Some, generally those who recognize a historic context within the moment of its manifest, will say that President Donald Trump carries an anointing – a protection that keeps harm from his purpose.
Others, mainly those who pontificate punditry while exclaiming, “the beginning of the end” and “the walls are closing in”, will likely gnash their horrible teeth and declare the bad man Trump is coated in Teflon. Albeit with a slowly lessening voice, while becoming even smaller than they were.
The indictment of Donald J. Trump IS HERE and the “statement of facts” IS HERE. The situation, as it is represented within the text, is even more laughable than we could have imagined. It is no wonder why the FEC, DOJ and Mueller Teams took a pass on the allegations. The entire legal construct collapses on its face.
In the statement of facts, District Attorney Alvin Bragg says Donald Trump intended to, “influence the 2016 presidential election by identifying and purchasing negative information about him to suppress its publication and benefit the Defendant’s electoral prospects. In order to execute the unlawful scheme, the participants violated election laws and made and caused false entries in the business records of various entities in New York“… However, you will note one key element missing, the statute he supposedly violated.
What is this federal election law Bragg speaks of?
Every single one of the 34 stacked counts are contingent upon some federal violation of election law that the FEC and DOJ refused to pursue. Yet, nothing is cited.
The courts have already determined that campaign funds can be used to avoid potentially embarrassing personal information (John Edwards case). Using personal funds, or campaign funds to avoid potentially embarrassing information, is not a campaign finance violation.
But wait, it gets better…. or worse, if you dislike Trump.
Every single one of the 34 instances when business records were “falsified” to conceal payments to Trump legal counsel, Michael Cohen, happened between February 2017 and October 2017. Guess what President Trump was NOT doing within the Trump organization in 2017, running it!
When Donald J. Trump won the November 2016 presidential election, he subsequently divested from the Trump organization, handing over control to Eric Trump and the company officers and directors.
Throughout 2017, presumably when these false business records (they are not) were created, President Donald J. Trump was not directing any accounting, disbursements or business record keeping within the organization.
(Via CNN) – The text of the 19-page letter reads: “I, Donald J. Trump, hereby resign from each and every office and position I hold” in more than 400 entities listed on the following pages.
The letter is signed by Trump and dated January 19, the day before he was sworn in.
White House press secretary Sean Spicer told reporters Monday that Trump’s two adult sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, are “fully in charge of the company.”
At a press conference January 11, Trump pledged to transfer his business holdings to a trust run by the sons. He refused to sell his ownership stake, a step that many ethics lawyers say is critical to avoid conflicts of interest. (read more)
.@realDonaldTrump – we told your counsel we'd sing your praises if you divested, we meant it.

So the NY DA did not even meet his ‘Burden of Production’. No specific crime(s) referenced; no statutes cited.
This is an absolute IN YOUR FACE persecution and total abuse of power and abject tyranny.
All involved should swing for treason.
They actually do deserve to ‘swing,’ although our Constitution and our laws would likely disallow it because we are, as a group and as a movement, law-abiding citizens, after all, even if no one else is!
A rush to judgement is not fair to anyone, and our Constitution guarantees procedural rights, but I must repeat, in spite of the forgoing, that these sick, American Bolsheviks do deserve, as sure as there is a sun and moon, to swing very high!
All part of the seditious conspiracy (and espionage?) to remove Trump from office, then to prevent him from running again. The 2020 election fraud disenfranchised 10’s of millions of voters.
Seditious conspiracy that rises to the level of treason.
It does. Who has the balls to go after this? Will it be Trump directing this? I hope so. The senate will not confirm an AG willing to do this, but he will assign an acting AG to do it I am quite sure. And as the matter is treason, he may well refer it to the military for prosecution. There is more than enough international collaboration and involvement to make that stick.
I seriously want to see these people hanged by the neck until they are dead, dead, dead.
Gen. Milley and Adm. “Rachael” will get right on that?
The ONLY hope these bastards have in preventing Trump from running is a violation of the 14th Amendment with conviction of “engaged in insurrection” but even at that it would be up to Congress to vote to use the 14th Amendment restriction.
Elessar either glossed over the statute when reading the indictment, didn’t understand what s/he was reading, or s/he didn’t read the indictment at all. All 34 counts include the statute – Penal Law §175.10 – Falsifying business records in the first degree. It’s as plain as a clear sunny day.
