Bragg is hoping to get a dumb racist Democrat jury that will convict Trump on anything.
And he probably will.
NYC is a Democrat shithole.

What are you hoping for that will clear Trump?

It the purpose is to increase your chances of winning an election and you did not reported the hush money as a campaign contribution and a campaign expense, it would be a violation of election laws.

John Edwards ever heard of him?

Pointing out your ignorance is appropriate on any thread.

To establish Trump's guilt in the hush money payoff, all Bragg has to do is to establish that Cohen was acting as Trump's lawyer and at his instructed Cohen carried out the hush money payments. A court has already established the hush money payoffs were illegal and that Cohen did it. If Cohen was acting on behalf of Trump, Trump is also guilty. This seem simple because Bragg has strong evidence that Trump did pay Cohen and most probably he has evidence of requesting Cohen to carryout the hush money payments.

To establish Trump's guilt in falsifying records to conceal the illegal hush money payments, Bragg has check stubs, invoices and transaction records that Trump used to establish the expenditures on the books as legal fees which is false. That is good enough for a misdemeanor charge. Bragg will have to convince the jury that the purpose was to conceal his guilt in the hush money payments.

If Bragg can do the above, Trump will be guilty of felony charges.

1. The FEC has already said that hush money payments using your own money and not campaign funds is LEGAL.
2. What "court" established the payoffs were illegal, I call bullshit. See links below.

FEC drops investigation into Trump hush money payments

The Federal Elections Commission (FEC) has closed its investigation into whether former President Trump illegally made hush money payments to women prior to the 2016 election. The FEC vot…

thehill.com

The FEC voted 4-1 to close the inquiry after failing to find that Trump or his campaign “knowingly and willfully” violated campaign finance law when his former attorney Michael Cohen paid $130,000 to porn star Stormy Daniels to keep her from disclosing an alleged affair. Cohen was convicted in 2018 of lying to Congress, tax evasion and other charges relating to the payments to Daniels and other women. He served three years in prison.

A Federal Election Commission member rejected the premise behind Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's 34-count felony indictment of former President Donald Trump, saying that hush-money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels is "not a campaign finance violation."

------------------------------------------------
Those '34 counts' ain't the whole story.
All they are doing is setting a marker for what is to come.
Establishing a predicate.
(First, a caveat: I ain't a lawyer)

If Bragg can prove that some ....not necessarily all 34....of these 'falsifying records' charges are true, then per New York law (as I understand it) showing that the falsifying was done to: cover up a action that could hurt Trump's electoral prospect; or, that Trump recorded the payments as a legitimate business expense and thus paid less tax than otherwise. Or that it was falsified to cover up any other crime....whatever crime the DA can show. And that means it doesn't even need to be a 'crime' that Trump committed. It is the 'cover up' of a crime that levers the 'falsifying' into felony-land.

And poster kyzr above states he hasn't seen a 'felony' listed in his reading of the 34 counts. And others have stated they haven't read what the underlying 'crime' would be.

Well, if they are reading it for that.....they can stop. It ain't there. Nor need it be. Yet. The NY DA is not required to list the 'underlying' crime at this point. And is likely ---perhaps wisely ---electing NOT to show his full hand. He will have to, oh sure. But not yet.

In short, I kinda look at those 34 counts as sort of a fishnet.....or sticky fly-trap. One of the counts...and it need only be one.....will be shown to be true (receipts, recordings, documents, testimony, etc.) ... and Bragg then proves to the jury that that payment was intended to cover up Crime A, or maybe Crime B, or C, or D, yadda, yadda, yadda.

And that is the Bada...and the Bing.

Since you ain't a lawyer, maybe you should read what a Law Professor says before you post horse shit.

That's another odd thing there aren't 34 felonies but 34 misdemeanors strung together to somehow magically make it one felony.
