The DA addressed that n his press conference. It's not in the indictment because NY law doesn't require it to be. Every count states "in violation of penal law Section 175.10", it doesn't have to allege the crime the falsified record was trying to cover up.
I'm kind of surprised, I was expecting more of his tax evasion stuff to be thrown in too when the number of counts grew to 30+.
an accounting error..you funny...using campaign funds to pay off your mistress and then charging it as a legal fee = accounting error. lol
You mean the legal settlement that he paid to settle a law suit? Hmmm... seems a bit different than paying hush money to keep something secret and then trying to write it off your taxes as a business expense.
Get back to us when the statutes are amended to state that if someone else did something wrong, that no one else can ever be charged with that......
did he do it with campaign funds and then label it as a legal expense to help him avoid negative publicity that would impact his political future? If he did, charge him too.
After the DA’s PC, the CNN lawyers weren’t exactly impressed with the charges or rationale. If you can’t win over the CNN guys, the jury might be a tough sell. Still have to see the evidence though, and I do believe the misdemeanor case is solid, if they are within the SOL. My guess is that he gets convicted with the lower charges, everyone wins and everyone loses, and we fight about Trump all the way til Election Day again. Which is why the Georgia case matters so much. The other cases too, but that is the one that could impact things before the election most likely.
It was a joke. Hence the lol at the end. I’m sure you are far more qualified to assess these charges and their merits. I defer to you.
Don't worry, Rick, this will all balance out. Just give Marjorie Taylor Greene six months and she'll get to the bottom of the public urination in Washington DC crime wave. Some of the unrinators are probably Democrats, she might even snag a real, live communist.
An NDA isn’t a payoff. It is a binding legal agreement. There is nothing wrong with the NDA. NY has to prove the accounting was done in the manner it was in order to cover another crime.
How do you, or any other Trump apologists here, feel about the Michael Cohen conviction, for essentially the same thing and the same incident, prosecuted by the US attorney during the Trump administration?