But those statements in the Trump organization business records claimed to be “false”, were made after Trump had resigned from all those businesses. They were not made by Trump.
What is the standard of proof to claim they were “false”?
Evidence of an underlying crime that the fraud was designed to cover up. That is what is not mentioned. Didn’t happen. We will now see if the Judge in the case is as big an idiot as the DA.
Since his wife was tied to the biden-harris campaign, and his daughter to Harris….no big hopes about the judge. no conflict of interest like Sessions, though.
Looks like you glossed over the article. Violating that law is a felony ONLY if committed in furtherance of another felony… and THAT law that “was violated” was never named.
That is correct and leftist apparatchik Bragg knows it. Bragg believes that citing a statute w/o an underlying predicate is enough to convince the Trump hating mob i.e. NYS judiciary to bring Trump to trial.
I think they are pinning this on whether or not the special counsel can come up with something related. Then they can say 🫵see I told you. Rest assured it’ll be just as flimsy as the NY endictment.
I can’t understand how the trial can be legitimately scheduled a year out into the primaries. Unless Trumps folks sees that as a win. Guess they figure it’ll be dismissed by then.
You’d think there’d be at least one incorruptible judge in the line before the Supreme Court that would take a look at this case and give a proper opnion. Even the SC you’d think would be reviewing this case immediately. Otherwise the Trump endictment is the very least of our worries.
And to be clear: for those of you who don’t speak Chinese, Russian, or Farsi. You’d better learn or buy ammo kind of “least of our worries”. Because they are past the gates and in the system like stage 4 cancer.
“You’d think there’d be at least one incorruptible judge in the line before the Supreme Court that would take a look at this case and give a proper opinion.”
I have very little faith in the present our Banana Republic Just-Us system!
They have showed us their compliance with the DS way too many times?
I didn’t point that out because it had nothing to do with Elessar’s belief that no Statute was included in the Indictment.
Btw, I did not need to read the article, though I did, to know Penal Law §175.10 is only applicable as a secondary charge. You’re not telling me anything I did not already know.
Have a nice day, Skippy.
Maybe if you repeat it another 1,000 times, you’ll get someone to believe you.
All one has to do is read the Indictment. Guess that’s just too hard for you and others to do.
Run along back to your playpen, kiddo.
In the Statement of Facts the DA is claiming these payments are fraudulent because they paid for something illegal, yet he never names the criminal statute being violate; its just a vague “illegal” and “violated election law”. If the payments weren’t for anything illegal, then the payments aren’t fraudulent. If the payments aren’t fraudulent, then we are in a he-said-she-said between the Trump Organization and Michael Cohen, where the former alleges he was paid for attorney services and the latter says he wasn’t. One of them is lying, and neither of them are Donald J Trump.
And that has what to do with the Statute being included in the Indictment? My comment to Elessar was about that and that only.
You are technically correct that a statute was included in the indictment, contrary to Elessar’s words, so have an internet point.
However, that statute is dependent upon another crime, as myself and others have pointed out. If the dependent crime does not exist then the statute cited has no legal standing. That was Elessar’s point, which could have been worded more accurately, but the fact that a statute was actually cited in the indictment does not undermine anything else Elessar said. “He a little confused, but he got the spirit.”
As the road runner would say “Meep. meep.”
Oh Cupcake…You poor thing!
You are correct about it being “clear as a sunny day” but not the way you think!
§ 175.10 Falsifying business records in the first degree. A person is guilty of falsifying business records in the first degree when he commits the crime of falsifying business records in the second degree, and when his intent to defraud includes an intent to commit another crime or to aid or conceal the commission thereof.
Law-abiding? Who you? Me?
This is the situation we find ourselves in, a bad relationship with a crazy person. There is no law-abiding because they just changed the laws to prosecute a innocent man. We are all criminals or we are at war, choose one.
Maybe Forrest can teach them how to dangle…
The indictment cites the statute he’s been charged with, 34 times.
Penal Law §175.10 – Falsifying business records in the first degree.
But it doesn’t provide the title NOR how it broke it.
There is no description how those entries broke the law…
… and besides, it’s a private company.
So, they are standard transactions….
And, here’s the clincher, Trump was not running the company at that time. He had removed himself from it.
And?
I didn’t address any other issue because no other issue was relevant to Elessar’s comment.
go away democrat stooge. Your stupid
Vital points. Geez, and here I thought billionaires all had accounting firms that did their taxes. Who wouldda thought PDT does his own and has for a decade, at alast?
