Trump's New York Indictment Turns One Hush Payment Into 34 Felonies
Prosecutors are counting each record misrepresenting the former president's reimbursement of that payment as a separate crime.
The New York indictment of former President Donald Trump, which was unsealed on Tuesday, includes 34 felony counts. All of them are related to a 2016 payment aimed at keeping porn star Stormy Daniels from telling the press about her alleged 2006 affair with Trump.
Although there was nothing inherently criminal about that hush payment, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, a Democrat, has transformed it into nearly three dozen felonies through a tricky two-step process. First, Bragg portrays the payment as a violation of federal election law. Second, he claims Trump repeatedly falsified business records to cover up that uncharged and unproven crime. Yet the underlying conduct, while salacious, still does not seem serious enough to justify the first-ever prosecution of a former U.S. president, especially when the defendant is seeking that office again by running against an incumbent who is a member of the district attorney's party.
Prior to the 2016 presidential election, former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen paid Daniels $130,000 to keep her story out of the press, and Trump later reimbursed him with a series of checks. Federal prosecutors viewed the payment to Daniels as an excessive campaign contribution, a characterization that Cohen accepted in a 2018 guilty plea. But although Cohen said he was acting at Trump's behest, the Justice Department never prosecuted Trump, even after he left office. In 2021, an evenly divided Federal Election Commission (FEC) declined to pursue charges against Trump, his business, or his campaign.
The New York indictment nevertheless alleges that Trump "violated election laws" when he instructed Cohen to pay Daniels. That claim is based on the assumption that the payment was aimed at influencing the election rather than avoiding personal embarrassment and/or sparing Melania Trump's feelings. While that inference seems plausible given the payment's proximity to the election, it is not clear that the Justice Department's reading of the law in Cohen's case was correct.
Former FEC Chairman Bradley Smith thought not. "The best interpretation of the law," he wrote after Cohen's guilty plea, "is that it simply is not a campaign expense to pay blackmail for things that happened years before one's candidacy—and thus nothing Cohen (or, in this case, Trump, too) did is a campaign finance crime." At the very least, Smith said, "it is unclear whether paying blackmail to a mistress is 'for the purpose of influencing an election,' and so must be paid with campaign funds, or a 'personal use,' and so prohibited from being paid with campaign funds."
It is also unclear whether Trump, who seemed confused about what federal election law requires, "knowingly and willfully" violated it, as would be required for a criminal conviction. Still, let's assume federal prosecutors could have made that case but for some unknown reason decided not to try. How does Trump's alleged violation of federal election law become a felony under New York law, let alone 34?
The indictment, as expected, is based on a state law that makes it a misdemeanor to falsify business records "with intent to defraud." That offense becomes a Class E felony, punishable by up to four years in prison, when the defendant's "intent to defraud includes an intent to commit another crime or to aid or conceal the commission thereof."
The indictment says Trump violated that law 34 times by falsely recording Cohen's reimbursement as payment for legal services under a nonexistent retainer agreement. It cites Cohen's invoices, Trump's checks and check stubs, and Trump Organization ledger entries, each of which is listed as a separate count. And since Trump allegedly falsified those records to conceal "another crime," each of those counts is charged as a felony.
Last November, The New York Times reported that prosecutors working for Bragg's predecessor, Cyrus R. Vance Jr., "concluded that the most promising option for an underlying crime was the federal campaign finance violation to which Mr. Cohen had pleaded guilty." But "the prosecutors ultimately concluded that approach was too risky—a judge might find that falsifying business records could only be a felony if it aided or concealed a New York state crime, not a federal one." Yet contrary to speculation that Bragg would allege another violation of state law as the underlying crime, the indictment mentions only the federal offense that was never prosecuted.
That is problematic not only because of the concern noted by the Times. If Trump did not understand federal election law, which Smith argues is hazy on this point, and/or did not anticipate how federal prosecutors would interpret it, he did not "knowingly and willfully" violate it. And if he did not believe he had committed a crime, how could he have falsified business records with the intent of concealing it?
The "statement of facts" accompanying the indictment describes two other cases in which Trump or an ally allegedly tried to cover up politically damaging information. Cohen arranged for the National Enquirer to pay former Playboy model Karen McDougal $150,000 for her story about sex with Trump, which it kept under wraps. Cohen said he did that at Trump's direction, and he pleaded guilty to soliciting an illegal corporate campaign contribution. The statement of facts also mentions a $30,000 "catch and kill" payment from the Enquirer to a former Trump Tower doorman who claimed to have information about a child Trump had fathered out of wedlock. But neither of these incidents figures in the New York charges against Trump, all of which derive from the payment to Daniels.
