Jake Tapper (CNN) just said that the super-secret crime that turns the bookkeeping misdemeanor into a felony is:

[AntonToo]

Just posting truth since no one up there follows the constitution. The most corrupt govt that money can buy and we got it.

What "truth"?

Go ahead, give the names of people in DC who are comming financial fraud to conduct illicit electioneering.

Step up.

 

[Dragonlady]

On that criteria, we should just move DC to gitmo then.

Do you know who says "Everybody is doing it"? They people who ARE really doing it. Not the people they accuse.

Trump Republicans commit crimes in broad daylight with the whole word watching, and the Trump Cult says "It never happened. He didn't say it. He didn't do it. And if he did, it's not his fault." or it's no different than [legal activities by Democrats].

And now you're ready to declare this clown "King". What fools Republicans be.

Mods: Just saw this on TV, so there may not be a link yet.

Jake was talking to two judges and said that the crime that turns the bookkeeping misdemeanor into a felony is "hiding information from voters".

That makes no sense to me. I thought that "Non-Disclosure Agreements" were always perfectly legal.

Is there an exception for Federal election candidates?

Can states enforce Federal election laws? Or, is NY misinterpreting Federal election law?

The Trump Trial in Manhattan is an Indictment of the New York Legal System

Below is my column in the New York Post on the start of the Trump trial today in New York. I have long been critical of the case as a clear example of the weaponization of the criminal justice syst…

jonathanturley.org

"So this is the case: A serial perjurer used to convert a dead state misdemeanor into a felony based on an alleged federal election crime that was rejected by the Justice Department.

But Bragg then used the alleged federal crime to bootstrap a defunct misdemeanor charge into a felony in the current case. He is arguing that Trump intentionally lied when his former lawyer Michael Cohen listed the payments as retainer costs rather than a payment — to avoid reporting it as a campaign contribution to himself."

Is the $130,000 paid to Stormy a campaign contribution from Trump to Trump's campaign?

So Jake Tapper's interpretation may be wrong? Bragg should have specifically listed the "secret crime" that turned the misdemeanor into a felony on the Bill of Particulars, but he didn't.
Was the secret crime:
Hiding info from voters?
Or not reporting a $130,000 campaign contribution (to Stormy) from himself to himself?

keep askin that question till ya get an alternative facts answer ya like. lol

 

[BackAgain]

It's some sort of multiple choice conspiracy charge where the jury gets to pick a conspiracy....

But they will not necessarily be required to agree on which “other” fake crime they might convict him on.

So much for that old notion about a unanimous verdict.

So no, you can't name anyone.

So much for "truth"

They have so many to choose from. Next time, don't elect criminals to the White House.

 

[BackAgain]

Displaying your arrogant ignorance.

The fact that they have an assortment of named but not binding unspecified “other” crimes is actually a huge legal problem.

You elected a criminal and pervert to the White House, so spare us all your flagrant hypocrisy.

Technically, she didn't because she isn't even an American citizen. SHE elected a Nazi cuck who locks people up for disagreeing with the government.

Good point. I stand corrected.

They are trying to construe that Trump needed to let that information come out so that voters were “fully informed”
Many personal and private details are never made public by many methods
Witch Hunt

 

[SurferH2O]

When even Anderson Cooper thinks it's over for Bragg and the Democrats....



Cohen lied again... on the stand with the Prosecution.

 

[blackhawk]

I guess this is next.

District Attorney Bragg Announces 34-Count Felony Indictment of Former President Donald J. Trump

“The People of the State of New York allege that Donald J. Trump repeatedly and fraudulently falsified New York business records to conceal crimes that hid damaging information from the voting public during the 2016 presidential election,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Manhattan is home to the coun

Jake Tapper doesnt determine what is felony is you dumb piece of shit.

Like when they hid the information about Hunter's laptop?

 

[Freedomisneverfree]

RETARD BIDEN bumbling in this funny video!

You can claim anything you want “counselor” but the legal system sees it differently.
And for the record
A. What Trump did is at the very least a misdemeanor. Misdemeanors are CRIMES my friend. Often resulting in jail time for “regular” folks
B. What Trump did was done to hide the CRIMES that Cohen was convicted of.
That all by itself turns that misdemeanor into a felony.
The “underlying crime” need not be committed by the person charged. If it was committed to cover someone else’s crime… it becomes a felony
You up to speed now junior?

1. If it was a misdemeanor, it expired.
2. Trump cannot be charged for spending his own money. Cohen should have known that.
3. There is no felony. There is no "super-secret crime" charged against Trump. Bragg's case just fell apart.

 

[kyzr]

This is what the whole case is actually about - attempting to influence the 2016 election by covering up a bad story to further your chances. Must be the first time that has ever happened.

That is called "politics". Its not illegal.
