It must smell like a Porto Potty around Donny at the end of the day after him sitting 8hrs with a soggy diaper
So many of you suspend all critical thinking on anything relating to Trump. This is the weakest case most prosecutors have ever laid eyes on. Falsifying business records in 2017 -- AFTER the election, after the statute of limitations has expired, journal entries aren't done by Trump (lol), and it's a misdemeanor that the FEC chose not to charge... and dumb, fat, diversity-hire Bragg turns this into a felony by linking it to another fake misdemeanor -- a violation of state election law. Yes, you read that right -- STATE election law. Not federal. There is no crime here. And after all the media coverage against Trump, the Russian collusion lie, the burying of the Hunter Biden laptop through outright lies and collusion... they have the gall to accuse Trump of election interference? Just totally absurd. Liberals have no self awareness whatsoever... which is why only roughly 1/3 of the country (the super libs) think this court case is legitimate... Former federal prosecutor Andrew Cherkasky said the theory put forward by Bragg under the statute is “bizarre.” “The misdemeanor statute of limitations is expired on this offense, just as it is expired on the underlying offense, raising a significant legal question about the propriety of this approach,” he told the DCNF. “One of the biggest issues in this case is that the prosecution has essentially withheld this theory until trial has started,” Cherkasky continued. “The defense has complained about this the entire time, but the judge has refused to require identification of the felony escalator at an earlier stage. This amounts to another form of ‘trial by fire,” which is not how the American criminal justice system is supposed to work. John Malcolm, vice president for the Heritage Foundation’s Institute for Constitutional Government and former deputy assistant attorney general in the DOJ’s Criminal Division, said there are three things about the revelation that “amaze” him as a former prosecutor. “First, that Alvin Bragg’s office did not provide advanced notice of the precise allegations in order to enable former President Trump’s legal team to prepare an adequate defense,” he said. “Second, that the statutory code section cited by the lead prosecutor (New York Penal Code Section 17-152) prohibits a conspiracy ‘to promote or prevent the election of any person to a public office by unlawful means …,’ but Bragg has still not divulged what those ‘unlawful means’ were.” “And third, and most shockingly, that penal code section is a misdemeanor, which means that Alvin Bragg is claiming that committing a misdemeanor (making a false business entry) in order to conceal the commission of another misdemeanor (conspiring to promote someone’s candidacy in an unlawful manner) can – like magic – be converted into 34 felony offenses,” he continued. Fahey told the DCNF that everything about the case “stinks to high heaven.” “If this was anyone other than Donald Trump, this would be laughed out of court,” he said. https://dailycaller.com/2024/04/24/...J8nNO642vE4rU1mvrz0VLWthVRHcTv18t2M8QJuypMYTw
Trump's legal defense should then be short. They should ask for summary judgement after the prosecutors rest their case. The judge will have no alternative but to declare Trump free and clear of all charges. Trump will be able to ride that wave all the way to victory in November. OTOH, you might be wrong.
When is the last time the FEC has charged someone? The FEC Office of General Counsel has recommended Trump be charged/investigated 29 times. The FEC commissioners then voted not to continue in votes of 3-3. Sometimes 2-2 if people have recused. There are 3 Dems and 3 Republicans. You have to have 4 to proceed. 29 times the Republicans have voted against their own office of General Counsel to protect Trump.
