Prosecutors in Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's office have finally revealed the underlying crime they allege Donald Trump was committing when he allegedly falsified business records.
According to Fox News, "New York prosecutor Joshua Steinglass on Tuesday said the other crime was a violation of a New York law called 'conspiracy to promote or prevent election.'"
That law, New York Law 17-152, reads:
"Any two or more persons who conspire to promote or prevent the election of any person to a public office by unlawful means and which conspiracy is acted upon by one or more of the parties thereto, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor."
Speaking of Michael Cohen, former National Enquirer owner David Pecker, and Donald Trump, Steinglass' co-counsel Michael Colangelo argued that in 2015:
"Those three men formed a conspiracy to influence the election."
However, none of the allegedly falsified business records were dated in 2015; every alleged instance was in 2017. The falsified payments are transactions in which Trump's business paid Cohen; Trump says the payments were for legal services and not reimbursement for any monies Cohen might have paid to Stormy Daniels.
Speaking of Daniels, she still owes Trump $300,000 plus interest after pursuing a frivolous lawsuit against him.

Will someone explain how it is possible to “buy the rights to a news story, so no one else can report it”?
Thanks for the clarification.
So what “unlawful means” were utilized?
unlawful means....define it...or examples...
What unlawful means is Bragg claiming Trump used?
This is all circular. Nothing actually points to a law that was broken, a crime that was committed, by Trump trying to get elected.
The alleged falsifications are only felonies if intended to hide a crime. The crime he’s supposedly hiding is that he tried to get elected using unlawful means.... We can go around this merry-go-round forever but there’s STILL no actual claim of what illegal activity Trump was trying to use, to get elected.
Biden has not a worry in the world
Why? They have nothing to fear, they’re inoculated.
“shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.”
All this over a misdemeanor.
Yup.
The Bidens have nothing to worry about.“
Exactly, Biden open bragged about extorting Ukraine to force them to fire their prosecutor in public forum. The scumbag was boasting about committing a felony and not for second did he worry about blowback. They fear nothing because they know.
And the sham trial continues. Who the hell is going to stop it?
Alvin Bragg and his minions should be charged with violating that law.
This is the equivalent of charging someone with conspiring in 2017 to commit a murder in 2015. WTF?
.
So - Donlad Trump was scheming to interfere in his election to state office? Otherwise, what jurisdiction does New York have over elections to federal office?
Are the Bidens worried? Nope. Not even a tiny little bit.
Thanks. I continued reading after posting that knee-jerk reaction and saw that. I have to stop doing that.
It's murky. Technically, it's the state Electors to the Electoral College who are being elected.

It is a STATE of New York Law that applies to State level candidates. Not Federal. This is total BS, not to mention the book entry statute of limitations ran out years ago. On the Federal level, the Federal elections decided this was a NOTHING burger. Not a campaign expense of issue- a simple NDA agreement which was signed by the Cohen clown and the daniels clownette of the large mammaries.
Isn’t every campaign meeting made to promote an election?
So am I breaking the law by simply voting for a candidate. I am attempting to promote one candidate and not support the others.
