More like this.
Crime A is a misdemeanor.
Crime B is unstated.
Combine A plus B and you end up with Crime C. Crime C is the “felony.”
That’s the real equation.
Now let’s get a bit deeper:
Crime A is time-barred and it doesn’t appear to have ever taken place.
But the NY DA doesn’t care and is hoping that scandalous immaterial evidence will mislead the trial jury.
The unnamed and deliberately concealed Crime B seems to be getting more closely ascertained. It now seems that the DA’s bullshit
theory is that the “criminal purpose” for the allegedly false entry was to improve the prospects for an election
which had already taken place.
Yeah.
That makes sense.
So a non-existent A plus a ridiculously implausible B is required to get C.
Good thing for Bragg that he has a NY City deep blue jury and biased hack judge running interference for the persecution.
