Trump’s history-making hush-money trial begins ...(Mod Warning)

And you have, well, you.

I win.

 

NO, it DIDN'T...
Thx for the laughs, though...

 

Trump was NY resident and state laws prohibit making a false entry in the business records claiming the payments were for legal services that were never rendered.

"New York law states that falsifying business records rises to a felony when an individual’s “intent to defraud includes an intent to commit another crime or to aid or conceal the commission thereof"

 

FFS!

Hearing that Judge Merchan on his day off from Trump/lawyers lying about covering up his sexcapades has to deal with Trump's despicable criminal buddy Bannon who with his despicable buddys stole millions from Americans.."We Build The Wall".

You can't make this **** up!

 

“Well, I Bluesguy have massive experience as an internet lawyer and in my opinion the judge is wrong, and stuff because of things and and other stuff.”

 

I wonder what’s going to happen with Trump’s new set of contempt of court claims.

 

I'm sure Lawrence will still be laughing.on his show tonight.

Stunning moment late today as recording is played of conversation between Trump & Cohen before the election where Cohen tells Trump he spoke to Weisselberg about how to set up the shell company to pay off Stormy. Trump says: “I hope this goes away quickly.”

In spirit for sure.

 

Gosh , was the “shell company” an LLC ?

We all know that righties and MAGA types associate LLC’s with concealment and criminal activity.

How will they explain this ? Did the Orange Stain try and conceal his hush money payoffs ?

The horror !

 

Tom said ELECTION law. Which is why you want to instead talk about business records law.

 

'If you’re looking for the clearest statement of Bragg’s legal theory, you can find it in a November 2023 court filing opposing Trump’s motion to dismiss the case, along with Merchan’s ruling on that motion. Notably, in that ruling, Merchan clarified that § 175.10 “does not require that the ‘other crime’ actually be committed”—“all that is required is that defendant … acted with a conscious aim and objective to commit another crime.”

In his filing, Bragg sets out four potential object offenses: violations of federal campaign finance law under the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA); violations of New York Election Law § 17-152; violations of federal, local, and state tax law; and additional falsifications of business records outside the Trump Organization. Merchan allowed Bragg to move forward with the first three theories but tossed out the last one.'

For years Trump loved his sleazebag lying buddies at the National Enquirer, Pecker & Dylan Howard along with his pit-bull Cohen and all of a sudden he/lawyers have a problem with the sleaze lawyer Kieth Davidson?

Oh, the irony.

 

In the definitions section of
Section 17-100 - Definitions, N.Y. Elec. Law § 17-100 | Casetext Search + Citator
It states
4. The term "public officer" as used in this article shall be deemed to apply to any person who holds an elective or appointive office of the state, separate authority or any political subdivision of the state with authority to supervise other personnel within such subdivisions. The term "public employee" shall be deemed to apply to all other personnel of the state or such authorities or subdivisions.

Doesnt apply to Federal elections. Like I said

Youve been shown.

 

Color us surprised at Trump's stupidity.
Not.


Trump Makes Up Excuse, Says He Can’t Testify at Criminal Trial'
‘I’m not allowed to testify, I’m under a gag order.’

snips:

"Trump: I'm not allowed to testify. I'm under a gag order, I guess, right? I can’t even testify. We are going to appeal the gag order. I’d love to answer that question. It's a very easy question, the easiest question so far, but I'm not allowed to testify because this judge, who is totally conflicted, has me under an unconstitutional gag order. Nobody has ever had that before. We don't like it, and it's not fair. Other people are allowed to do whatever they want to us, and... I'm not allowed to talk. There's never been an abuse like this before. This conflicted judge ought to get out of this case. He should not be having this case. He gives us nothing. It's such a rigged court. So, I'm not allowed to testify because of an unconstitutional gag order. We are appealing the gag order. Let’s see what happens.


"Karen Friedman Agnifilo pointed out on CNN, the gag order has nothing to do with his testimony and Trump has ‘the absolute right to testify.’ '

The above quote is an excellent example of what he knows and expects his "followers" to believe and then parrot.

 

Not quite:

'First Degree Falsifying Business Records: NY Penal Law 175.10'
As addressed in the general information page detailing the two crimes of Falsifying Business Records, a District Attorney - whether Manhattan (New York County), Brooklyn (Kings County), Queens, Westchester, Rockland or anywhere else - can elevate nominal misdemeanor conduct to an arrest for or allegation of First Degree Falsifying Business Records. A class "E" felony, New York Penal Law 175.10 is no minor matter. In fact, upon conviction a judge has the discretion to sentence you to multiple years in prison even if you have no criminal history. Far from a trifle accusation, should you find yourself charged with this offense or facing the prospect of a Grand Jury indictment or trial, consult with criminal defense counsel who can identify and implement your best defense.

FIRST DEGREE FALSIFYING BUSINESS RECORDS: DEFINITION AND ELEMENTS

Falsifying Business Records in the First Degree occurs when you violate any of the four subsections of the lesser misdemeanor offense and an Assistant District Attorney can prove beyond a reasonable doubt additional elements. Coupling to the crime of New York Penal Law 175.05, prosecutors must establish that your intent to defraud involved further criminal intent to either hide the commission of another crime or to assist in the commission of that other crime. Because of this additional offense requirement, it is routine practice for prosecutors to charge potentially more serious transgressions alongside a Penal Law 175.10 case at the time of arrest or when the matter is presented to a Grand Jury. Although you should discuss the spectrum of felony and misdemeanor crimes you may face with your criminal defense attorney, these charges often include Grand Larceny, Forgery and Criminal Possession of a Forged Instrument.'

Off to Jimmy Kimmel to be featured tomorrow night.
Trump has been and remains a comictragedy.
Kimmel should have his own Trump thread here.

 

LIKE I SAID, TOM was referring to ELECTION LAW and thats precisely why YOU want to instead talk about business records laws instead. Because you have nothing relevant to respond to the topic of discussion.

 

What an hill Blanche chose to die on.

While addressing the press outside the Manhattan courtroom on Thursday, Trump insisted that the gag order would block his testimony after being asked when he intends to take the stand. The ex-president's lawyer Todd Blanche appeared to nod in agreement while the false claim was made.3 hours ago

????? Kieth Davidson didnt represent the National Enquirer and they and Trump likely always had a problem with him.

 

Federal Election Commission already looked at this and determined they were not bringing charges. Trump and Bidens DOJ looked at it and never brought charges.
