How can Trump be charged federally in a state court?

[Lastamender]

Sorry dude. It’s a felony.

And the whole country almost fell to an unarmed mob. Get a life.

/——/ That is something different. It was three payments of hush money, not 34, dimwit.

What To Know About The Three Hush-Money Scandals In Trumpâs Indictment

Stormy Daniels isn’t the only person whose payoff was mentioned in the indictment against Trump.

www.forbes.com

The 34 illegal false business entries were to cover up one hush money payment.

Cohen went to prison for the one hush money payment.

Trump is indicted for the 34 false business entries which were made to reimburse Cohen.

It really is not difficult to understand IF YOU WANT TO.

Repeating yourself does not make the case look any better. It reminds me of you jerks repeating the J6 bullshit. Even after we found out it was lie.

What "lie" are you lying about now?

We all know J6 happened. We watched it on our TVs

Dude, tell it to the judge.

He’s charged with intentionally falsifying financial docs to hide a felony

Well, wait a second. He is charged with falsifying financial records to conceal a misdemeanor, right? Bragg hasn’t actually stated the crime he thinks trump intends to commit, and I thought everyone has been saying that the hush money is just a misdemeanor. So, if he cooked the books, it was to hide a misdemeanor, not a felony. Unless they are suggesting that the two actions combine together to make a felony?

So, does falsifying books to conceal a misdemeanor equate to a felony?

Even CNN thinks this is kind of shaky:

But Bragg has brought the charges -- which by themselves, are misdemeanors -- as felonies. That will require his team to show that the records were falsified with the intent to conceal or further another crime, yet Tuesday's court papers provided only a little clarity on how Bragg intends to establish an underlying crime.

Why New York’s hush money case against Donald Trump is viewed as risky | CNN Politics

The case that Manhattan prosecutors have brought against former President Donald Trump for allegedly falsifying business records to disguise hush money payments related to the 2016 campaign presents novel legal questions that make the prosecution risky – but not impossible – legal experts say.

/—-/ State campaign laws don’t apply to federal elections. The statute of limitations expired. The checks were written in 2017. The election was in 2016. Sorry to disappoint.

Nope. To conceal the felony that sent Cohen to jail. Glad we cleared that up. I'd rather not repeat myself to you again

Bragg hasn’t actually stated the crime he thinks trump intends to commit

You seem confused. He never made any such assertion. He said that there WAS (that's past tense) intent to cover up that felony mentioned above

I thought everyone has been saying that the hush money is just a misdemeanor.

Stop listening to those people then because they are wrong or lying. Cohen went to jail on a felony conviction

You failed to read your own linked post

The statute has NOT expired and these charges relate not to federal elections but to illegal financial alterations aiding a felony

Ever hear of a guy named Cohen? Served time for a felony

You poor thing. Just flailing about now.

Trump has not been charged with violating campaign laws.

For chrissakes, will you people PLEASE read the fucking indictment!?!

As for the statute of limitations, that clock stopped when Trump left the state. Sorry to disappoint.

Michael Cohen was convicted in federal court of violating a federal law. He went to prison.

Donald Trump is charged with making 34 false entries in his business records to cover up that federal crime which Cohen committed.

Is everyone finally caught up now?!?

Cohen was convicted for tax evasion. He made a plea deal that included other crimes.

From post #47
OMG. What part of "the FEC said paying the bimbos with his own money is NOT a campaign crime" don't you understand?
Bragg's charges are total bullshit. You all caught up now?

Braggs bullshit charges against Trump will be thrown out. We can keep repeating these factoids ad infinitum....

I'm waiting for a GOP DA to indict a democrat, like Hunter Biden for example.

/—-/ Funny thing, Fat Alvin never specified what crime Trump had committed.

Teabaggers just can't willingly comprehend anything, that doesn't come from their dear leader or FOX.

"Under New York state law, it is a felony to falsify business records with intent to defraud, intent to conceal another crime," Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said in a news conference after Trump's arraignment.

"That is exactly what this case is about: 34 false statements made to cover up other crimes. These are felony crimes in New York State no matter who you are. We cannot and will not normalize serious criminal conduct".

The charges allege that, beginning in mid-2015, Trump orchestrated a scheme with others to influence the 2016 presidential election. They allegedly identified and bought negative claims about him to suppress their publication to boost his electoral prospects.
By doing this they allegedly violated election laws and made false entries in the business records of various entities in New York. They also allegedly took steps that mischaracterized, for tax purposes, the true nature of the payments made in the scheme.

A fucking FELONY.
Dumbasses.

Yes the FDOTUS was notified of the crimes being charged, it's in the indictment. 34 counts of Falsifying Business Records in the First Degree (Class E Felony).

The ONLY thing that needs to be comprehended is that YOU demented avenger subverted demoralized zombies are using STALINIST BULLSHIT tactics to try to "get" your enemy, Trump.
What about the MILLLIONS of Americans that support MAGA?
How are you commies going to deal with US????
The track record of your Communist heroes points to mass murder.
Is that what you want????
