Andrew McCarthy notes the same thing everyone else is noticing, the absence of a violation of a criminal statute. {Direct Rumble Link}
For the first time in United States history a former president has been accused of a crime and indicted, yet the person making the accusation and bringing the charge doesn’t say what crime has been committed. What criminal statute has been violated? Even the leftist media are apoplectic at the weakness of the indictment. WATCH:
.
This is typical of soros DA’s. No substance, just pure BS.
Is it just me?
Getting “500 Service Unavailable” from Direct Rumble Link which worked fine except nowApologies. Got it working again
Not sure but I believe this indictment what legal experts would term as legally ‘defective’ as a charging document as there is no codified (allegedly) statute listed that Trump violated.
Maybe Marcia (Retired Magistrate) could clarify.
Not a lawyer, but:
“An indictment must contain:….
…..7. A plain and concise factual statement in each count which, without allegations of an evidentiary nature,
(a) asserts facts supporting every element of the offense charged and the defendant’s or defendants’ commission thereof with sufficient precision to clearly apprise the defendant or defendants of the conduct which is the subject of the accusation; and..”
NY law
https://casetext.com/statute/consolidated-laws-of-new-york/chapter-criminal-procedure/part-2-the-principal-proceedings/title-i-preliminary-proceedings-in-superior-court/article-200-indictment-and-related-instruments/section-20050-indictment-form-and-content
Maybe there’s some wiggle room?
“…sufficient precision to clearly apprise the defendant or defendants of the conduct which is the subject of the accusation;”
I don’t think that is very much room to wiggle in. “Sufficient procession” would almost have to be the actual wording of the law and the cite of the criminal code that sets out the elements of that law.
NYS PEN § 175.10
FALSIFYING BUSINESS RECORDS IN THE FIRST DEGREE
In order for you to find the defendant guilty of this crime, the
People are required to prove, from all of the evidence in the case,
beyond a reasonable doubt, each of the following two elements:
1.
That on or about (date), in the county of (county), the defendant, (defendant’s name),
made or caused a false entry in the business records of an enterprise;
and,
2.
That the defendant did so with intent to defraud that
included an intent to commit another crime or to aid or
conceal the commission thereof.
The weakness seems to me in specifying the exact “another crime”. Seems more appropriate to charge under § 175.05 misdemeanor.
My understanding is that the Trump Organization is a privately held company and it is not a publicly traded one that “falsifying business records” would not hold water here, right or wrong?
They didn’t charge under the misdemeanor because there is a two year statute of limitations for misdemeanors and this all occurred five years ago or more. So if I’m Trump’s lawyer my focus is on paragraph 2 of the statute, and I’d want to file a motion that, as a matter of law, Trump did not have intent to defraud or intent to commit or conceal another crime. But I can’t do that unless the indictment specifies the other crime. This is not a close call. The charging document is deficient, and Bragg’s position that he doesn’t have to identify the other crime is pathetic.
Black Knight: This fabricated case is about politics, not law. The prosecution works for political masters whose goal is to stymie President Trump’s 2024 campaign by whatever means.
I get that, but I do have some experience with criminal law, and my understanding is that there has to be a clearly defined statute that was violated.
They are usually numerically codified with the elements of the exact felonious crime committed and the consequences specifically designated.
In other words, what crime was committed by making payments.
If it is a federal offense, there is no jurisdiction. If it is a state offense, the ascribed statute with its numerical code is supposed to be alleged in the ‘charging’ document, at least that is my understanding under my former state’s process.
In Georgia, it was OCGA #*%^ (numbers inserted) and then the description ie aggravated assault, etc.
You are correct. Everytime I was indicted, I knew EXACTLY what statute they were alleging I had violated, they were listed, right there in the indictment.
Also, anytime any lawyer files any papers with the court, it is understood that its just like testimony, it falls under the “pains and penalties” of perjury, if he knowingly makes false statements or assurances to the Court.
So, under the old rules, Bragg would be in a world of hurt, perjury, abuse if process, malicious prosecution, color of law, and leaking grand jury proceedings.
Under the new system of injustice, he is probably negotiating a six figure book deal, as I write this.
We can not expect any Justice, and in fact can rely on nothing but injustice, until the DOJ is cleaned out, just accept that as a given, and the occasional tidbits where we “catch a break” are what they are.
