How Toxic Is Trump? Republican Group's Hidden Camera Reveals Uncomfortable Truth (msn.com)

“If Trump is too big of a liability to get a job at your local mall, he is too big of a liability to be president of the United States,” the voiceover says in the new video from Republican Voters Against Trump, which will air on Fox News, among other places.

The video features a job-seeker explaining his troubled past to prospective retail employers. “I’m currently facing 88 felonies,” he explains, adding that the charges include retention of classified information and falsifying business documents. He also mentions being found liable for sexual assault. “We run a full background,” one manager tells him, adding bluntly: “It won’t go through.”

The group said the spot will air nationally during “Morning Joe” on MSNBC and “Fox & Friends” on Fox News as well as digitally in the swing states of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, and is part of an ongoing $50 million ad campaign against Trump.

Republican Voters Against Trump has also been running spots featuring rank-and-file GOP voters explaining why they can’t support the former president ― and why they plan to vote for President Joe Biden instead.

 

is the fact that djt claimed the fees as business expense what made the scheme illegal? is that what meets the "unlawful means" in the second crime that makes the first one a felony?

Under New York state law, falsifying business records is a misdemeanor, unless it is done to further or conceal another crime. Then it can be charged, as it was in Trump’s case, as a felony. Since indicting Trump, prosecutors have often been vague about what, exactly, was the underlying crime that was allegedly being concealed or furthered.

In court Tuesday, Steinglass said the statute in question is state election law 17-152 — conspiracy to promote or prevent an election. That law makes it a misdemeanor when two or more people “conspire to promote or prevent the election of any person to a public office by unlawful means.”

 

reading this makes me more convinced that djt will be found guilty on the classified docs case too. the evidence is just overwhelming and he ignored those around him who told him to return the boxes to avoid indictment. I don't see Jared and Ivanka lying about these discussions and risk being charged. Imagine Ivanka testifying that she told dad that the records were not his to keep and he ignored her.

The witness claimed that they repeatedly urged Trump to return those records that the National Archives was requesting at the time, saying that it 'was not worth all that aggravation'.

The former president "sometimes needed to be messaged the same thing from multiple people close to him," the witness added, stating that they had advised Trump's children to issue the same warning.

The witness stated he had informed Trump's children, "There are issues with the boxes. They belong to the government, talk to your dad and about giving them back."

 

Im not an attorney. I can't rephrase what the prosecutor already stated.

as a juror, my question would be what unlawful means were used to influence the election.

if the law says using funds improperly tagged for taxes meets the requirement for unlawful means, he is guilty and it is a felony by the law.

there is no doubt that he falsified the claim and knew it was payoff money and that the payoff was intended to help his election.

it seems that if he paid the bill out of pocket, not via "unlawful means", no election fraud charge and therefore no felony. once again, the tax code bites the man trying to cheat it.
