[kyzr]

According to NY law Bragg does not HAVE to specify the felony
You have been told this over and over.

Commies of a feather. If it was Hunter Biden indicted instead of Trump, I could imagine if the GOP DA said "I don't have to specify the crime" how you'd be reacting.
He didn't specify the crime because the crime is bullshit. If it was real he would have specified it.
Kangaroo court by any other name.

 

[kyzr]

Yes, he can but hasn't.

NO, it hasn't.

YES, he did.
How many times do people have to explain it to you?

From August 2015 to December 2017, the Defendant orchestrated a scheme with others 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. The participants also took steps that mischaracterized, for tax purposes, the true nature of the payments made in furtherance of the scheme.

During and in furtherance of his candidacy for President, the Defendant and others agreed to identify and suppress negative stories about him. Two parties to this agreement have admitted to committing illegal conduct in connection with the scheme.

In August 2018, Lawyer A pleaded guilty to two federal crimes involving illegal campaign contributions, and subsequently served time in prison. In addition, in August 2018, American Media, Inc. (“AMI”), a media company that owned and published magazines and supermarket tabloids including the National Enquirer, admitted in a non-prosecution agreement that it made a payment to a source of a story to ensure that the source “did not publicize damaging allegations” about the Defendant “before the 2016 presidential election and thereby influence that election.”

I AM DONE explaining.

Thanks for the explanation. We're going around in circles.
The FEC already said that there was no campaign finance violation.
Bragg and the democrats keep saying there was.
I'm done too. The Masters is on. Have a great day.

 

[ThisIsMe]

There is no "underlying crime" to charge Trump with in the indictment, Trump is being charged with Falsifying Business Records in the First Degree, the connection to other crimes that others committed which is the "aiding and concealing" part of Section 175.10 it talked about in the Statement of Facts document also submitted to the court with the documents. It isn't that Trump must be charged with this "underlying" crime committed by someone else. During trial the prosecution will have to show the connection for "aiding and concealing" the other crime to justify the felony level charge.

The problem is that some people think we are at the trial stage where the prosecution has to layout it's entire case. We aren't we are at the indictment/arraignment stage where the results of the Grand Jury (indictment) are presented to the court and the individual charged (arraignment). After this the prosecution will have to turn over all evidence (testimony, statements, texts, phone records, travel documents, audio records, invoices, checks, account ledgers, etc.) to the defense as part of discovery. What the prosecution is not required to do is to layout their entire case strategy to the defense.

The defense will then have to opportunity to go through the evidence, compare them to the Indictment and Statement of Facts and submit motions to the court. Motion to Dismiss, Motion to Suppress Evidentiary Item XXX, ect. The prosecution gets to respond and then the Judge makes a ruling on each individual motion.

WW

Ok, but as part of the arraignment, doesn’t the entire charge need to be presented? Including all underlying reasons? I’m not saying Bragg has to detail strategy, but he needs to allow the accused to know exactly what it is they are being charged with and why.

Now, some would point to the SOF and say “there are the reasons”, but bragg didn’t say that, and even a lot of media are saying it’s unclear what the underlying crime is.

The accused has a right to know the charges against him, from the outset, not later during discovery, that’s when you present evidence and such, but the allegations need to be known up front, in detail. You can’t just bring a partial charge at the arraignment and say “we’ll let you know the underlying crime we are charging you with at a later time”.

Oh, you poor triggered little child....The "Donny did it too" defense doesn't help you.

 

[WorldWatcher]

Ok, but as part of the arraignment, doesn’t the entire charge need to be presented?

All charges against Trump were presented, in the indictment.

Including all underlying reasons?

As part of the indictment arraignment process? No.

Will at be addressed probably as part of the defenses Motion to Dismiss? Most assuredly. The prosecution will then be able to file a rebuttal and then it will be up to the Judge to rule.

I’m not saying Bragg has to detail strategy, but he needs to allow the accused to know exactly what it is they are being charged with and why.

It was, the connection to election law and campaign violations as the basis for First Degree (felony) Business Record Falsification instead of Second Degree (misdemeanor) were file with the court of the same time. So say that the defendant has not been informed of the basis of the first degree enhancement isn't true. He has been. The particulars of the DA's legal theory on how that justifies the enhancement is strategy that will be part of later proceedings.

The accused has a right to know the charges against him, from the outset, not later during discovery, that’s when you present evidence and such, but the allegations need to be known up front, in detail. You can’t just bring a partial charge at the arraignment and say “we’ll let you know the underlying crime we are charging you with at a later time”.

The accused does know the charges against him 34 counts of Falsification of Business Records in the First Degree (Class E Felony).

Remember this is the indictment stage based on a Grand Jury of his peers voting to indict. This is not the trial stage were evidence all evidence has to be laid out by the DA.

Some people want trial level details, but that won't happen yet.

