The more I learn about the Trump trial the more I realize its all fraud and lies
Poast new message in this thread
Date: May 14th, 2024 12:03 AM Author: Embarrassed To The Bone Razzmatazz Newt They literally cannot prove a crime occurred. The entire case is based on subjective opinion and hearsay. They don't have Trump anywhere saying, "Would you please pay off Stormy Daniels with my election money? I need her to keep quiet so I can win the Presidency. And definitely hide it so no one finds out. Make it a fake line item. I will sign off on this once it's done."
I mean... it's having to prove so many different subjective elements. It's so crazy. It's all interpretation. There's no factual basis for a crime and no legal basis. There's neither legal nor evidentiary basis of a crime. Not any. Who is the victim of the non-crime? The people of New York? Who were defrauded by the not fraud? Unbelievable. |

Date: May 14th, 2024 9:43 AM Author: self-centered cordovan orchestra pit even if it should have come from the campaign, there is no evidence that trump directed it to come from his personal funds knowing that.
“I don’t know if you know but I tweeted about the payments,” Trump said in the "Fox & Friends" interview, pushing back. “But they didn’t come out of the campaign. In fact, my first question when I heard about it was, did they come out of the campaign, because that could be a little dicey. And they didn’t come out of the campaign and that’s big.”
He added: “But they weren’t .... that’s not even a campaign violation.”
if trump *knew* the funds were supposed to come from campaign funds, why would he go public saying that they came from his personal; funds as a defense? even if the funds should have come from the campaign, and trump directed they come from his personal funds, the evidence shows that he *thought* that was proper! there is no evidence that even if he directed them to come from his personal funds there was criminal intent! |

Date: May 14th, 2024 12:34 AM Author: ruby philosopher-king indian lodge I was somewhat mocked for this and admittedly don't understand crim procedure, but i don't get how the fuck this this is in front of a jury?
What is the jury even deciding here? It seems like the facts are pretty clear, and the prosecution can't really even articulate what the crime is.
It's 100% going to be in appeals for decades over like 30 different issues with the prosecution's case. It seems crazy to have this "trial" now where it seems like the jury is just going to decide if they feel like Trump committed an undefined federal crime (because the NY AG can't charge that crime and doesn't seem to be even articulating what that crime is...) |
|
Date: May 14th, 2024 12:35 AM Author: Embarrassed To The Bone Razzmatazz Newt Trump said they had 8 years to bring these charges and only did it now for political reasons. Seems blatantly obvious. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5528327&forum_id=2#47659710) |
|
Date: May 14th, 2024 12:41 AM Author: ruby philosopher-king indian lodge That's one of the huge issues for appeals.
The NY charges are actually a misdemeanor and the SOL has run out of them.
They need to show the fraud was part of a crime to get it to a felony - but they're relying on a federal crime to get the NY crime to a felony (otherwise the NY crime is outside the SOL).
This stuff is really a house of cards. |
|
Date: May 14th, 2024 12:44 AM Author: Embarrassed To The Bone Razzmatazz Newt I am hoping for the jury to return the correct verdict and nip it in the bud. But yeah it's a reach. It's obviously a misdemeanor. You also have the fact that there is no way possible the state would be looking into some random guy for this crime from 8 years ago if it wasn't their political opponent. I believe Hunter actually had some charges dropped because they said that it would be unreasonable for them to have investigated a regular person for so long on it.

so they are charging him with a felony connected to a misdemeanor that was never charged and for which the SOL has long passed?
Wouldn't that just allow a prosecutor in NY to charge a felony under this statute connected to a misdemeanor that occurred like 80 years ago? If the SOL has passed then there is no time limit.
Also, they have to show "intent to defraud"...who exactly is the one he is alleged to have defrauded? |