Trump "repeatedly and fraudulently falsified New York business records to conceal criminal conduct that hid damaging information from the voting public during the 2016 presidential election," says the statement of facts. "The Defendant orchestrated a scheme with others to influence the 2016 presidential election by identifying and purchasing negative information about him to suppress its publication and benefit the Defendant's electoral prospects. In order to execute the unlawful scheme, the participants violated election laws and made and caused false entries in the business records of various entities in New York."
At bottom, however, this case is about a single hush payment that was criminal only if it is construed as a campaign contribution. That interpretation is, at best, debatable, as illustrated by the unsuccessful federal prosecution of former North Carolina senator and Democratic vice presidential nominee John Edwards in a similar but seemingly stronger case. If the attempt to keep Daniels quiet does not strike you as an offense worthy of 34 felony charges, you are unlikely to change your mind simply because the Trump Organization kept pieces of paper that mischaracterized the reimbursement for that payment.

Trump’s New York Indictment Turns One Hush Payment Into 34 Felonies
So Trump paid a hooker. This is one act of prostitution that has ENB conflicted.
So Bragg’s indictment said that Trump paid Daniels to cover up a crime, but he doesn’t cite the code section of the crime that action covered up. Was that because FEC violations are Federal matters and the Feds did not charge Trump with any crime? Wouldn’t you have to have a provable crime to base this case upon?
Did Bragg’s law degree come from Stanford? This is about the worst excuse of a charging document that I’ve ever seen. Are there attorneys and law professors in this nation supporting this travesty? If so, quit your job and get a job mining coal!
Did Bragg’s law degree come from Stanford?
Equity!
Stanford? I thought he found his diploma at the bottom of a box of Fruit Loops.
“So Trump paid a hooker.” … Kudos to Unicorn Abattoir, who gets it!!!
Dirt-poor hookers (and their “Johns” and pimps) get punished for turning $50 and $100 tricks, butt the rich, high, and mighty go un-punished!!! Not fair! Either “Hooker Hulk Hogan” or Trump should be punished for violating “equal pay”! Hear me out!
See https://reason.com/blog/2016/03/18/florida-jury-awards-115-million-to-hulk# … About Hooker Hulk Hogan… “Hooker Hulk” gets $115 MILLION, v/s “Stormy Daniels” gets only $130 K, for each of them being skanky hos. The MALE skanky ho gets almost THREE orders of magnitude more money!!! How is THAT for sexual equality?!
But what gets my bowels in an uproar even more, is that through the courts and policemen enforcing court orders and/or contracts here in these kinds of cases, Government Almighty is the Pimp Daddy and hit-man enforcer of it all! And then they go and jail $50 and $100 poor hookers, to “protect us from trafficking in sex slaves”.
If Government Almighty is going to be the Big Pimp Daddy and hit-man enforcer, for the rich and famous, then could they PLEASE stop being hypocrites, and stop punishing the “little people” for doing the same things!??!
SIDE-BAND SNIDE COMMENT:
As a socio-economic and sexual-political experiment, I think someone should get Hooker Hulk Hogan to fuck Stormy Daniels. Which of the two would owe how much money, to the other?
MAIN COMMENT:
I think I have fingered out WHY does Government Almighty play Big Pimp Daddy to the rich and famous, while punishing the dirt-poor hookers?! When $130 k or $115 million gets thrown around, Government Almighty gets to tax the payment and the lawyers, and grab at least 1/3 of it. Easy-peasy on the big transactions… When a small-time hooker turns a trick “under the table” (a kinky place to do it!), it is MUCH harder to collect! Especially if he or she is paid in smack or crack or Ripple wine…
I am UTTERLY crushed to have fingered out that Government Almighty (which claims to LOVE me and want to PROTECT me from sleazy sex), is actually just wanting to line its own wallet!!!
Actually after the latest 9th circuit the hooker ows trump more than 600k.
Trump got a hooker to pay for him
You don’t pay them for sex. You pay them to leave.
Unlike those three pre op tranny hustlers that went airtight on her last night while her husband jacked off in the corner.
Remember too Buckley v Valero — the candidate can spend as much of his own money as he wants.
And the lawyer’s expenses, eg filing fees, get passed on to the client as legal expenses, itemized if the lawyer is ethical.
