a shame it's not on his efforts to steal the election or keep classified docs

this case just about writing off his hush money as a legal expense & possibly also a campaign finance violation if proven done to protect campaign

here's hoping the case is strong, though not sure how it can be given he leaves no paper trail & doesn't let assistants keep notes either (just like all legitimate business leaders i'm sure)

it's plausible but doesn't seem what occurred

his mafia attorney said his claim was based on press reports

even his all caps counterfeit tweet says so if you follow the really long sentence "NOW [not] ILLEGAL LEAKS... INDICATE THAT... [criminal]... WILL BE ARRESTED ON TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK"

==================

"What exactly is he being charged with? "

possibly nothing, but he has the hush money payment that was [actually] illegally written off as a legal expense, which is a misdemeanor, but if they establish done for purpose of protecting his campaign [which is a campaign finance violation] then becomes a felony (so basically both those definitely happened, but they have to prove Trump personally involved beyond a reasonable doubt)


however, if you listen to fuckhead & his garbage news cloud you'd think he's being charged for fucking Stormy... even Giuliani was on Newsmax or Fox saying 'they didn't go after Bill Clinton for Monica so why going after Trump for Stormy?????'... um, maybe as nothing whatsoever in common

claiming the hush money as a legal expense let him write it off his taxes, pretty clear why that's not legal

& Cohen already got convicted on the campaign finance violation so obviously that was a crime

i don't see how whether he fucked her is relevant, & certainly isn't why he's being charged (despite what idiots on the Right keep pushing), but if it is, given she detailed his penis appearance, maybe he'll have to expose himself Michael Jackson style to confirm or deny

This entire case stinks on ice:

"[DA] Bragg is struggling to twist state laws to effectively prosecute a federal case long ago rejected by the Justice Department against Trump over his payment of “hush money” to former stripper Stormy Daniels. In 2018 (yes, that is how long this theory has been around), I wrote how difficult such a federal case would be under existing election laws. Now, six years later, the same theory may be shoehorned into a state claim.

It is extremely difficult to show that paying money to cover up an embarrassing affair was done for election purposes as opposed to an array of obvious other reasons, from protecting a celebrity’s reputation to preserving a marriage. That was demonstrated by the failed federal prosecution of former presidential candidate John Edwards on a much stronger charge of using campaign funds to cover up an affair.

In this case, Trump reportedly paid Daniels $130,000 in the fall of 2016 to cut off or at least reduce any public scandal. The Southern District of New York’s U.S. Attorney’s office had no love lost for Trump, pursuing him and his associates in myriad investigations, but it ultimately rejected a prosecution based on the election law violations. It was not alone: The Federal Election Commission chair also expressed doubts about the theory.

Prosecutors working under Bragg’s predecessor, Cyrus Vance Jr., also reportedly rejected the viability of using a New York law to effectively charge a federal offense.

More importantly, Bragg himself previously expressed doubts about the case, effectively shutting it down soon after he took office. The two lead prosecutors, Carey R. Dunne and Mark F. Pomerantz, resigned in protest. Pomerantz launched a very public campaign against Bragg’s decision, including commenting on a still-pending investigation. He made it clear that Trump was guilty in his mind, even though his former office was still undecided and the grand jury investigation was ongoing.

Pomerantz then did something that shocked many of us as highly unprofessional and improper: Over Bragg’s objection that he was undermining any possible prosecution, Pomerantz published a book detailing the case against an individual who was not charged, let alone convicted.

He was, of course, an instant success in the media that have spent years highlighting a dozen different criminal theories that were never charged against Trump. Pomerantz followed the time-tested combination for success — link Trump to any alleged crime and convey absolute certainty of guilt. For cable TV shows, it was like a heroin hit for an audience in a long agonizing withdrawal.

And the campaign worked. Bragg caved, and “America’s Got Trump” apparently will air after all.

However, before 12 jurors can vote, Bragg still has to get beyond a series of glaring problems which could raise serious appellate challenges later.

While we still do not know the specific state charges in the anticipated indictment, the most-discussed would fall under Section 175 for falsifying business records, based on the claim that Trump used legal expenses to conceal the alleged hush-payments that were supposedly used to violate federal election laws. While some legal experts have insisted such concealment is clearly a criminal matter that must be charged, they were conspicuously silent when Hillary Clinton faced a not-dissimilar campaign-finance allegation.