Thinking the same thing. The malicious prosecution, false arrest and false imprisonment (if applicable) would fall under federal 42 US 1983; the criminal if the FBI/DOJ were righteous would be conspiracy against civil rights under color of law & deprivation of civil right 18 US 241 & 242.
Got a little bit of experience with this myself.
Sadly, both State and Federal justice departments and courts need a good cleansing, if we want to return to justice and constitutional rule of law.
The swamp isn’t just in DC and “by any means necessary” has become the legal tactic instead of “rule of law” justice where innocent people and political opponents don’t get tried for fake charges, go to jail on false evidence or get politically persecuted.
Congress should put on limits or clarify the legislative purpose of laws written, but that’s likely a low probability possibility as it may require both senate and executive approvals in swamp-land.
See my below post with Alan Dershowitz’s legal analysis. He talks about that.
Agreed. You can’t say “I’m going to arrest you because I don’t like what you did”. The natural response is, “What law did I break?”
For instance, I know a rookie cop who failed to cite the code violated for his first two written tickets. Both charges were dismissed (driving offenses).
You are correct! Also, doesn’t the proper names of individuals in the indictment have to be their legal name? They refer to Stephanie Clifford as Stormy Daniels, which is her stripper name. This whole bill just seems shoddy and amateurish …
And that surprises you because……………………….
bill:
The meta message, in all the Left does, is that the American Constitution no longer applies.
Donald Trump has proven a convenient vehicle because he arouses the nebulous hostility of so many Democrats.
The Constitutional principle of a Bill of Attainder (a lousy name for a great idea) is that laws apply to acts and offences, not persons.
Donald Trump has been targeted by law enforcement agencies, like the FBI and the Justice Department, since before his election. After many years, they still have found no crimes to prosecute.
America and its glorious Constitution is intended to right the wrongs of feudalism/ fascism (same thing). If you aggravate the King, off with your head (ask Ann Boleyn.).
The only principle guiding these people is America must go.
Forgot about the constitutional aspect. You are correct though. They just can’t make up a charge that doesn’t exist out of thin air or hold someone without charging (habeus corpus). Thanks.
The leftist judge will do anything he wants. The first day of law school they taught, ” the law is what the judge says it is”.
Some people that protested J06 are unavailable for comment.
Unless they were Conservatives in Washington DC on Jan. 6th, 2021.
“Donald Trump,…because he arouses the nebulous hostility of so many Democrats.”
IMHO, NO! He is, and from the escalator ride on has been, a direct, existential threat to the REPUBLICANS, by a simple “compare and contrast” he exposes their perfidy and betrayal of the base, and the American people.
Expose that the “two party system” is a myth, expose the Uniparty by stripping R’s of their “stealth” capability, and the Uniparty bird can not fly, with only one wing.
Sure, INDIRECTLY he threatens the Dems, BECAUSE they are utterly dependant on the R’s, to enable them.
Pelosi, Schumer, AOC were never PDJT’S biggest opponents or impediments, it was ALWAYS Mitch.
And, again my opinion it wasn’t an accident that Mitch has been taken off the chessboard.
His main job was preserving the myth of two opposing parties, and staying in the shadows was necesary for that role.
PDJT made him expose himself, and the RINO’s too much.
I fully expected him to retire, one way or another, before 2024.
Exactly, dutchman. As demonstrated by the noticeable lack of Republican support (except for MTG) evident throughout this lawfare process. And, your point about the turtle is spot-on. Although, it should be expanded for the entire Senate, Republican and Democrat. Were are Barasso, Cornyn, Ernst and the rest of the drones that usually stand behind the turtle and look like they have a bad case of gas. The Democrat Senators should be wise enough to see where the Trump persecution will lead, but I guess the kickback money from Ukraine is just too much of a deterrent for both sides of the aisle.
And the RINO John Thune is moving seamlessly into the void?
I saw a NYC investigative journalist [when such a thing actually existed] say the she had been looking for dirt on Donald Trump for decades. She has never found any!
My theory is that Trump saw his father go through some legal troubles and decided that he would do everything, as Susan Rice said, by the book. It seems to have been a great philosophy? There is no one on the planet [maybe Mother Teresa?] that could withstand the scrutiny the Trump has endured…Successfully!
Unfortunately, we’re living in Post-Justice America.
Post human justice.
The Great Judge of us all is watching very carefully.
Where’s the beef?
