Bragg’s Pursuit of Trump Violates the Sixth Amendment

#1 Lot's of people have feelings against orange people.

There are no orange people.
#2 We don't know if he can prove it yet, we are at the Indictment stage, you (nor I) have any idea what evidence will be presented at trial.

The indictment does not clearly identify the underlying crime.
(And we may never know if the FDOTUS elects to make a plea deal after his lawyers receive the evidence the DA will be turning over.)

That’s why the crime he’s charged with should be known. Otherwise, it’s a bunch of nothing making a mountain out of a molehill.


P.S. Notice how the investigation against weaponization of the DOJ against political opponents and the Dems’ refusing to provide subpoenaed documents has fallen off the news?
 
I agree, would have like to have seen more, however we have to remember this is the Indictment stage not the trial stage.

While the DA is required to turn over all evidence they have gathered to the Defense, they are under no requirement to layout how they will present that evidence at trial.

hasn't explained what makes the overdue misdemeanor a felony. adding more charges doesn't cut it.
 
The indictment does not clearly identify the underlying crime.

Correct, but there is no requirement that it does.

The crime he's charged with is clearly shown, it's a Class E Felony under Section 175.10 of the New York State Penal Code.

If you think he has to be charged with the underlying crime that facilitates the raising of the misdemeanor to a felony, you are incorrect - that crime can be committed by someone else and it is the FDOTUS's actions in aid and concealing that crime which become the basis for 175.10.

what crime is he charged with thats a felony??
 
A text search of the documents from yesterday does not show the quote “intent to commit a future more serious crime”.

The phrase "Intent to commit" shows up zero times in the Statement of Facts submitted to the court.

The phrase "Intent to commit" shows up 34 times in the Indictment submitted to the court. In each case they are in structure of one of the 34 charges.

The structure is along these lines: "The defendant, in the County of New York and elsewhere, on or about February 14, 2017, with intent to defraud and intent to commit another crime and aid and conceal the commission thereof, made and caused a false entry in the business records of an enterprise, to wit, an invoice from Michael Cohen dated February 14, 2017, marked as a record of the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust, and kept and maintained by the Trump Organization."

Notice that in each usage of "intent to commit" the context is in reference to a date in the past and the intent to commit the crime at that point in time.

Glad to help in understanding the context of what was actually written.

WW
So when he says ”intent to commit another crime,” WHAT is that crime?
 
Seems upon doing a little research each state may just have their interpretation of speedy trial. Just checking out a few states and many are different for a felony.
It should be sped up if the person is being indicted by the opposing political party during election season. This should be disposed of by the end of the summer - 6 months.
