I'm confused, there are duplicates?
Entry of invoice from Michael Cohen Feb 14- um, it was entered, so what's false about it?
Entry of invoice number #voucher number 842457,- again, it was entered.
Entry in the Detail General Ledger for the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust, bearing voucher number 842460, OK, the number is different? But is this falsifying anything?
check and check stub dated February 14, 2017, bearing check number 000138
an invoice from Michael Cohen dated February 16, 2017 but from March 16, 2017- Difference from #1 is the dates, note it comes after the check, so could be a new transaction. So a little weird because the dates within the indictment don't match - it looks like maybe the invoice was created a month before it was transmitted.
an entry in the Detail General Ledger for the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust, bearing voucher number 846907 - different number from #3.
check and check stub dated March 17, 2017, bearing check number 000147 - different date and number from #4 - note that it was paid promptly
an invoice from Michael Cohen dated April 13, 2017 - no number this time, just diff date from #1 and #5 - still see nothing suspicious, just a monthly invoice.
entry in the Detail General Ledger for Donald J. Trump, bearing voucher number 858770 on Jun 19, 2017. Only differs in dat and number from #2 and #6
check and check stub dated June 19, 2017, bearing check number 002740, So differs but it is like #4 and #7
Another invoice from Michael Cohen dated May 22, 2017 - how sloppy, they have jumped back in time here we were already in the June records, now we go back to May? Like #1; #5 and #8
entry in the Detail General Ledger for Donald J. Trump, bearing voucher number 855331 on May 22, So correponds with #11 - so this is like #3; #6 and #9
check and check stub dated May 23, 2017, bearing check number 002700, like #4; #7 and #10
an invoice from Michael Cohen dated June 16, 2017, - seems to correpond with #9 and #10 - again this is out of sync. Perhaps to confuse everyone. Also, we had invoices from this party before at #1; #5 #8 and #11
Jun 19 an entry in the Detail General Ledger for Donald J. Trump, bearing voucher number 858772, just like before.
TLDR: I can't be arsed doing any more of this - it is just rinse and repeat - someone else can if they want. Here is a meticulous record of invoices, entries into ledgers and checks issued in groups. They differ in that they occurred in different months. It's called REPEAT business.
What are they gribbling about exactly? Lots of pompous language about how these were falsified, but how exactly? All this proves is that DJT paid his bills in time and kept damn records.
WOW
Badlands Media is reading it right now and commenting on it. https://rumble.com/v2g7o1o-badlands-media-special-coverage-trumps-indictment.html
Thanks for link. tuned in. they are confirming what I just said - they are going after a list of accounting records. But they are just there, for all to see. Records. where is the crime? Perhaps it is something to do with him being president, while his organization continued to do business?
Huh. Trump was not in NYC for any of this??

Is this relevant? this just proves that he has an accountant.
Imagine accounting records of HRC, FJB and the Kenyan!!! FOR ALL TO SEE!!!
So far they are saying that all these claims seem to be just parts of the same issue.
Reading the bullet points and the conclusion, I did laugh. But it's at the audacity of the situation. Which you rightly point out.
Besides, Stormy Daniels owes Trump money. A large sum, in fact. If anything, Stormy Daniels should be the one being punished.
I personally wonder if, in some way, she's financially benefiting from this Trump legal fiasco.
My theory is Democrats are paying for her to go through with all this, and that they put her up to it.
Book deals can be lucrative, except when Avenatti takes the money and runs.

she will be doing porn in her 80's still trying to pay off that debt.
Yea, the explainer is in the accompanying "statement of facts" released by the DA: https://embed.documentcloud.org/documents/23741794-donald-trump-statement-of-facts/?embed=1&responsive=1&title=1
The claim is that DJT and Trump Org wanted to reimburse Cohen, but didn't want it on the books what they were really paying him for. So, they had Cohen send invoices monthly for a retainer agreement which didn't actually exist, and they put that on the books when they cut him the checks.
IF. If it was illegal to pay for a non-disclosure. Um is it? Beware they are dressing this up in salacious details such as some sexual relationship. It has already been establshed that there was none of that, and Daniels now owes lots of money to Trump.
How do we know that Cohen's invoices and payments were NOT for other types of services rendered? How, do submitting the proof of the transactions as proof that something untoward happened? Is it illegal to reimburse someone when they invoice you?
Its almost like Cohen had a monthly retainer to be on call. it would be Weird if it was me invoicing trump for monthly shitposting services. But a corporation needing lawyers on call to keep the leaches and pornstars at bay seems smart.
I know right? So how does one prove that a retainer-to-be-on-call agreement that is transparent, and paid promptly, is actually recompensing hush-money? AKSH?UALLY - or whatever else the agreement was, because we simply ave no copy of a contract, and often these types of contracts are handshakes, whereby the documentation of payment is considered proof of doing business.
Saying that the crime is falsifying documents, means one has to prove falsification, i.e. that it was recorded wrongly. Easy when a wild night's bar-tab is written up as health and safety expenses, but even then, they would need proof that the drunken party took place as well as witnesses etc. The same counts for 10 000 dollar pizzas BTW.
But, what if it is a monthly check to a lawyer so that he can be Johnny-on-the-spot, just in case? He might cruise around doing not much waiting for one's call. How is that proved IRL. i.e.
It turns out DJT was a victim of extortion and the lady has to pay him - with proof. In which case, how does one pay hush-money for something that has been proven, in court, to categorically never have happened? Maybe the money was paid for something else/
He was arraigned, and voluntarily walked into court REEEeeeEEE noises, and they didn't even take a mugshot, because MAGA t-shirts would be made...
It will be hillaryarious when they find the real contract was for legitimate acting as she goes undercover to expose the criminal government enterprise.