I am making a good salary from home $6580-$7065/week , which is amazing under a year ago I was jobless in a horrible economy. I thank God every day I was blessed with these instructions and now it’s my duty to pay it forward and share it with Everyone,
🙂 AND GOOD LUCK.:)
Here is I started.…………>> GOOGLE WORK
The indictment, as expected, is based on a state law that makes it a misdemeanor to falsify business records “with intent to defraud.” That offense becomes a Class E felony, punishable by up to four years in prison, when the defendant’s “intent to defraud includes an intent to commit another crime or to aid or conceal the commission thereof.”
Since he is obviously guilty on these flimsy charges Donnie should plea bargain to three months in minimum security prison. Sounds fair. He can run his campaign from there.
Now for the other three more serious coming indictments.
LOL
I found that language odd. “Intent to defraud”.
Who?
How?
He defrauded himself by cutting a check to his lawyer and writing “retainer” in the memo field instead of “hush money” in some and “legal fees” in others?
I still haven’t had someone explain to me how an NDA is not a legal document and Trump being the face of his company this wouldn’t be a legitimate business expense.
Also, Cohen told the FEC he did not get reimbursed. He might need to provide some evidence…and, well, his word is not worth much.
He would definitely make for a bad witness.
You think Trump wrote him those checks as gifts?
I think Bragg is the one who belongs in prison. And a number of other democrats who can be prosecuted with real evidence in Republican controlled areas.
You and your fellow travelers will suffer for this.
I listened to Andrew McCarthy being interviewed by Andrew Wilkow talking about that. Trump can absolutely make that argument.
Have I mentioned that turd, the ass-clown of the commentariat, lies? It’s all he ever does. turd is a kiddie diddler, and a pathological liar, entirely too stupid to remember which lies he posted even minutes ago, and also too stupid to understand we all know he’s a liar.
If anything he posts isn’t a lie, it’s totally accidental.
turd lies; it’s what he does. turd is a lying pile of lefty shit.
How much time should you get for child porn?
Heh heh heh… BOTH looter parties’ elected prostitutes piece together these crimethink quilts hoping to catch the serfs, peons, doormen, waitresses and small-time entrepreneurs. Now the bomb they so carefully wired up is exploding in their red faces. Alternating here between schadenfreude, laughter and cynical smirking.
Coldcase chucklers of the meaner sort from the Alabama roundtree railmaster boondoggle will remember that the main spring began the leak. If the god’s own chuckle inspectors remembered their history, they would have remembered the Cornlaws and the Kentucky hustle.
Priceless!
That’s exactly the way I remember it, and I wasn’t there
Damn, mom just cracked an egg of knowledge all over my head
I keep hearing about them, but, I don’t see them. How’s their Unicorn hunt going?
This weak BS is like the dull middle 40 minutes of a poorly paced 2 hour movie.
Can we get to the exciting parts please? I was told he was selling nuclear secrets to America’s enemies. Let’s focus on that juicy storyline. 🙂
#BadWriting
I think I heard that there isn’t going to be any action until December.
All the motions regarding statute of limitations, change of venue, and prosecutorial misconduct will be dismissed. So December it will be.
Yeah, it sounds like this judge is in the tank for the traitor party.
It’s like a porn movie with an unneeded monologue by one of the performers.
The director keeps sticking his mug in the shot and making gross comments.
LOL – I opined elsewhere that in NYC (which I left many years ago), Bragg could probably indict Trump for assassinating Abraham Lincoln, the Lindberg baby kidnapping, and being the mastermind behind the Rosenbergs’ treason.
Wait until every other two-bit local DA piles on charges of mopery, littering, jaywalking, and illegal parking and snows Trump under hundreds of prosecutions until Election Day 2024. And there won’t be a single Republican prosecutor to respond in kind against Puddinhead Joe because that would be an unseemly sinking to their level.
One observation: since we are now saying that burying the Stormy Daniels story is “interfering in the election” and therefore criminal…..
Does this mean that CNN, NBC, ABC, the NYT, Facebook, Google, YouTube, CBS, NPR, PBS et al interfered in the election by burying the Hunter Biden laptop story and the Joe Biden bribery story?
Are the federal agents involved also guilty of “interfering in an election”?
Does this make every paycheck cut by the NYT, every copy of the paper, every GL entry of every payment, salary, advertising receipt… every single record of their business activity that didn’t list it as “election campaign contributions in kind” count as a felony falsified record?