Multi-billionaires don’t do their book/record keeping. Espeially a month after they resigned from all 400 or so positions they previously held.
Is Bragg alledging that Trump snuck into the accounting department/s, or disguised himself as a ‘Bean counter’ to cover-up somethng that’s not even a crime?e
How did Mueller ‘Time’ and his ’18 Angry demorats’ ever miss this yuge Stormy Daniels bombshell?
Bragg apparently expects people to believe then President Trump made entries in the accounting software. I bet he doesn’t even know how to do so-CEOs don’t keep the books.
Apparently, bragg and the sycophants who are hanging their hats on his “indictment” don’t know how or why companies have accounting departments. To them billionaires do their own bookkeeping. They hire accountants for the hell of it.
Haha…that’s like, what? Five of us, all coming up with that? Kinda obvious then, isn’t it?
BTW, did joe and hunter (and james and what’s-her-name) all pay taxes on that China money? And of course, declare it on their tax forms? Or their accountants did, right?
‘Cos if not, that’s falsifying records in order to affect an election…uh-oh!
He wasn’t even working for the company how could he falsify business records ?
The same way he was able to sit in the back of the Presidential limousine, reach through/over the glass partition to commandeer the vehicle on January 6, 2021.
Yes of course. There are two elements of a 175.10 felony: intent to defraud and intent to commit another crime or to aid or conceal the commission thereof. It appears in New York, “intent to defraud” has a pretty broad interpretation. It isn’t clear (to me) what the second element is, but I take it to mean a federal crime which was committed by Trump’s lawyer and the theory is Trump “aided” him.
Of course Trump himself didn’t “make” a writing so they are going to have to prove his role.
Will be interesting to see if a motion to dismiss is entered, if so how it gets ruled on. Wouldn’t be surprised to see it go to trial, which would be a major distraction in 2024.
Can you run if you’re at trial? Can you be president if at trial? I wonder if they are trying to run out the clock?
Yes, he can run. Eugene Debs ran his campaign from jail.
You can run from Death Row
Which is the only point..imagine…setting a court date where PDT, not just attorneys, have to show up– during the GOP convention? Think brain-dead democrats would wake up, then?
Stop the lawfare, democrats! How ’bout just stop the hate all the way around?
the criminal charges do not cite the statute for the underlying crime . . . paying for a nondisclosure agreement in a civil matter because this is not a crime.
Non disclosure agreements for civil matters have never been criminal. Bragg is using the settlement payment to bootstrap the record keeping of payments to felonies since it was done to hide the nondisclosure settlement payment. Circular reasoning that begs the question!
You’re not getting it.
the indictment fails because
1 Trump was not running the company when the records were made
2 its only “falsifying business records in the first degree” IF it was done to hide or commit ANOTHER crime.
THIS OTHER CRIME IS NOT LISTED BY STATUTE.
so the indictment in incomplete and should never have been lodged
One of the issues even with that charges initiate from a time after he had divested of his business ties and handed this over to his family. He wasn’t making these decisions.
So, who are the criminals and who are the just? Those who write the laws or those who obey the laws?
You see why criminals become criminals and hero’s when a country becomes so corrupt that everyone is a criminal except the criminals. What is the point?
Just observation, laws were not invented by man but God. God set laws before us to show they cannot be kept. It’s the laws on our heart that deal the cards, not the ones in our head.
We are seriously in for a very rare treat believers. We think God is not acting to our wishes? You shall see. The truth is,
before man was even created the laws that will decide the destruction of these people were created before they were created. God is love and to oppose the CREATOR of this existence is foolish folly.
He gave us a manual, read through it. The end is always near for nonbelievers.
Any traffic court judge would have thrown this case out.
unless he was a democrat
While you are at it, don’t forget General Milley who disobeyed the commander-in-chiefs commands and contacted the Chinese to say he would warn them if Trump started anything. And yet, he’s still in his job.
Oh, No!! They have added TWO MORE FELONIES…he is TOAST:
Did he also fail to pay Columbia House the 5 cents for 20 cassette tapes? chuckling 🙂
Nice!

Looks like the legal profession wants to join the medical profession (post-Covid) into the same doldrum. This is an absolute embarrassment.
Actually, its hard to say which got there, first.
Its only Covid and embrace of the trans nonsense, thats opened many eyes to the corruption of the medical profession, but its been that way, for a long time.