Last year, the Federal Election Commission fined the Clinton campaign for funding the Steele dossier as a legal expense. The campaign had previously denied funding the dossier, which was used to push false Russia collusion claims against Trump in 2016, and it buried the funding in the campaign’s legal budget. Yet, there was no hue and cry for this type of prosecution in Washington or New York.

A Section 175 charge would normally be a misdemeanor. The only way to convert it into a Class E felony requires a showing that the “intent to defraud includes an intent to commit another crime or to aid or conceal the commission thereof.” That other crime would appear to be the federal election violations which the Justice Department previously declined to charge.

The linkage to a federal offense is critical for another reason: Bragg’s office ran out of time to prosecute this as a misdemeanor years ago; the statute of limitations is two years. Even if he shows this is a viable felony charge, the longer five-year limitation could be hard to establish."

TL;DR, Bragg himself didn't want to prosecute this case, but was pressured into doing so after one of his zealous underlings decided to go on a media tour shilling his book about how Trump is guilty. This despite the fact that the charges against Trump would be unprecedented and the case against him is flimsy on both technical and substantial grounds.

Trump *might* still be found guilty, because NYC is the last place you could find an impartial judge and jury, but in a less corrupt shithole this who thing would be tossed out in minutes.

the left looking at the photo and concluding treason was the ridiculous part and the main reason why Trump responded like he did.

"they weren't trying to claim he put them on the floor"
the main stream media did.

President Trump didn't say he never knew where the documents were. His claim was that it was okay for him to have the documents. That being his claim then yeah of course it doesn't matter that he admits to having them.

He didn't say I don't have any documents. He said the documents I have are mine and have been declassified so I could have them.
The argument then became whether or not he could declassify them himself. That will eventually be decided.
You of course will as always invent your own outcome.

"The argument then became whether or not he could declassify them himself"

not really no... & no of course he can't declassify without anyone knowing... declassifying implies people fucking know it happened... he doesn't even claim he declassified them, he puts out general claims that he 'could have' done so... he's never given a single detail of it occurring bringing up ridiculous claims like he can do it just by thinking (but not saying that's what he did)... & no declassifying secretly, which isn't a thing, wouldn't then make the documents his property

the fact anyone entertains that as a possibility is idiotic, but to drive home how idiotic, here's the only statement ever released by Trump's team to news outlets (& posted on his website) & never retracted by Trump, about how the alleged declassification happened:

"As we can all relate to, everyone ends up having to bring home their work from time to time. American presidents are no different. President Trump, in order to prepare the work for the next day, often took documents, including classified documents, to the residence. He had a standing order that documents removed from the Oval Office and taken to the residence were deemed to be declassified the moment he removed them."

so not some rushed declassification at end of term that didn't get handled... some absurd standing order that makes no sense whatsoever, the ONLY possible reason to have such an order would be to prevent him from having classified docs (gee, the crime he just got caught doing!)

all docs he took home every weekend for 4 years just were to be idiotically declassified based on time & geography of when/where seen (actually it's even worse than i recall since says "to the residence", so that includes just his home area in the White House... no adults would ever have allowed such an order, and in fact zero people in the White House recall this order & multiple (including at least two of his Chiefs of Staff) claim it's insane & would never have been allowed for extremely obvious reasons

& why did they go w/ such a stupid explanation? as they know there will be no record of any of the docs being declassified

so no, he did NOT declassify them... it's an insanely obvious lie... he lies 100% of the time about any wrongdoing... completely proven multiple times

I don’t believe so... Cohen paid Stormy and Trump repaid him, then it was written off as a legal expense by Trump Org (at least that’s is my understanding)... and that’s the misdemeanor under consideration (& felony if they can tie it as a campaign finance violation for which Cohen already convicted based on the same facts, strongly suggesting it was a crime as known)

The funny thing about Trumps support in the public is that, the democrats have made him basically bullet proof by crying wolf so many times.

From day one, they have lobbied hundreds of accusations over and over, most of which have been shown over time to be complete falsehoods made up by people like HRC and Adam Schiff.