Ooh, and several of those are in Manhattan. That should be a cakewalk for this prosecutor then.
Right?
Something about hobgoblins…
Oh revenge is a dish best served cold.
That’s (D)ifferent.
Trump allegedly had personal knowledge that Stormy Daniels’ story was true when he made the payments and falsified the business records. Maybe he didn’t? Maybe he’s just a very generous man?
The jury can decide who to believe.
Declining to publish (which you call “burying”) questionable information is not fraud of any kind. Nor is declining to publish unquestionably true information, for that matter.
What Trump is accused of doing is no crime.
Norhing of what you describe of what Trump did is a crime
This is going to be very entertaining as Obama is brought to justice..Clinton, Biden, Bush…Schumer..Pelosi..I’m sure some young aggressive pro liberty DA’s will tell Paul Ryan to blank himself and go after all of them. Brennen the commie would be a good start. Grab the popcorn..this is just starting..
Anyone who has committed a crime should be prosecuted. If there are un-prosecuted crimes not barred by an applicable statute of limitations, have at it.
Why do you think that would be a problem?
The problem is if the alleged conduct is not a crime or if the staturte of limitations have already passed.
This is not the first bullshit indictment.
https://ethicsalarms.com/2014/08/17/ethics-dunces-abc-news-jonathan-karl-and-the-sunday-morning-roundtable/
Was Michael McCrum disbarred?
Get a load of Inspector Javert over here.
“If there are un-prosecuted crimes not barred by an applicable statute of limitations, have at it.”
What does the “statute of limitations” have to do with it? It sure went away real fast in the Cosby case.
After six years, the charges are over an accounting discrepancy?
This is such a joke.
The special prosecutor in the classified docs has already retreated to obstruction as a process crime.
We intended to arrest Trump for having nuclear secrets. Not having nuclear secrets means Trump has obstructed our justice.
There is no discrepancy. Trump recorded the expenses as “legal expenses”, as opposed to a gift. As a result he paid more in taxes.
Apparently, that’s a felony now.
Legal expenses would be more likely to be tax deductible than a gift. If so, he may have also committed tax fraud. Well spotted!
No, he didn’t, you dumb bitch. Feds already looked at all of this and declined to take action. But go ahead and continue to be a stupid cunt.
An accounting discrepancy with a 5 year statute of limitations, no less.
So, yeah. Just not the “ha ha” kind of joke.
When you’ve lost Sullum on something Trump…..
Yeah. I was expecting to see his TDS on full display, yet, it was a far more levelheaded article than he’s done on Trump recently.
Maybe he finished emptying his balls before he wrote this one. It’s probably been a marathon session of TDS erotic fan fiction for him this last week.
Ok serious question here. State court cases get moved to the federal courts frequently. The NY state judge in this case reputedly suffers from a severe case of TDS which as we all know prevents it’s victims from rational thinking. As this case relies on a federal statute it’s clearly outside the jurisdiction of both the prosecutors and the judge. Seems to me Trump should have the case moved to a federal court if the state court doesn’t dismiss it. That obviously doesn’t guarantee he would get a fair trial but he’s probably got much better odds in the federal appellate system. I like to see SCOTUS get it’s hands on this. Also along with their motion to dismiss they should demand sanctions against Bragg for bringing this frivolous case.
The case can only be moved with the judge’s consent and only if there is federal jurisdiction. But federal courts have no jurisdiction over NY business records, and Trump didn’t violate any federal laws.
Bragg’s case depends on Trump having violated federal election law…
And Bragg has no authority to go after anyone under a federal statute. That’s the DoJ’s bailiwick.
-jcr
No, criminal cases don’t usually get removed to federal court (unless it’s a civil rights case). I think you’re just shamelessly shopping for those elusive “loyal” Trump-appointed judges…
But he can have a separate trial on separate federal charges, if he wants (and he’s prosecuted for it), given there is no “double jeopardy” when the prosecutions are by different sovereigns.
Lol. Trump wasn’t even in NYC the days listed as the crimes occurring per Bragg.
Bragg wants the trial to start dec 2023 right before the primaries. Lol.
Could it be any clearer to the Fuckers defending this as not a political charge?
Where Trump was when he committed the fraud is probably not an issue, given the records were New York records.
But, be sure to send your insightful comments to his legal (and soon-to-be-unpaid) dream team–maybe you’re onto something?
Is this ‘obviouslynotspam’ a new cunt? Or one of our regular cunts?