While everybody is watching the hand with the NY indictment without a listed crime, what is the other hand doing? We’re like a car speeding towards a brick wall and some woman just flashed us her boobs. There is so much going on that they needed to wave something shiny in front of our faces. There’s the; death of the petrodollar, losing the reserve currency status, lousy jobs report, OPEC cuts, crop failures, Biden corruption probe, banking crisis, Chinese balloon spying and deteriorating economic conditions. Is it any wonder why they want us distracted?

If I am arrested and no crime has been committed, am I not entitled to damages for violations of my constitutional rights?
Do all those in the gulag have constitutional rights and will they receive damages ?
NOPE
Yep. The process is the punishment.
it isn’t over yet
Btw, how is within New York’s jurisdiction to enforce federal law in a New York court? That’ s not Fat Alvin’s job. He also can’t prosecute someone for violating California law no more that a California court can prosecute you for violating New York law.
truthbomb: To President Trump’s opponents, the law does not matter. Look at the past 6+ years. The law has never mattered to President Trump’s opponents. Only crushing President Trump matters, by any means necessary.
President Trump is an existential threat to everything for which his current opponents and their predecessors have been working, for the past 100-plus years. I mean this literally. The New World Order is everything to these people. Everything.
I’d 1988 forward our Republic has been eroding. I’ve never voted for a Bush in a primary but did vote for both in General Elections. The Bushes and Clintons set the stage for the destructive transformer of BHO.
Trump is the only guy for now.
Started with Nixon ouster. His replacement, Ford, was a puppet. VP Rockefeller and CIA Director Bush put into motion circa 1974. Johnson was a placeholder for them before that after they killed Kennedy.
In Soviet Amerika, crime manufactures prosecutor — and exculpatory evidence hide you!
Ok Neil you can go back to your favorite pastime. Reminiscing about JFK
TRUMP PLEADS NOT GUILTY TO 34 FELONY COUNTS
——-
1 count of loving America & Americans; and
33 counts of felonious mopery and mean tweets … but mostly mean tweets.
Wish he could have said “Your honor, I can not plead, until I know WHAT crime it is, that I am accused of.
What STATUTE did I violate, can YOU tell me?
And if YOU can’t, shouldn’t this be dismissed?”
“We have to convict Trump in order to find out what crimes he is being accused of.”
Excellent!
As I pointed out elsewhere, we live in the realm of the Queen of Hearts from Lewis Carroll:
“Sentence first, verdict afterward!”
Most effeminate 6’8” guy ever
LOL!
I think Kurt at Townhall refers to him as “looming doofus”. Pretty much fits the bill.
He probably drinks Budweiser.
Bud Lite for sure, with that dude in ladyface on the cans.
Which makes everyone (well, most everybody) think, the indictment is not to formally criminalize president Trump, but the dragged-on proceedings (and possibly other charges from other states) are the true intent to prevent president Trump running in the 2024 election.
Sir Napsalot: Precisely.
Yep, and the next hearing isn’t for 8 months from now.
So much for a “speedy trial”.
Today’s activity warrants a quick refresher of Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals:
1) “Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.”
2)”Never go outside the expertise of your people.”
3)”Whenever possible go outside the expertise of the enemy.”
4) “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”
5)”Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. There is no defense. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage.”
6) “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.”
7) “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.”
8)”Keep the pressure on.”
9)”The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself. ”
10) “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.”
11)”If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside; this is based on the principle that every positive has its negative.”
12) “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.”
13)”Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. ”
Consider numbers 1, 10, and 11. For #1, basically they’re full of bulls*!t. With #10, they’ve found something that they can drag on for an extended period of time, maybe at least until the next election. As for #11, it’s what they’re good at; lie, lie, lie, and lie some more. Standard operating procedure for these clowns.
IMHO, it and charges in Georgia are specifically to give the RNC an excuse, an “out” a justification, or at least the APPEARANCE of a justification for denying him the nomination.
There is no legal or Constitutional basis for he can’t run if indicted or even convicted.
There convoluted logic will be ; a POTUS can be impeached and removed for “high crimes and misdemeanors” therefore it would be irresponsible of us to have, as our nominee, a candidate that COULD, be impeached as soon as he is sworn in.
Our country went thru too much, during his first term.
Therefore we will not give our endorsement (permission to run as a Republican) to PDJT.
We all KNOW they don’t want him running, at all.
But only the Republican party can keep him off the ballot, and they want an EXCUSE, that “seems reasonable”.
And THAT, I think is what this is all about. Hence, the charges don’t HAVE to “stick” they just have to draw it out, and add to it with Georgia, long enough for the RNC to make this move.
