‘Hush money’ is not a crime, and Bragg has no case against Trump

So who is God's king?
His son Jesus. The one who will crush every govt off of this earth( Daniel 2:44) you see at Rev 16 it shows Every kingdom( govt, armies, supporters) will be mislead to stand in opposition to Gods king at Armageddon, they are that way now as well. Every govt on earth stands in opposition now, so voting for them is standing in opposition as well. One cannot serve 2 masters.
 
What is a maga? I am not one. Every potty mouth moron on earth uses that word. It shows their real intelligence.
Here are a couple MAGAs

Just an outrageous matter. And it further marks NYC as a place businesses should avoid.

But this fake case with a corrupt Democrat hack of a judge presiding is the lowest point in American jurisprudence, perhaps ever.


It got me to thinking: Why do we call it the “hush money” trial?
Well, sure, the media-Democrat complex loves the salacious overtones of that spin. But that’s not the real reason. If Trump had robbed a bank or, as he once famously put it, shot someone on Fifth Avenue in broad daylight, we’d be talking about Trump’s bank robbery trial or his murder trial. That is, we’d be talking about the crime.
The problem that Democrats and their note-takers have, the problem that the elected progressive Democratic prosecutor Alvin Bragg has, is that what they want to accuse Trump of is not a crime.
Yes, of course, Bragg has indicted Trump for a nonsensical business-records falsification offense — a mere misdemeanor that he has abusively tried to inflate into 34 felonies. But that’s not what he and Democrats are really alleging.
What they want to say, instead, is that Trump stole the 2016 election. Only they can’t do that. After all, that would make them election deniers — just like Trump.
They’ve spent nearly four years telling Americans that Trump is the most profound threat to our constitutional order in history because, to this day and even as he seeks the Oval Office yet again, he will not admit that he lost the 2020 election fair and square. Yet, boiled down to its essence, Bragg’s indictment accuses Trump of stealing the 2016 election. It is not the former president but the district attorney who is the election denier.
But more to the point, Bragg’s elaboration of Trump’s supposed criminal scheme — laid out in a Statement of Facts, so-called, that he penned and published when the indictment was unsealed — elucidates that what he is accusing Trump of is not a criminal conspiracy.
That is why Democrats and their journo allies have to say “hush money” trial. It sounds sinister, and when you don’t have a crime and you’re about to commence a criminal trial, you’d better sound sinister.
In its curtain-raiser, the Democrats’ house organ, the New York Times, tells readers that in their opening statement, “Prosecutors from the Manhattan district attorney’s office are expected to say that Mr. Trump orchestrated a scheme to suppress stories that could have damaged his 2016 campaign.”
That’s probably right. There’s just one tiny glitch: It is not a crime to suppress damaging information.
Politicians do that habitually. The Clintons and their cronies notoriously ran a “bimbo eruption” war room in the lead-up to Bill’s 1992 election, squelching revelations by women who credibly claimed to have had trysts with the then-Arkansas governor.
Come to think of it, who among us doesn’t have some skeletons we’d prefer were left in the closet? Unless there is a legal obligation to disclose, it is not a crime to suppress embarrassing details.
What are pejoratively described as “hush money” deals are actually legal and commonplace. They are less promiscuously described as non-disclosure agreements. Far from being unlawful, NDAs are a staple of civil litigation settlements in the United States.
Look, if scheming to suppress information were a crime, Bragg’s case would be very simple: He would have charged Trump with scheming to suppress information.
And if Bragg had evidence that Trump had actually stolen the 2016 election, that would be simple too: He would have charged Trump with crimes that were committed in the lead-up to the 2016 election.
Instead, Bragg has charged business-records falsification on the absurd theory that the way Trump booked NDA payments violated federal campaign laws — even though Bragg, a state prosecutor, has no authority to enforce federal law; and even though the NDA payments were technically not campaign expenditures, which is why the feds did not bring enforcement action against Trump.
And since he doesn’t have an election-theft crime, Bragg has ludicrously charged as felonies the booking of NDA installment payments that occurred from February through December 2017. You are being asked to suspend common sense and believe that Trump stole an election in 2016 by committing crimes that didn’t happen until the following year.
That’s why they call it the “hush money” trial. From the perspective of Bragg and Democrats, to accurately describe what they’ve alleged would be to see it laughed out of any court that isn’t a kangaroo court.

Falsifying business records are a crime.

No matter how much you cry, this trial is going forward. See you at the verdict, traitor.

MAGA is all about the elimination of consequence for actual crimes and horrible behavior. For MAGA members, at least.

The evidence that Trump falsified business records is strong. Just like the evidence that Trump stole secret documents, showed them to people, and obstructed the investigation is strong. Just like evidence of election interference is strong. Just like the evidence of flagrant and systematic fraud in Trump's business is strong.

MAGA won't actually debate the evidence. They'll lament the application of consequence for crimes. The lack of accoutability is the core of their ideology. its one of the reasons they love Trump. He says the awful things they wish they could say, he does the awful things they wish they could do.

And he gets away with it.

Or, at least.....did.

So trump is now officially campaigning against Jesus? I can't wait to see trump's tweets now.
 
I checked the charges against Trump. 'Hush money' is never mentioned once as any charge. Making the entire thread just another piece of meaningless pseudo-legal strawman.
Skylar, of course "hush money' is not charged. It is not a crime. It is how the money was paid and were it ultimately came from.

The proof is easy to lay out and to explain.

Orange Man Bad will be convicted.
 
These guys scream scam on all 83 charges
Reality will be a bitch

He scream scam on any judge, any charge, any prosecutor, any evidence, any verdict, any election, any poll that doesn't say what he likes.

Trump has been crying wolf since about 2012.

You have a 'right' to falsify business records? Or to create fraudulent election documents? You have the 'right' to commit fraud?

Can you show me that 'right' in the Constitution, please. The actual one.

Says you, citing you.

Oddly, you were never mentioned in the Opening Statements of trial, nor in any Trump's dozen or so attempts to delay or dismiss it.

Good luck with the 'uh-uh' defense. But at least we're talking about the actual charges rather than your meaningless pseudo-legal strawman.