Condescending little prick, isn’t he?
Okay then. Note: I don’t like Trump one bit. Not as President and even less as a human being. But this seems like a steaming pile of bull shit.
So… remind me… what did the other looter party’s guy get impeached for 19DEC1998?
Lying under oath, an actual felony
Lying under oath. And notice he only got impeached and not arrested for lying under oath.
There’s a big fucking difference here, Hank, but you’re too senile and tribalist to spot it.
Which was clearly a mistake. Trump learned from that incident and decided he wouldn’t get prosecuted, either.
Hank really is a senile old hippie peace of shit leftist.
We get it. You don’t like good presidents.
I’ll say this for Trump: he has a lot of the right enemies.
Very true. Like him, don’t like him, he’s got the right enemies. They’re also our enemies here (at least for most of the commentariat).
I’m with you. Trump is a horrid person and president, but this indictment is a complete dumpster fire.
“Okay then. Note: I don’t like Trump one bit. Not as President and even less as a human being. But this seems like a steaming pile of bull shit.”
TDS-addled shitpile heard from.
Fuck off and die, asshole.
Oh, come on Reason, this is what you wanted to write:
The indictment of former President Trump, as well as the ongoing legal proceedings, are a return to political norms under President Biden. They demonstrate the impartiality of the judicial system and the commitment to uphold the rule of law. This comes as a relief after the four years of chaos and authoritarianism under Trump, where concerns about the erosion of democratic institutions and the independence of the justice system were widespread.
A return to political norms! Aren’t you happy! /sarc
Here’s hoping God’s Own Prohibitionists double down on reenslaving women voters, shooting and robbing hippies blacks and latinos over twigs and seeds and using Comstockism to make it cost ten dollars to send a letter by mail–with censors steaming open every letter and package. And let THEM feel it on THEIR hides as well!
Does this dude know that literally nobody knows what the fuck his word salad posts mean?
No. I think he’s too far gone for that. I suspect he’s lived inside his libertarian delusion (as he’s really just a filthy old hippie with a few shreds of libertarian ideas).
Its posts are in a league with the spastic asshole’s, so it’s not worth the time to even skim them to find a semblance of sense.
ChatGPT can translate it for you:
In this blog post, the author expresses hope that Republicans will continue to focus on policies that may be seen as limiting women’s rights, increasing law enforcement actions against minorities for minor offenses, and advocating for stronger censorship and higher postal costs. The author also wishes for these consequences to be experienced by the party’s supporters.
Awesome!
Reliable source questions legitimacy of Braggs case:
The dubious legal theory at the heart of the Trump indictment, explained
No one knows if Donald Trump can be prosecuted for the hush money payment to Stormy Daniels.
…….
The felony statute requires Bragg to prove that Trump falsified records to cover up a crime. Bragg has evidence that Trump acted to cover up a federal crime, but it is not clear that Bragg is allowed to point to a federal crime in order to charge Trump under the New York state law.
.
The answer to this “gnarly legal question,” as Pomerantz put it, is simply unknown. So there is a serious risk that a New York judge will toss out the charges against Trump on technical legal grounds unrelated to the former president’s actual conduct.
.
And even if Bragg’s legal team convinces New York’s own courts that this prosecution may move forward, there is also a very real danger that the Supreme Court of the United States, with its GOP-appointed supermajority, could decide that it needs to weigh in on whether Trump should be shielded from this prosecution.

Wow, Ian Milhouse had to admit that?
The same Ian Milhouse whose Twitter is full of drama queen dreck like “I criticize Trump, hardly anyone in the media does that because it takes sooooooooo much courage, miraculously I haven’t been arrested yet, this message will repeat tomorrow if it remains true”?
Let’s end this boring chapter ASAP and get to the NUCLEAR INSURRECTION stuff.
#PatienceWearingThin
“but it is not clear that Bragg is allowed to point to a federal crime in order to charge Trump under the New York state law.”
But it’s perfectly clear that Bragg is alluding to an unknown federal crime in order to charge Trump.
And since Trump hasn’t been convicted of any federal crime, the allusion is exactly that, which means Bragg is essentially willfully filing false charges.
It is hardly an “unknown” federal crime. It is a specific alleged campaign law violation, for which he was not charged (but Cohen, who was inconveniently not a sitting US President at the time, was). The notion that an uncharged federal crime can be the “another crime” which changes these charges from second degree to first degree is somewhat novel, but it is not unheard of.