I am NOT besmirching individuals IN it, but just as with the Justice system, there are honorable people, but working in a totally corrupt system.
As for the legal system, Bush set it up, and Obama made the play, so its been in the works for awhile.
It was Bush, that put Mueller, Comey and Weismann in the headquarters of FBI and DOJ, and they seeded the place.
All of the current “Professionals” have been educated, for the most part, in the same woke higher education system. They have been taught that the bottom line is all that counts, let the devil take the hindmost, and America is evil. Easy to see by comparing individuals from from differing generations. For example: Dersherwitz vs. Bragg, Kennedy vs. Biden, Eisenhower vs. Miley. You get the point; I’m sure y’all can come up with other examples.
Brilliant observation.
I certainly hope that Trumps indictment has finally made people realize what is really going on. We are dealing with Marxist revolutionaries who want to destroy us, our country, take our freedoms and enslave the masses to their whims and control. We either wake up and fight back or die. And fight back means you do everything in your power, either large or small. We all can do something and the talented must do more.
If one can take any clue from the callers to C-span after his remarks, at least two were former Dems now Trump supporters and clear majority were in his court, horrified at the day’s events. Despite the ignorant Dems calling in, I came away marginally hopeful.
You absolutely correct. We will see what happens in the next while. However, most people are apathetic and will do nothing but complain from their keyboard, where little effort is required.
Had this occurred in France or Holland, millions would already be protesting. The people have overwhelmed the government. And in Holland, the Farmers Party now holds the balance of power in the government.
Fighting tyranny can be done. People have to be willing to take action and put some skin in the game.

Neither Bragg nor Reiss are “behind” this indictment. Both of them are simply prime examples of Useful Idiots, happily and ignorantly following all orders from their puppet masters. Both are totally disposable, to be tossed aside just as quickly as they were brought to the limelight. Did anyone know their names last month?
re: “Neither Bragg nor Reiss”
Didn’t read the article, did ya?
President Trump is indicted on direct violation of Fizzbin.
I do enjoy reading the comments. Relatively new to the Treeper community and find it like a big hug sprinkled with laughter. Fantastic. God is in control, I faithfully believe that. We don’t know the “ big plan” but I am praying the rosary daily for our dear Trump, his family, associates, and our beloved USA. Light always wins over darkness. I don’t look for trouble or confrontation but don’t back away. Stay faithful, steadfast, and pray , pray, pray. Sundance is amazing with his insights, have not felt this connected to viewpoints since I found my dear friend Rush Limbaugh all those years ago. As he would say, I’ll tell you when to panic, it’s not time yet. No matter how bad it was politically or personally for him, it was never time to panic. Together we will stand and we will pray, God is always listening.
Welcome Nancy Cole…we all get discouraged from time to time and we just help pick each other up…in the 🌴🏠…WE. ARE. FAMILY!
I’m with you Nancy- and as I meditated on the scourging at the pillar decade today I was again astounded at how much this man has endured from Godless hate filled people who want to destroy him. Steadfast- there is great power in prayer!
Welcome Nancy! I miss Rush every day, especially at noon.🥺
Welcome to the treehouse.
IF you find you need some refuge from the refuge, if you get at all down and need a lift, check out the open thread, I have found it a great source of comfort!
I feel that loss a couple times a week right about noon time.
From steadfuss to Steadfast! I am all in for President Trump.
Elise Stefanik statement….
She said his name, multiple times, lol.
Initially I had my doubts, based on her voting record, which probably reflected the policy views of the constituency she REPRESENTS, which is actually what she is supposed to do.
She was the first to take on Liz, which was gutsy.
I like her words and actions so far, I think she has crossed lines she can not uncross, and is MAGA.
Sundance, this is the SDNY “Individual 1” scam all over. Just like back then, Bragg knows he has nothing. That’s why he’s hiding the alleged crime — it doesn’t exist.
This is simply another Lawfare game. The objective is simply to hang a weight around Trump’s neck while he campaigns. The whole thing will implode at trial (if it makes it that far) but they don’t care. It’s already mission accomplished. The process is the punishment.
It needs repeated; THE PROCESS IS THE PUNISHMENT! In politics, in social wokeism, in banking and investment!
Even Trump hater, John Bolton, sees it…

As silly…just grinding my teeth watching Hannity.
He has ‘Linda’ Graham on his show.
