go-by is...if any Democrat, RINO or lamestream media says it, it’s automatically a blatant lie and propaganda. Hasn’t failed me yet.
