Such an act is only a misdemeanor in New York. To convict Trump of a felony, therefore, the jury must also find that he falsified the documents to hide another crime. Prosecutors are not required to prove a secondary crime took place or even to nail down exactly what it is. In this case, the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office raised the possibility of tax law infringements and the intent to falsify other documents and suggested Trump may have wanted to violate election law using “unlawful” means to deprive someone else of an election win. Trump was charged with misdemeanours, but even if he was being charged with felonies, the stautue of limitations was exceeded in 2022. This trial had no legitimate basis. 1b) Those alleged crimes were past their due date. This trial had to be held in 2021 in order for it to be legitimate. The jury didn't fid Trump guilty of anything within the state of NY's purview. Can you tell me how NY State is trying Trump for misdemeanours from 2016? Even if they were upgraded to felonies, they passed their statute of limitations in 2021. 2.) https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/key-trump-witness-nixed-after-merchan-s-stringent-rulings-reveals-what-his-testimony-would-have-been/ar-BB1mNALM Former President Trump’s legal team was slated to call on a former commissioner of the Federal Election Commission to testify in the NY v. Trump case, but the expert’s testimony was not heard after the presiding judge curbed the scope of what he could discuss before the jury. What's the point of calling a witness who can't talk? The perjurer and the porn star were allowed to go on at length, but the country's most knowledgeable expert on the topic of election finance laws was supposed to keep his trap shut? That's kangaroo court BS, and you know it. This is exactly the silliness I'm talking about. You honestly believe that any trial--let alone a trial of this magnitude--proceeded without any concern for the statute of limitations? Really? Or are you just blindly repeating Trump's unhinged spin? That matter was asked and answered in pre-trial. The COVID extensions (nothing to do with Trump) mean that this case was filed within the extended statute. Trump's absence from the state would also allow, but it's not necessary because of the extensions. Like any witness, some topics are constrained. Same was true for Cohen Quote

Not to mention they made the defense go first not even fully knowing the charges. Bizarre Is Smith somehow an expert in falsified business records? Is he an expert on NY law prohibiting fraud to deprive someone of elected office? No, of course not. So not relevant. Smith could have testified that hush money is not an FEC violation, but Trump was not charged for paying hush money. He was charged with illegal acts undertaken to conceal the hush money. If he had just paid it legally there would have been no problem. And, as Merchan explained, the prosecution would have simply brought in their own expert and giving the jury dueling expert opinion on a non-critical question is just confusing them with a sideshow. And, again, you are patently incorrect. The defense knew every single charge before closing and had known them for over a year. There were no new charges. Just the same 34 counts we've known for over a year. Edited June 1, 2024 by Hodad 1 Quote

cougar Posted June 2, 2024 Report Posted June 2, 2024 On 5/30/2024 at 3:44 PM, West said: The 30 whatever charges were basically just writing realistically two or three charges a bunch of different ways. The reason why I think it's a sham is because to the average observer it would seem he did something very very wrong 30 something charges wrong. It's written for effect which is sad and pathetic for a functioning democracy to be doing this. ........... They see he banged a porn star, think it's repugnant then excuse this nonsense because they have no idea what's even happening It is like you never ever watched any criminal cases. It is very typical for just about any case to end up with 30 to 50 different criminal charges. Why do you think the US is a banana republic just because they had a successful case against a corrupt former president? I thought the US was a banana republic when they went to war against Iraq claiming Iraq had nuclear weapons and then showed the bombings on their TV like it was some sort of show. It is a banana republic when out of 400 million Americans they had three "viable" president nominees in the past 10 some years - Trump, Biden and Hilary. It is a banana republic when they have so many people in poverty, can't stop the flow of Mexicans and other refugees like they do not want to, don't seem to be able to compete in productivity with other nations and expect to stay afloat by military power and always increasing their national debt limit. As for Trump, yes he banged the porn star , grabbed women by the p* which is repugnant and should have disqualified him from running for president, but then he decided to manipulate the public opinion by bribing the porn star and it turns out this was a criminal offense. Too bad. He should have known that, but maybe he is that stupid. Quote