You're the one that said leftist use name calling. Using that logic Trump is then a leftest.

WW

 

[SweetSue92]

Which is why I think we both agree, the FDOTUS was indicted by a Grand Jury of his peers, the charges have been filed. The next step is the defense and the prosecutor will make their motions to dismiss, suppress, and rebuttals. After that if t he case survives with will go to a jury trial.

FDOTUS = First Defendant of the United States. Seems more appropriate now that FPOTUS (Former President of the United States). That, and if you pronounce it out you get "F-dotus" which sounds funny. LOL

WW

So you have let personal animus color your objectivity. Got it, and that's clear.

This case is ridiculous.

 

[WorldWatcher]

It's funny, you don't seem to point out personal bias of FDOTUS supporters.

Interesting...

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

So, they are saying the hush money payment was a campaign contribution, which exceeds the normal limit, that’s where they get the violation. Daniels not talking about the affair was a benefit to the campaign, and the payment for that benefit was excessive for normal contribution limits.

But as you said, that’s a federal law violation, but trump paying cohen and listing it as legal expenses is a New York accounting law violation, but because that violation was done to conceal a federal campaign finance violation, it makes the incorrect entries in the ledger an attempt to defraud by concealing their true nature as payments to reimburse for a federal crime, which makes those ledger entries a felony.

That’s how I understand it anyway.

So, you’re saying the payments to Daniels are not considered campaign contributions?

No, they are not. That is why the feds would not charge him with a campaign law violation, because he did not use campaign funds.

How NY sets up their laws is just plain stupid. Any lawyer will tell you a business records violation is a misdemeanor usually resulting in a small fine.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Ask Cohen. He went to jail for it.

Now stop acting like the average MAGArat asshole.

I thought you were better than that.

You keep proving me wrong

Cohen pleaded guilty to a campaign law violation out of ignorance. There is no way he would be convicted because Trump used personal funds.

 

[WorldWatcher]

Any lawyer will tell you a business records violation is a misdemeanor usually resulting in a small fine.

Which is true under New York State Penal Code Section 175.05 Falsification of Business Records in the Second Degree.

However any lawyer familiar with New York law will also know that New York State Penal Code Section 175.10 Falsification of Business Records in the First Degree is a felony when the falsification is performed to aid and conceal another crime.

WW

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Aka bullshit.

Bragg did NOT charge Trump with campaign violations. He charged him with falsifying financial docs to cover up an illegal campaign contribution.

You even noted that you understood that.

Stop acting like a simpleton

Trump did not violate any campaign contribution laws. That is why the FEC and DOJ could not prosecute him.

 

[WorldWatcher]

Cohen pleaded guilty to a campaign law violation out of ignorance. There is no way he would be convicted because Trump used personal funds.

In kind contributions (such as paying $130K dollars out of your own pocket) to aid the campaign is a violation of campaign finance laws. Even when AFTER the election the money was repaid.

WW

 

[mudwhistle]

Trump Admits To Authorizing Stormy Daniels Payoff​

Sorry about that.

Now show me where he's trying to cover up a crime.

Appears to me that he's not trying to cover up anything here.

That's where the rub is. He's admitting to paying Michael Cohen back for his trouble.
He's not admitting to committing a crime.
That is the entire reason for the indictment.
That Trump was paying this guy back to cover up a crime.....but there is no crime to cover up.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Which is true under New York State Penal Code Section 175.05 Falsification of Business Records in the Second Degree.

However any lawyer familiar with New York law will also know that New York State Penal Code Section 175.10 Falsification of Business Records in the First Degree is a felony when the falsification is performed to aid and conceal another crime.

WW

We have been asking and no one seems to know, including Bragg, as to the "other crime".

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

In kind contributions (such as paying $130K dollars out of your own pocket) to aid the campaign is a violation of campaign finance laws. Even when AFTER the election the money was repaid.

WW

WW, I am sorry but on this point you are dead wrong. The FEC and DOJ both declined to prosecute this as a campaign finance violation.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Bragg was not REQUIRED to do so

Yes, he is, Read your 5th Amendment.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

BS.

Generally, a state cannot prosecute a federal crime. The federal government prosecutes federal crimes.

Criminal cases can fall under either state, federal, or concurrent jurisdiction. When a case falls under concurrent jurisdiction, both the state and the federal government can prosecute the crime based on their own laws. However, the state charge and the federal charge are usually slightly different.

Because it covers Manhattan, the Southern District of New York has long been one of the most active and influential federal trial courts in the United States. It often has jurisdiction over America's largest financial institutions and prosecution of white-collar crime and other federal crimes.

The feds chose NOT to prosecute because there was no crime, dumbass!

 

[WorldWatcher]

Trump did not violate any campaign contribution laws. That is why the FEC and DOJ could not prosecute him.

So?

The New York charges are not based on Trump violating campaign finance laws, the charges are based on Trump violating New York State business laws.
