“Trump is charged with violating a New York state law that forbids false entries in a business accounting ledger.”
Which is a misdemeanor. The reason Trump is being charged with felonies is that prosecutors argue he made the false entries in an effort to hide other crimes.
Once again, I agree.
However, they have yet to identify what the other crime is.
Trying to influence a federal election?
Whoops!
State of New York - prosecuting a federal crime?
State of New York - prosecuting prostitution from another state?
Two weeks into the case, and we still do not know what the underlying crime is.
Also - think about the precedent this sets in New York state.
Every business ledger in the state has Legal Fee entries that can now be examined with a Legal Microscope!