Is Lindsey wearing a new Trump Toupee?
Oh, my!
So, when the charged misdemeanors were allegedly committed, the statutes of limitations on them had expired.
And, when the charged misdemeanors were allededly committed, Trump had no corporate role in which to commit them.
And finally, no specific felony objectives are cited that are claimed to elevate the charged misdemeanors to felonies.
Other than those little problems, it’s an open and shut case!
Basically good reason to avoid the retaining of a legal professional.
Legit lawyers should be lining up to call this what it is, shinola.
Touché, Ray!
Brilliant, concise summary!
Trump’s Lawyers REACT to Indictment Hearing
I really like PDJT’s legal team. Especially the lead attorney….something about his face and demeanor says “ do. not. mess. with. me. or . our. team. Just like PDJT, he exudes strength.
Wow! Did one of those tossing questions sound like Joy(less) Behar? Great team!
“Some, generally those who recognize a historic context within the moment of its manifest, will say that President Donald Trump carries an anointing – a protection that keeps harm from his purpose.”
100% agree with you. But boy, he is taking so much punishment, no one else could have stood it. We are near fever pitch.
Is Bragg on Trump’s re-election committee payroll? Ya can’t buy this kind of publicity
He WILL be cited and fined, as how can this not constitute a massive in kind campaign contribution?
This is just like comet’s meddling in 2016 – TPTB have chosen trump again and they are doing it by meddling thru persecution this time. This meddling forces all fence sitters hands away from the incumbent and towards the persecuted. It’s a lock.
So Bragg contributed $10 million to President Trump’s campaign fund? Isn’t that illegal? Time for charges against Bragg. LOL!
How ’bout he contributed 10 million to try to rig the election for the dems…
Silly is the wrong word.
If “convicted” of the non crimes, we face 136 years in Prison…
Sounds like a mistake in typing, no? But who do you think that are indicting? It is the one man in America that widely represents consensus among more than 150,000,000 Americans.
They indicted him on junk charges with a $$$$ defense that will ultimately prevail.
How will you do against these monsters? With a public defender?
And they HAVE done this many, many times.
Manafort, Cohen, Stone, Bannon, Flynn and many others.
Even if you eventually prevail in Court, they have dramatically altered your life, if not ruined you.
Affirmative action — in action!
Isn’t the judge’s job to look at these charges and figure out whether they make any sense at all?
I mean, when I get a traffic ticket the specific paragraph of the law is quoted….
[CA driver code][section][paragraph] speeding and barely breaking the sound barrier in the number 2 lane not yielding the lane to old ladies in their Teslas going hypersonic
( it is SoCal freeways after all… ). 😉
President Trump didn’t use campaign funds. The payment was made with his own money $$$$. WTF!
That’s not the issue. The issue is “making” a false business writing with intent to defraud. It isn’t clear to me who or what was defrauded, as I don’t see who had access to or acted upon the purported false writing. The implication seems to be tax fraud but it isn’t clear.
interestingly
1 Trump had resigned from the company in the year BEFORE the false business records were made
2 the FELONY of false business records NEEDS it to have been done to conceal or commit some other CRIME.
This OTHER crime is not identified in the indictment by specifice statue ( this is required )
so effectively the indictment does NOT identify all the elements of the alleged crime. it should be throw out
New York just unanimously passed an ex post facto law:
Penal Code 45: Orangemanbad
These are great points! Whether he was running the organization or not (he wasn’t)
#1 weren’t many if not all of the payments referenced in the charges made AFTER his inauguration as POTUS? How can they be illegal attempts to influence an election that already took place?
#2 how could the payments be improper campaign contributions to a campaign that is already over?
Also Bragg made some vague reference to tax evasion. I’d really like to know what that was about. If he’s going to try to prove the payments were coded as a business expense to evade or lesson his NY tax burden.
Also, falsifying business records is a MISDEMEANOR. The statute of limitations is up for misdemeanors. He had to prove illegal intent to bump these up to felonies. See the first two points above. Neither make any sense.
Teflon Don! But seriously, God’s not done with him yet.
There’s a good chance that even a biased judge will throw this out, it’s such a joke. And then they’ll just move on to the next farcical investigation. By defending it, Asa Hutchinson really embarrassed himself and showed what a phony he is.
They got away with falsely. screaming “Russia, Russia, Russia” for years and did a lot of damage. So, Alvin must figure, Why Not? We don’t need any SPECIFIC statute.. just charge him.
