FEC Commissioner Reminds Bragg That Officials Concluded Trump Case Isn't 'a Campaign Finance Violation'
“I don't know how you get around the evidence that both the Department of Justice in their investigation of the federal campaign finance issues and the Federal Election Commission in their ultimate jurisdiction over campaign finance issues, neither of them...
So… the “falsification of business records” is a misdemeanor and it only becomes a felony if it was done to cover up “another crime”. And the “other crime” the “falsification of business records” was used to “cover up” was a campaign finance law “violation” which the FEC has already ruled didn’t exist? Got it!

One thing that resonated was that the Military cannot take over civilian courts unless there is indisputable evidence that the civilian side has been compromised.
and here we are
A state has pressed 34 felony charges which specifically say that in order to be a felony, the books mismanagement occurred to hide another crime.
The federal executive already concluded there was no other crime. The state knew this and went forward anyway.
furthermore, this DA (executive branch) has convinced a grand jury and the court (judicial branch) that all of this is legal (when it clearly is not).
We've had multiple juries do interviews just giddy that they "got him"
If anything felt like a marker, this is it.
"One thing that resonated was that the Military cannot take over civilian courts unless there is indisputable evidence that the civilian side has been compromised."
The catch, as always, is who gets to decide what constitutes "indisputable evidence?"
Bragg knows nothing about the indictment, because he didn't write it. AI software wrote it, and would select potential jurors too.

humans have agency
tools do not
even if we accept the premise, the people who are responsible must take the blame, top to bottom.
just like it's the person who pulled the trigger at fault, never the weapon.
It's all moot, Bragg has no case because DJT formally resigned all of his business positions before he became President, the dates of the payments to Cohen were all made by the delegated TrumpCo executives and not DJT. President Trump held no legal authority to make the alleged payments.
Excellent point.

Bullet Tooth Tony:s line in the pub comes to mind...
Admittedly I don't have a clear understanding of New York law but it would appear to me that to use cover up of a second crime to enhance the charged crime, you would first have to prove guilt for the second crime. You can only prove guilt through a judicial process not by simple accusation. This would require indictment for this second crime followed by conviction or guilty plea. Isn't the district attorney trying to put the horse before the cart.
The second crime does not have to be proven, or even exist. The New York statute requires only intent (although intent does have to be proven).
Intent to cover up a "nothing"?...
Something along the lines of “We don’t know if paying for X is legal or not, but if we record it as a business expense instead of as paying for X we won’t have to find out” would likely show sufficient intent to trigger the felony escalation.
I agree. Innocent until proven guilty on the so called underlying crime.
Is multiple counts of illegal search and seizure (in order to cobble together enough evidence to still not find a crime) a crime?
After all we know that the left Likes to go after DJT for things that the themselves are Guilty of...
"I don't know how you get around the evidence..." You do it by being stupid enough to ignore the evidence.