Not how it works. I sued RT for violating RICO, but didn't sue him for civil mail fraud. You think RT has a great issue for appeal on that one? |
|
Date: May 14th, 2024 2:47 PM Author: self-centered cordovan orchestra pit i'm not saying a person MUST be charged with a second crime. i'm saying that the only reason he's not charged with a second crime here is because they don't even have a singular theory on what that second crime is.
you discussed the NY election law as being a possible "second crime" below. so why wasn't he charged with that? if he did violate that law it is possible that he didn't misclassify his records to promote or conceal it. so why wouldn't they charge him with the object offense too?
answer the answer is obvious and the prosecution has pretty much just said it -- they're throwing everything at the wall and seeing what sticks. they want to show that trump attempt to violate some amorphous, undefined "second crime." but if they actually believed he misclassified the records in further of a second crime, they'd have a theory on what that second crime is. |
|
Date: May 14th, 2024 2:52 PM Author: Adventurous trailer park "because they don't even have a singular theory on what that second crime is"
Just like with the RT case, they'll have to specify this crime and its elements in the jury instructions.
"the NY election law as being a possible "second crime" below. so why wasn't he charged with that?"
I don't specifically know, but there's neither a statutory or constitutional requirement to charge a defendant with every possible crime.
"if they actually believed he misclassified the records in further of a second crime, they'd have a theory on what that second crime is"
Pretty sure this will have to be in the jury instructions. |
|
Date: May 14th, 2024 2:57 PM Author: self-centered cordovan orchestra pit my point is that they don't *truly* believe trump attempted or committed a second crime, which is why they didn't charge it, and in fact refused to specify one when asked. i understand that this was done for strategic reasons. the fact that they are resorting to this strategic maneuvers to try to convict a major party candidate and former potus of a class e felony with an attenuated legal theory goes to show what their motivations are. they're not trying to uphold the law and do justice, they're trying to get trump any way they can. that's fine in civil matters. i think it's pretty disgusting they are leveraging the criminal courts in this way though.

|
Date: May 14th, 2024 3:04 PM Author: Adventurous trailer park "which is why they didn't charge it"
You're just guessing here. A shorter statute of limitations on that offense would be one obvious potential answer, but there could be many other reasons.
I'm sure the Italian crime families were really mad that they didn't indict the Irish mob or whoever else, and probably felt like they were being picked on. It's not clear to me why a person should think that prosecutors should refrain from pursuing charges against people on the grounds that they're running for elected office. But FWIW, Bob Menendez agrees strongly with your position. |
|
Date: May 14th, 2024 3:07 PM Author: self-centered cordovan orchestra pit you're right i'm just guessing. this was a shitpost on xo. i wasn't asserting that they legally had to charge the second crime or that this is literally the 100% reason. to be clear, i was saying that not charging him with the second crime is a strong indication that they don't believe a second crime occurred themselves.

|
Date: May 14th, 2024 3:22 PM Author: Adventurous trailer park "not charging him with the second crime is a strong indication that they don't believe"
And you'll further agree that if, for example, the SOL had passed on that by the time they got sufficient evidence from Cohen or whomever, the fact that it wasn't charged isn't an "indication" of anything at all? |
|
Date: May 14th, 2024 3:32 PM Author: self-centered cordovan orchestra pit maybe in some circumstances, but not here when they had ample time to press charges before the SOL tolled. also, this is strongly rebutted by other factors such as them refusing to state what specifically is the second crime they are alleging.

|
Date: May 14th, 2024 5:52 PM Author: Adventurous trailer park "they had ample time to press charges before the SOL tolled"
1. "tolled" isn't the word. 2. What is the SOL on those offenses? 3. On what date did they interview Cohen and learn the details he just testified to?
It's fine that you don't know 1, but unless you know the answer to both 2 and 3, you don't have any basis to make that assertion. Since you don't have any basis for that statement, you'll have to admit that you made it without knowing whether it was true, likely because you're mad that people are being mean 2 Trump. |

the other two don't matter. i already said whether the SOL expired or not doesn't matter. i don't know whether it has or not honestly. |

|
Date: May 14th, 2024 10:28 PM Author: ruby philosopher-king indian lodge This is a stupid logically reason fail of an argument.
Capone could be charged for failing to apy taxes on his income. You don't need the second crime.
Here the prosecutors can't charge the misdemeanor becuase of SOL, they can only charge teh felony, which can only be charged if they have a second crime. |

This isn't actually unusual. For example the feds often bring RICO charges where the SOL on the underlying predicate acts has long expired. |

even if trump personally directed for the money to come from his personal funds rather than campaign funds because he was trying to cover up the catch-and-kill scheme because he thought it was illegal, he still wins because that scheme was not illegal.
catch-and-kill schemes are not illegal. seeking to plug leaks of negative facts to influence and election is not illegal. id bet that nearly every campaign has attempted to suppress bad press in some way. whether he asked stormy not to talk about it or whether he paid her not to is irrelevant. you don't think every candidate in history has skeletons they've avoided getting public? |

of course that makes no sense because there's no evidence that anyone in trump's circle knew how cohen was handling his own accounting. and cohen's misreporting happened after trump's payments of course. so trump would have had to misrecorded his own books to promote or conceal cohen's misreporting. i doubt trump wanted cohen to misreport his books anyway, why would he? this catch-and-kill scheme is legal. there's no requirement that it be recorded as "hush money payments to stormy daniels." even if these were all properly reported as campaign contributions, the legal catch-and-kill scheme would not be revealed, much less the details of it. |