But it is indeed amusing how you gloss over the numerous misdemeanor crimes underlying the felony enhancement. Sure, without the federal crime in this case, Trump may not be a “felon” if convicted in New York (at least, not yet), but he’d still be a criminal, and could spend up to a year in jail.
The problem is, the underlying conduict in question was not a crime.
It’s much worse than this. Not only hasn’t he been charged for the alleged federal crime, the DOJ looked at the evidence and DECLINED to charge him. Funny how you gloss over that little detail.
In your mind, that’s of no import.
Trump was an un-indicted co-conspirator #1. Cohen pled guilty and is the other party to the conspiracy. Trump wasn’t charged because by the time Cohen was charged Trump was the sitting president and the DOJ policy is to not indict a sitting president. So he was investigated – the evidence showed he committed the same crime Cohen did -but because of his status as president they declined to pursue it. Funny how you gloss over that little detail.
In Cohen’s plea, the factual basis for the plea, was that he admitted these actions and payoffs were done and orchestrated with the specific purpose of NOT hurting his election chances against Hillary. Cohen presumably testified to the same facts to the Bragg grand jury in NYC. That the purpose of the scheme was to help his presidential election (or at least not hurt it).
turd, the ass-clown of the commentariat, lies; it’s all he ever does. turd is a kiddie diddler, and a pathological liar, entirely too stupid to remember which lies he posted even minutes ago, and also too stupid to understand we all know he’s a liar.
If anything he posts isn’t a lie, it’s totally accidental.
turd lies; it’s what he does. turd is a lying pile of lefty shit.
When you, as a progressive have lost Vox…
Well, to be fair to Bragg, this is his first attempt to make a felony from a misdemeanor, instead of his preference, making misdemeanors out of violent felonies.
After leaving my previous job 12 months ago, i’ve had some good luck to learn about this website which was a life-saver for me… They offer jobs for which people can work online from their house. My latest paycheck after working for them for 4 months was for $4500… Amazing thing about is that the only thing required is simple typing skills and access to internet…

The libs know (in their collective unconscious) that the dems are corrupt, election rigging, self-serving & repulsive. They know they rioted & funded Biden to steal the 2020 election. The entire upper middle class left is complicit. That’s why they NEED TO project it onto Trump.
You sound rational, don’t you?
More than you and your leftist bullshit. Now fuck off.
So, to be convicted of the supposed underlying federal crime, one has to “willingly and knowingly” violate campaign finance law, but no one who has authority can say that the action violated the law, so there is no way to prove Trump “willingly and knowingly” broke tge law. The charges are crippled on their face, because it is probable there was no original crime, and more than reasonable doubt on proving it.
Reasonable doubt if you’re not a brain dead moron. I am unconvinced he could find a jury not comprised of those people.
It was exposed on NewsMax all the supposed NDA payments, hush money if you prefer, which are not illegal in anyway, were made after Jan. 2017 after the 2016 election. So exactly how did that change the election?
DA Braggs should be disbarred and charged with proprietorial crimes.
Presumably, the agreement between Trump and Cohen was made to do something before (and thus capable of influencing) the election, the payment for which Trump would pay to Cohen after the election.
Of course, you then have to show that paying the hush money was in fact a crime.
Anything’s possible when you have an activist democrat (corrupt) judge.

Good for them. Somebody needs a Mortal Kombat finish him gif with Brandon on it. Why elect a union-owned lefty when you can elect a union-owned uber lefty. Drive that bitch into the ground even further.
If the democrats would all commit suicide this country would be saved overnight.
Alvin Bragg is targeting Donald Trump for purely political reasons. The goal is not to send Trump to prison, but an attempt to hamper his ability to successfully campaign for president.
This is in sorts a campaign contribution to the Biden Campaign for reelection and the DNC and using better logic and facts than the convoluted legalistic twisting of the law that the indictment contains.
Personally, I don’t like Trump and don’t want him to be president. However, I do believe in fairness and Trump is being held to a much different standard than other former office holders. There seems to be a growing double standard where opposition to the Democrats are persecuted and now prosecuted.
The Biden regime is much more authoritarian than previous administrations and very alarming when honestly reflecting on his executive orders and other maneuvers. While I dislike Trump and strongly oppose him, Biden is a vastly worse president and is a threat to our individual freedoms. Neither should be president.
Right now, DeSantis is the only other reasonable choice.
I always mentioned arepas to Sarait when talking about this.