Frankly, he was NEVER going to accept any candidate for VP that the RNC would insist on, and the RNC was never going to accept the candidate HE would insist on, but the RNC does not want THAT to be seen as the issue that leads to the split.
IMHO,..
Very good analysis.
Never forget that as awful as the Democrat wing of the Uniparty is, the most dangerous wing is the GOP.
They are covert traitors and also control almost all Republican elected officials.
They have been pulling the bait and switch on Conservatives for decades.
Promising to save us from the Leftists, but making deals to betray us behind our backs.
At a minimum yes, all of those things.
but there is also this: THE GOPe/RNC will never allow President Trump to run on their “ticket”. Literally meaning zero access to campaign funding. (yes, President Trump did run on the GOP/RNC platform in 2016 and 2020, while the highest majority of campaign funds came from main stream americans. But THOSE FUNDS where channeled through organization of many flavors…like winred. So by defunding the candidate President Trump this time, they will simply refuse to transfer campaign donations to his run and defraud voters who use those organization THINKING this will go to President Trump.
Other ways? The press. The Press will simply refuse to carry news about President Trump. The ultimate censorship. They will blackhole any mention of his rallied. We are already seeing this.
the only way to get out ahead of this is for PRESIDENT TRUMP AND TEAM TRUMP to build an independent campaign funding organization..completely separate from the GOP/RNC. AND to use other actions to force the main stream media to carry the news of his rallies leading up to the election cycle and debates.
essentially.the corruptors can AND WILL simply DELIST President Trump from any exposure on their platforms.
Prepare for this to happen also solves a larger issue: We should never be funding a single party organization. It’s too much power and potential for fraud. Make it personal TO THE CANDIDATE and force the larger organizations to heel to the intentions of voters.
God Bless America
There are only two criteria for running for President.
Age 35 or older and a natural born citizen.
That’s it!
They tried to do that “insurrection” thing, but that was a total farce and failed spectacularly!
They are making up laws as the want. The judge should have shut it down immediately. This all proves America is no longer a Nation of law. It no longer has the constitution or bill of rights. There is now no reason for any citizen to obey ANYTHING. Just raw power and who has the most ammo.
CRIME: Didnt shake the handle on toilet in Lincoln bathroom on January 6 thereby leaving White House with an excessive water bill.
Here’s the crime:
In New York the crime of Larceny By EXTORTION is a Felony:
New York’s theory of extortion punishes people for stealing property by threatening to do proscribed acts that will harm the victim unless the victim gives up the property. The crime of larceny by extortion is codified at New York Penal Law 155.05(e).
There are 9 acts that larceny by extortion may be predicated on:
1) threats of bodily harm.
2) threats of damage to a person’s property.
3) threats to expose the victim to criminal conduct.
4) threats to accuse the victim of a crime or fabricate facts that will cause false charges to be instituted against the victim.
5) threats to expose a highly embarrassing undisclosed matter to the pubic would cause great diminishment of reputation to the victim.
6) threats to cause a significant and costly labor disruption that would severely harm a business where the party demand payment are not the striking laborers.
7) threats to testify or not testify in a legal matter
8) threats to neglect or abuse a position of public power.
9) threats to act in a way that would harm another’s wellbeing, security, livelihood, fiscal stability, or intimate relations.
President Trump is the VICTIM OF EXTORTION not the criminal!
I’m starting to suspect Fat Alvin didn’t get into law school or obtain legal positions based on skill or merit.
I wonder just how that could have happened. I’m stumped.
Harvard Law…LOL! Can you believe it?
Law school isn’t THAT hard, have you noticed an extreme shortage of lawyers, because so few can pass law school, because its so hard?
Me, neither. I went up against some smart people that were lawyers, and some real dumb hacks.
Beat them all, and never went to law school.
A VSG, with no education is STILL a VSG, just uneducated. Give him an education, and he is an eduucated VSG.
However, give an idiot an education, he’s STILL an idiot, he just has a pretty diploma to hang on the wall.
Same here. Had 6 manufactured charges. No bill. Open records act to get evidence of conspiracy.
22 hearings on my own. Won all but 1. That one was rigged to keep me from getting an LEO arrested. And everyone in attendance saw it and gasped when the judge dismissed all of the evidence.
