Best he can hope for is a hung jury and they will just have retrial after retrial after retrial.
Yep
Yes. First link I sent.
Be angry, but be factual.
100% of the NYC DA’s Office don’t have a clue about what laws Trump is accused of either.
Also, I see in your posting history that you are in the NY area and don’t like Trump.
Do you think Trump is so important that he is worth undoing our whole legal system (what separates us from any third-world banana republic) to get rid of him?
Why does everyone here say the DA won’t state what the underlying crime is? The underlying crime is violating the NY State election laws, was stated in opening arguments, and is repeated constantly in coverage of the trial.
Based on what I’ve seen in DC courtrooms, I’m surprised that anyone can fail the bar exam there.
New York people are invincibly ignorant.
When did Trump get charged with paying off a hooker?
and it is public knowledge this war was instigated by those down on The Farm ( Langley)and all its tentacles and continues to be led by them. These are our overlords and masters
Hooker said she didn’t do that
Don’t agree with the premise of your question.
not surprising for dems
they will destroy our constitutional system of government to get what they want
“by any means necessary” is not some fringe motto
it is the dems platform
they will destroy their own natural rights to achieve power
they have gone full collectivist
From your first link:
” During the election, TRUMP and others employed a “catch and kill” scheme to identify, purchase, and bury negative information about him and boost his electoral prospects. TRUMP then went to great lengths to hide this conduct, causing dozens of false entries in business records to conceal criminal activity, including attempts to violate state and federal election laws. “
What election laws? Where did Bragg cite them? When was Trump arrested and charged with those crimes, and when was he convicted? Where in his filings does Bragg give that critical information?
What state election law? Give me the statute that he broke.
Have fun with your rage posting.
If your scenario is supposed to be about Trump and Stormy Daniels, the analogy breaks down because Trump denies they ever had sex and Stormy Daniels is on record saying that it never happened. She was blackmailing Trump in 2016 by threatening to claim they had sex—which would potentially have cost Trump votes because some people would believe the allegations even without a shred of evidence.
Bragg spoke to several things like "conspiring to [unintelligible] a candidacy by unlawful means, false statements intended to be used in attack stories" (AKA negative ads) and "federal election law caps on contribution limits" (which would be outside his jurisdiction) but did not charge it.
How can Bragg use a felony to bootstrap dead misdemeanors without pointing to the felony or the person having been convicted of that felony first?
If Trump wasn't convicted of the underlying felony, then isn't it just conjecture on Bragg's part? Doesn't Trump have the presumption of innocence on the felonies that Bragg is using to bootstrap his misdemeanor charges?
Bragg says "the law doesn't require it."

What is the premise of my question that you don’t agree with?
Hypothetically speaking, would Trump be important enough to justify getting rid of judicial and evidentiary rules in order to stop him?
Bragg says that Trump committed election crimes and that’s supposed to be good enough, without stating the specific crimes and fleshing them out, much less proving them in a court of law? In what world is that acceptable?
