No crime in sight yet. And no smoking gun.

The only purpose of that would be to embarrass Trump.

The poster meant AN ACTUAL CRIME, not expired misdemeanors tethered to a state election law that never applied to Trump as a presidential candidate.

Exactly, what does this tawdry stuff have to do with allegedly falsified business records?

I agree with you, but he was charged with an actual crime, it’s our conclusion that it’s a bunch of malarkey.

The ex-controller to the Trump organization testified that he approved labeling the business ledger entries in dispute without instructions, direct or indirect, from Trump. End of story.

Who is doing the cross examination? In a perfect world it would be Tony Buzbee out of Houston. That would be a blast to watch. Tony is amazing. I loved this in the Paxton trial:

More of Tony from Paxton trial:

I’ve seen Tony read a box of documents and read every page back off the top of his head.

They haven’t even identified the federal statute that Trump supposedly violated, yet. Never mind that the state of New York doesn’t have authority to prosecute federal crimes.

A "crime" which nobody can specify. Maybe you should write "alleged crime."

No, he was charged with falsification of business records in the first degree, penal law 175.10. That is the actual crime.

We both know it’s a BS charge, but to say he wasn’t charged with a crime is just stupid.

I see what you meant. The 175.10 charge depends on the commission of another crime. That is what they have not explained, the "other crime," and my opinion is that holding a trial based on that is legal sophistry, just to confuse a NY jury into "convicting Trump of a felony" in an election year. Unfortunately, the penalty for malicious prosecution in NY does not include jail time.

If the law supposes that," said Mr. Bumble, squeezing his hat emphatically in both hands, "the law is a ass — a idiot.