Civil rights suit failed on summary. Civil rights lawyer said it was the worst miscarriage of justice he ever handled for a client. “Outrageous” was the word he kept using. Rumor was DA had friends in the federal courthouse.
Spent almost 4 years of attacks after that by the local establishment, including threats, attempts on life. Came to a head on video on a real life Mexican standoff late at night with weapons.
Feds was less than worthless doing anything about any of it despite a detailed complaint with evidence and an affidavit swearing under penalty of perjury than everything I claimed was the Truth. The did nothing to the culprits. But they didn’t come after me for perjury either!!!!
They finally backed off after the standoff.
23 years ago.
I know better than almost anyone can even imagine EXACTLY how Trump feels and I was a nobody (still am) in a historically notoriously corrupt county.
When I saw what Trump was trying to do, I didn’t believe in him at first (nor anyone else). But after they went after him and I started to follow the legal and military intelligence aspects of it all, and then the spiritual, I said to myself, God has sent us an anointed one to expose this shit I’ve been preaching to anyone who would listen for years.
As far as I’m concerned, with all sincerity- F*%# every last one of them to Hell!
As far as PDJT goes, I’ll follow that man through Hell itself if he asks.
The thing is Dutchman, this corruption we all see and I’m sure you’ve been aware of as long as me, has been around for way far longer than even the people on this site would realize.
If Trump did nothing else, he woke up the world, my friend.
“If Trump did nothing else, he woke up the world…”
I find myself saying that so often. If Donlad Trump did nothing else, he not only woke up the world, but he got the traitors to reveal themselves.
I think that was the plan of the Almighty all along.
Amen
Affirmative Action strikes again.

An invoice arrived, a check was cut, the chart of accounts was updated. Totally normal.
Bragg alleges a crime occurred in 2016 yet does not specify what that crime is. Is the DOJ in the upcoming weeks going to supply that for him?
Yeah, and the checks were cut by others in 2017 after Trump had resigned from all of his businesses.
He not only did not cut the checks personally, he wasn’t even in charge to review.
the silent republiCANTS, who can’t seem to have any courage.
THIS IS THE ANSWER: There is there was no criminal statute cited because they don’t know the statute number “yet“, or the exact wording of the statute, “yet“.
The statute is working its way through the New York State Assembly and will be on Kathy Hochul’s desk to sign next week. It will be called “Stormy’s Law“: identifying and purchasing negative information to suppress its publication to benefit a defendant’s electoral prospects.
They just need to make sure that it is still lawful to identify and purchase negative information and encourage its publication to damage an opponents electoral prospects (eg, Christopher Steele & Fusion GPS). /sarc
But what about ex post facto – charging someone for a crime that was not identified in the statues when the supposed crime occurred? Well, maybe they think they can enact it and still charge Trump “after the fact”.
Thanks for the heads up! Seriously, they have no respect.
Not sure if this whole or just part of this comment is ‘Sarc’ – but a special Stormy’s Law to bolster Fat Alvin’s shoddy case would certainly be a Pelosi-style move.
President Trump’s company is not even publicly traded. No listed. It’s a privately owned family business. Nobody would ever see his company records!
WTF are they talking about?
Doesn’t matter of the content of the Indictment. The process is the penalty. Lawfare is the Totalitarians friend. Keep Trump in Court cases. Look how they have worked over 8 years. Push the Trump evil mantra non stop and eventually you can convince people there is something there. Just listen to people around you and you can hear parroted message. Republicans are gutless and want to be in the minority.
They don’t need a crime. They don’t need a case. They have a cooked leftist judge who will rule in favor of the prosecution on everything and a biased far left Trump hating jury. Trump team may prevail on appeal if it gets to SCOTUS but that will take years.
I hope Tacopina understands this.
Their hate for Trump is so deep that they make fools of themselves so they can say, “he was arrested” or some other empty statement. This is a warning that these vile/evil people (though intellectually challenged), the more power they get the more damage they WILL inflict upon society. No one would be safe, even their foolish, evil enablers will end up hanging (were they to get all the power they seek). May the Lord prevent them from gaining that level of power by whatever means He chooses.
“so they can say, “he was arrested”’
so what you’re saying is that the Dems’ hills are alive with the sound of music…..
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/7SLOv2dvhYY
The Establishment FULLY expected President Trump to “go on the run” and to NOT appear for this farcical “arraignment” today, because that’s exactly what THEY would have done.
But instead, they’ve only trapped themselves into HAVING to follow through with their asinine threats, knowing full well that they’ll NEVER be able to “put this genie back into the bottle”.