FUBAR!!!

Has it occurred to anyone that all things Trump are theater?
To distract, manipulate, and trigger reactions to collect intel?
Manipulations including global, for example here other nations see yet another way America has lost moral standing to “promote democracy”. Could this result be a goal?
Why would some interests seek to continue the erosion of America’s standing in the world? Could it be part of the 100 Year Plan, apparently coming to fruition with the ascension of a Sino-Russian power?
As noted, this indictment has no valid legal basis. Why would a high profile DA do this? It has nothing to do with the facade.
Back up from the trees, behold the forest.

the great reset/agenda21/un2030/urbanization/technocracy/climate change…globalism under whatever name they think works at the time.
No crime didn’t matter to the grand jury. Won’t matter to the Manhattan jury either.
grand jurys most of the time do not contain lawyers.
Only the prosecutor gets to speak to them in secret.
There is no defense lawyer speaking to the grand jury. They do not get to hear why the indictment is rubbish.
this is why grand jurys can so things like this, they are just everyday people who dont have legal training to argue back
Back in 2020, I said – the Elites were going to Steal the Election + the Institutions would support it or do nothing. Then, eventually, the Elites would decide Trump was too effective a Leader of the Anti-Great Reset Masses in or out of the White House – so they would Arrest or Kill him.
I was ridiculed.
Part of it was that Trump had done nothing wrong.
I said they’d throw him Prison + cut off his ability to communicate for Jaywalking….. just as it did not matter how Huge Trump Rallies were compared to Biden’s…. if the Judges are Fixed the case will be fixed…
— We might see this come to fruition.
I don’t have a good feel yet to make a % prediction. I give it at least 50/50 that Trump will be found “Guilty”. If the case remains in Manhattan – 80% chance.
It will have NOTHING to do with whether he is or isn’t guilty of anything…..
And given the number of Average People who are fine with Trump being arrested —– I am having too easy a time thinking —– we collectively deserve what is coming down the pike that nobody wants to face……
…. A Transexual shoots up a Christian Elementary School + our Institutions warn about the Genocide being waged against the LGBUQ+ Community + the person who got more real votes that any POTUS Candidate in History is under arrest + pending arrest in multiple states in the run up to the 2024 POTUS Election Cycle…
—- Evil is working hard + our in the open……
Where is the NY Bar Association. Who police’s the police.
I just heard Bragg is also going to indict Trump for breaking a pinky-swear he made when he was 7.
LMAO!
Unsurprising as everything 0’Bama and the D3mocrats touch turns to Schiff…
Trump wins and/or wins on appeal. The people, who are suffering more under the left’s abuses now more than ever, find it increasingly easy to identify with the victimization of President Trump.
the people will not accept this. And they won’t accept election rigging this go around.
Waiting for the polls to confirm what I believe to be true.
Built on sand and hate. Apparently, these jamocas didn’t have a calendar or any countable brain cells among them.
Besides, doesn’t every corporation have people who do the accounting, and attorneys to back the info?
Good headline, Sundance.
We did think it was going to be a stretch, but this isn’t even that. It’s hard to tell if Bragg even understands what he is talking about.
I didn’t know they had affirmative action for law licensing.
“affirmative action for law licensing” – it’s called Soros money.
Lets roll. Take the momentum and run with it. The opponent is never more vulnerable than when missing at full extension. Counter punch.
I don’t believe these lower cases – Bragg’s NY, Fulton County GA investigation – are really aimed at prosecution. Instead I believe the objective is indictment and arraignment with ensuing MSM “analysis”, prognostications and interview as Trump is prosecuted in the court of public opinion. Then when Smith and DOJ throw their “bombshell” the jury pool would be sufficiently tainted for their prosecution.
This is it from Stmt of Facts:
“34 counts relating to “Falsifying Business Records in the First Degree, in violation of Penal Law § 175.10.” These charges relate to to bookkeeping records concerning a hush money payment of $130,000 to Stormy Daniels soon before the 2016 election; a $30,000 payment to a former Trump Tower doorman by AMI (National Enquirer); and an AMI/National Enquirer payment of $150,000 to a woman who said she had a sexual relationship with Trump when he was married.”