But then when they have accusation 2,467 they think anyone who doesn't beleive with religious fervor that Trump is the anti-christ will takenit seriously?

Dems do something similar all the time, where they overlay their hand so much so that it actually makes any valid point useless.

Take Jan 6th, they compared it to 9/11, "worst attack on our democracy since the civil war" and drones on about the deaths.

Well, the fact is, no one died there that day except for a female veteran a black supremacist murdered.

Some say 6 cops died, the fact is, that is 100% fairytale false, it never happened, it has less credibility than the Clinton hit list.

Worst attack on our democracy since the Civil war? The US initiated the civil war, so are they arguing a pro slavery stance?

"most of which have been shown over time to be complete falsehoods"

incorrect & zero hoaxes have been established out of the numerous hoaxes the fucking liar claims

the collusion investigation was NEVER about him & publicly known it was about the campaign in general... plus Trump Jr did every element of collusion he could (w/ Trump aware) & still unknown what Manafort was up to... & investigation was NOT a hoax, the Hillary lawyer/Alpha bank thing was nothing (plus no wrong-doing found in court anyway), the Steele dossier also not shown to be a hoax & also was NOT a major part of it despite Fox over & over pretending it was the core, so not caused by some Hillary hoax (nor Schiff)


some people exaggerating significance of J6 riot (although their goal WAS changing outcome of election on his lies & yes, with violence) doesn't change the fucking insane level of dangerous shit Trump was up to that the right doesn't care about AT ALL (pressuring -numerous- officials in multiple states to just chuck the votes & declare him winner based on things he was repeatedly told were false & trying to corrupt the DOJ to just lie & back him (w/ stooge traitor AG already picked & lie letter already drafted)... & many cultist traitors in legislatures on board, just not various key people... who he then tried replace as much as possible in midterms, luckily w/ limited success despite his claims of massive victory... but him being a failure doesn't make his acts any less dangerous)

impeachment #1 was established he did it, many R's agreeing... w/ him putting up zero people w/ a defense, while Dems -wanted- those around Trump to testify & him preventing it

impeachment #2 was on J6, he absolutely was the cause of that riot, stirring them up for months with his bullshit lies & inviting them & inciting them (despite 1 time saying 'peacefully' in a speech full of incitement & telling them the outcome was still changeable if that vote stopped)


plus he DID side w/ Putin in Helsinki, then told an obvious lie to the public when even Fox didn't back him... a crazy unfit act followed by a blatant lie & somehow that made it all fine


there's a life-long track record of him doing wrong... him just slipping out of it w/ settlements that have NDAs, abusing bankruptcy laws, straddling the line of fraud laws constantly, intimidating those who would expose him, & justice taking forever on criminal charges (or him being immune while 'president' which was stupid imo)

Whats really going to hammer left-wing dems is that they love to be soft on crime. Except in this case. A bit of tax evasion is the sort of low-end crime that a soros prosecutor would normally give the most benign slap on the wrist for. These clowns are handing out slaps on the wrist for armed robbery and all of a sudden want to hammer a misdemeanor tax evasion?

The hypocrisy is rank.

Its a technique predating RICO. Get mobsters and racketeers for anything and throw the book at them when you do.

Capone was famously sentenced to decades for tax evasion.

Nothing happened. If people got arrested for paying off a whore then a lot of men would be in jail.

"Nothing happened"

the -ONLY- source claiming an arrest today was Trump... who even said he was basing it on news reports (as did his spokespeople when asked why he was saying Tuesday)... however no news reporting ever said Tuesday... he's a fucking liar... i guess he made up a specific day in hopes of getting impressive protests (which didn't happen... sad!)


"If people got arrested for paying off a whore then a lot of men would be in jail"

not the crime in question... though it's what keeps getting churned out by garbage news so not your fault (other than for still watching/reading the garbage news)

You have a bit of a point, ill give you that. Youd have more of a point if trump was as clearly bad as capone was. Hes a shitty president but hes not gunning down rival gangsters.

Dont get me wrong, trump is enough of a douche that he deserves some time in prison... but having a far left prosecutor go after trump while being completely forgiving of most other crimes simply sends a message of hypocrisy and probably helps trump. People see the rank hypocrisy and dont like it, making them more likely to vote for the fucker.