They’ve quite literally given us the key to their permanent destruction. USE IT!!
Do we really need a statement of the obvious from some Neoclown who writes for a washed up publication run by chickenhawk Trump haters?

Andrew McCarthy is just as responsible for this as Alan Bragg.
Flypaper. Hang those things in the milk barn. Catch flies. When black with flies stuck to it, discard.
That’s what Bragg has strung together. Lots of flypaper designed to catch the biggest fly evah!
Pathetic.
Notice Bragg ran away when the friendly lib MSM types started trying to corner him with this question !!! 🥴
Alan Dershowitz’s legal analysis of The Indictment. I could listen to him all day. Particularly liked his lengthy discussion of the TDS that Manhattans will have as jurors and gave Caroline Kennedy as an example in his own life. He’ll be discussing more on tomorrow’s podcast.
Haven’t listened to this, but could be interesting:
In the course of reading the comments below – I learned the consensus of those cognizant of legal matters – is Fat Alvin has a crap case. It’s political strategy – not a real legal matter.
The judge should have thrown it out – so the fact that he didn’t says he’s also a political partisan and corrupt as hell.
They’ve kicked the can down the road – and – even pass ‘Stormy’s Law’ to try to bolster Bragg’s crap case.
Indeed, the plan is to keep the NY case, the Mar A Lago and Georgia cases hanging as long as possible – as Dutchman said – to give the RINOs an excuse to deny Trump the nomination.
The persistent practice of malicious POLITICAL LAWFARE is a putrid pernicious ulcer marring the face of our Republic.
The criminals in charge don’t give a rat’s ass whether or not the charging document follows statutory law. McCarthy’s reluctant support for objectivity is too little too late. I’d rather he just sit down and shut the …. Up.
This situation is indeed Kafkaesque. I feel like I’m reading “The Trial”.
LOL! THAT IS Rather GLARING, Isn’t it!!!

McCarthy is a total putz. He supported the investigations by the FBI, Herr Muller. He didnt have the ability to see through BS, then when all the evidence came out after, that Trump did nothing wrong and it was the Gobment that were the crooks, he writes a book on the obvious to Grift a buck. No thanks take that decreptit old geezer off the tv and roll him into an old age home. McCarthy is as useless as George Will, Peggy Noonan, B. Kristel and the rest the RINO, NeoCon phonies.
There are a few of these former feds who were/are stuck in the past, trusting that the current DOJ/FBI, has some integrity like back in the day they worked there. Remember Joe diGenova ? He is a glaring example, or a plant., some justice was always going to happen to the bad guys, never happened, very Q like.
It was interesting to see the usually serous McCarthy actually laughing about the indictment.
Thanks to the stupid NY D.A., Trump’s re-election coffers are filling up- what an arrogant, grandstanding fool Bragg is. When Hillary got a slap on the wrist for the same “crime” (She listed her payment for the phony Steele Dossier under”legal fees” on her records and THAT faux pas resulted in the Mueller Report, an Impeachments and costing the American people million$.)…I think that was a far bigger crime than paying someone – who has signed a paper stating she NEVER slept with Trump – $130,000…also- Bill paid Paula Jones off (no perp walk, no criminal charge) and so did John Edwards…just based on the discrepancy of HOW Trump’s case is being handled in Democratic NYC, I think these charges are going to backfire….
So, now that making “Hush Money” payments can be CRIMINALLY prosecuted, when will we see indictments for the $17 MILLION plus in Hush Money payments made on behalf of Congress-Criminals and Senators using TAXPAYER money? Was Joe Biden involved in one or more of them? Shouldn’t these ALL be considered illegal campaign finance transactions?

https://toresays.com/2023/04/05/president-trumps-indictment-and-jury-was-ai-generated/
Not only accused and indicted, but arraigned. The purpose of an arraignment is for the judge to advise the defendant of the charges against him. All of the charges, not some of them. How is Trump’s legal team supposed to file a motion to dismiss if they don’t know what the underlying felony is? The JUDGE must have noticed this deficiency, if he’s spent any amount of time on the bench, but I haven’t heard anything he said about it. I desperately hope Trump’s legal team noticed it, although I haven’t heard anything from them, either.
since most people agree that this indictment is a “nothing burger” and/or “underwhelming” or, finally, “legally defective” –
what are the dems trying or planning to do?
that question is what bothers me.