Bragg claims: “made and caused false” entries in the business records of enterprises “kept and maintained by the Trump Organization.” Trump is said to have done this with the “intent to defraud and intent to commit another crime and aid and conceal the commission” [Bragg never discloses in indictment what the “other crime” is but I’m sure they’ll find one]
FACT:
Trump signed off in 2016 prior to announcing his campaign transferred all stock into Trust to his family and Trump Intl that he is fully divested from the corporation and it’s operations BEFORE Cohen obtained NDA and paid $130K. Same with the other two claims. He cannot be responsible for business records.
Do all of us now understand why it was a Big Deal when 3 different Judges in 2 different States used the Nuclear Option to default Alex Jones in Civil Cases + then shred the Constitution in the Penalty Phase to do everything but put a gun to the heads of the Jurors to make sure they would return Awards in the hundreds of millions of $$$$ all in the name of Shutting Down his public speech + warn all others who earn a living by a News Talk Show that they can be destroyed too…?
Why did Tucker Carlson back off airing Jan6 footage…?
How many States + how many Institutions had to cooperate to fix the 2020 POTUS Election…?
How many to prevent a Red Tsunami in 2022…?
How hard a time did the FBI + DOJ have in targeting people around Trump during his time in office…?
How many Trump People were found guilty or forced to plead Guilty for “crimes” the Establishment have always avoided…?
Why should anyone have any confidence that they cannot “Convict” Trump of anything they want….?
If we discuss the 2020 Election (or 2022) in terms of “What went wrong…?” — if we chalk the Results up to anything but — Fraud….. what are we doing….???
—- The more we discuss things as if our Institutions are not Fatally Corrupt — the easier we make it for the Elites to run things as they please….
For example – what % of Trump Voters think the vast majority of all of this is about — Getting Trump…?
What % of Trump Voters think getting Trump is far more about —— removing a Potential Obstacle to —– all the things they want to do to EVERYONE as part of a Great Reset….?
— If we don’t know the Enemy + know the nature of the War being waged against us, what chance do we have….?
….Trump is not the Primary Target. Not even close…
Let’s face it: Bragg could have used a blank sheet of paper.
‘Hey, Hey, Hey, it’s Faaaaaaat Alvin’ apparently will need till December to get every lefty lawyer on the globe to find the exact statute PDJT violated.
You don’t understand, he hurt their feelings. Now he must be punished
This indictment just confirms why Alvin Bragg hasn’t won even 50% of the cases he has chosen to prosecute (not a great record Al!)…he is a glory hound who is going to rue the day he started this…….Meanwhile, Trump’s election coffers doth runneth over!
will any court / judge call this for what it is (bullshit x2) and dismiss this case.
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?
Now to the biggest Question: why would the Judge allow this “indictment” to go forward? As I understand it, after a grand jury delivers a “probable cause” decision, the prosecutor must then seek a Judge to review such grand jury decision.
And as I recall this may have (I cannot remember the timeline at the moment), the former judge in this case has “retired”, meaning: did the former Judge commit fraud by refusing to enforce the obvious rule that the grand jury must be shown a specific crime has been alleged in statute AND THEN LATER ALSO committed a fraud by allowing the same grand jury decision void of any chargeable offense listed in the Indictment to be filed?
And now that there is a “new” judge …is it incumbent AS DUTY REQUIRES to use his power to take this indictment in its entirety and remove it from court filing. Given it does not meet any lawful procedural basis, this would not even require a defense motion to dismiss the case. It only requires that the Judge look and examine how the process was defrauded and allowed to seat a grand jury to begin with: the prosecutor failed to name a chargeable offense? the allegations of wrong doing must be based on a specific crime. If the prosecutor failed to perform this duty…the grand jury, it’s decisions, regardless of outcomes and probable cause determinations are baseless…So the Judge should have the power and the duty to look into this matter immediately…and upon recognizing this misconduct, remove the indictment from court filing, dismiss the case
AND FORMALLY CHARGE THE PROSECUTOR FOR MISCONDUCT …AS FRAUD.
what am I missing?
God Bless America
If you recall Democrats once said It’s the seriousness of the accusations, not any evidence, is why they had to investigate. This is just an extension. Someone makes an accusation that makes no sense but the left believes it is grave and serious. So they did an investigation of nothing, and they have an indictment based on nothing.
That “someone” who makes the accusation….Hmmm…
Dual Purpose. Actually maybe more than dual. One of the reasons this is useful is anyone arguing against it, that argument will now be used later on when it comes to examining the Obama-Biden crime family.
