Is Braggs stretching it with a felony?

#1 Trump isn’t charged with bribes.

#2 The Daniels payment by Cohen was Oct 2016, Trumps first check was Feb 2017. That’s 4 months not “over a year” later and only 1 after being sworn in as President.

2 is factually incorrect

1. Cohen's illegal campaign contribution occurred in October 2016 when he took out a personal loan against his house, established the shell company, deposited the money in the shell company account, and then paid Daniels for the NDA.

2. As show above the Grand Jury indicted Trump and the first check was cut in February 2017.

3. NOV - DEC - JAN - FEB, roughly speaking is 4 months.

Said it before so read it
There is no “bribe” when the event already happened and then the money issues arise well afterward.
Also, it’s perfectly fine and legal for Trump to pay a woman to not talk about sexual issues.
Your entire uproar is rooted in fallacy

1. Trump isn't charged with a bribe, he's charged with falsification of business records, allegedly to hide the illegal campaign contribution made by Cohen later reimbursed by the Trump through his business.

2. You are correct, it is not illegal to pay someone for an NDA. Trump isn't charged with paying someone for the NDA. It is the alleged money laundering scheme used to make the payment that was illegal.

3. Now Trump could have done it legally. Cohen negotiates the NDA, Trump cuts a check for $130K to Daniels out of a personal acco8unt, Trump reports it to the FEC as a candidate campaign contribution and expenses the payment of FEC filings. See a candidate CAN make unlimited contributions to their own campaign. However federal law requires the candidate to report such contributions to the FEC and at the time indicate if the donation was (a) a loan to be paid back later, or (b) a non-loan contribution with no expectations of being paid back.

I read he has to prove willful intent to commit a crime and not some bookkeeping entry error. We'll see.
I think it would be pretty easy to prove willful intent in regard to falsification of business records. Bragg has the check register and all business check register have a line for the purpose of the check. I can't believe Trump wrote pay off the whores and hide it. In every owner business I have seen, what goes in check register is what goes in business records with little variation.
 
Which means that the Bragg case is bogus on its face. Remember he's claiming that the payments TRUMP made to Cohen were to influence voters in the 2016 election, but the payments that TRUMP made weren't made until 2017...LONG AFTER the election so how could Trump's payments "influenced voters?"
I think after Bragg makes his opening statement at the trial, the jurors are going be asking why would Cohen spend over over $300,000 in hushmoney and over $100,000 in legal fees if Trump did not commit to pay him back.

The evidence is going to show that Cohen's cost in legal fees and hushmoney was $420,000 which happen to be the amount of money that Trump paid Cohen in 2017-18, 12 payments of $35,000 which equals the $420,000 invoiced by Cohen. If Trump's lawyers don't succeed in getting evidence throw out, Trump will likely be fount guilty.

However, there is still lot's of unknows. Will there be recorded phone conversations between Trump and Cohen linking Trump to the hushmoney. Will both Cohen and and representative's of the Enquirer link Trump to payments and the election. And then there's the question of whether all the evidence in the Cohen investigation involving Trump will be available to Bragg. And of course the evidence from Trump's defense is unknown. Despite the evidence that Brag is likely to have, it could go either ways.

For Trump, that is true provided Trump declares the payments campaign contributions and campaign expenses. Trump sure as hell was not going to do that so he turned to Cohen his lawyer to make this all go away so it would not effect the election. It seemed Cohen did just that and Trump started reimbursing Cohen the month after he took office. The problem came about when the FBI started an investigation of Cohen and then the whole convoluted scheme to isolate himself and trump from the hushmoney payments fell apart. Cohen confessed and implicated Trump. Cohen went to jail and was disbarred and the DOJ decide they would not go after the sitting president.

They are going to be asking why Cohen went to jail and why Trump shouldn't go to jail.

Trump wasn't indicted for FEC campaign violations, that was Cohen. Trump was indicted for falsification of business records in the first degree.

The FEC has nothing to do with Trump's indictment.

The part that implies Trump was illegally “buying silence”
Also the part that has a states attorney trying to run federal charges through his state.
Part of your fakery is the excessive indexing you use. That fools zero thinkers.

Bragg did not indict Trump on any federal charges.