Date: May 14th, 2024 12:23 PM Author: self-centered cordovan orchestra pit the lib pumo is a retard and doesn't even know the prosecutor's theory.
no one is arguing that recording this as "legal expenses" was unlawful. obviously paying a lawyer to execute a legal agreement and reimbursing him for expenses are legal expenses. the argument is that this was structured as a retainer and paid out over time in order to disguise the repayment. and that the timing of the payments was unlawful.
this all might be true, but if anyone thinks trump was in the weeds on the accounting on this they are insane. and even if he was that it was done in this way to conceal the scheme itself. what, if he just recorded it as a lump sum people would have guessed it was a hush money payment? or if he recorded it as a lump sum for legal services in his campaign records? everyone knew cohen was trump's lawyer and so it would not raise any red flags to see payments to him.
also, all of this occurred in january 2017. you know, when trump was president-elect and scrambling to put an administration together? even under ordinary circumstances trump is obviously not in the weeds on accounting minutiae for matters under $1m, likely not ever. if you think he was in fucking january 2017 you are out of your mind. of course, this is the mind of people with TDS. although i think in their heart of hearts they know trump is innocent but are ok with him being convicted of anything regardless of whether he is guilty. they want to seem him hang and don't care how it happens. |

what's the crux here is that this misclassification could not have done to promote or conceal a second crime, because there is no second crime. a catch-and-kill scheme is legal. operating a catch-and-kill scheme to prevent legal yet potentially damaging information from coming to light in order to influence an election is legal. this misclassification happened after the election anyway. so what is the second crime?
even if trump personally and knowing it was unlawful structured and recorded the payments in this fashion, what crime was he seeking to promote or conceal by doing so? |
|
Date: May 14th, 2024 1:08 PM Author: Adventurous trailer park "the trump organization is likely guilty of the misdemeanor of misclassifying business records"
Sec. 175.05: "*A person is guilty* of falsifying business records in the second degree when, with intent to defraud, he: 1. Makes or *causes a false entry* in the business records of an enterprise"
I gather they're alleging that Trump caused the false entries to be made.
"because there is no second crime"
You're just declaring that. I gather they're alleging that spending money to advance a political campaign while misclassifying it as a "legal expense" is a violation of some NY election statute.
"this misclassification happened after the election anyway"
Why would that matter? You can't amend your 2022 tax filing in 2024 with some false entries, but say "I made those false entries well after 2022."
"what crime was he seeking to promote or conceal by doing so"
I gather it has something to do with NY campaign/election law. |

§ 175.10 Falsifying business records in the first degree.
A person is guilty of falsifying business records in the first degree when he commits the crime of falsifying business records in the second degree, and when his intent to defraud includes an intent to commit another crime or to aid or conceal the commission thereof"
"I gather they're alleging that spending money to advance a political campaign while misclassifying it as a "legal expense" is a violation of some NY election statute."
it's clear at this point you haven't even done cursory research on this. but they need to establish a second crime. your circular argument here makes no sense. how can the misclassification itself be the second crime?
"Why would that matter?"
because one of the "second crime" theories is "unlawfully promoting a candidate", and so the misclassification could not have been done to promote trump since it occurred after the election
"I gather it has something to do with NY campaign/election law."
it's actually mostly theories involving federal campaign laws, which is why it's so funny you jumped all over doodikoff for asking about a federal statute. |

"it's clear at this point you haven't even done cursory research on this. but they need to establish a second crime. your circular argument here makes no sense. how can the misclassification itself be the second crime?"
I don't follow. The recordation is the 175.05 misdemeanor, and the crime that it "conceals" is a violation of some kind of election law.
"because one of the "second crime" theories is "unlawfully promoting a candidate", and so the misclassification could not have been done to promote trump since it occurred after the election"
I'm just guessing here, but I expect that campaign funding laws can be deemed violated by post-election book-keeping activities, just like tax laws can be violated by things you do after the tax year has passed.
"it's actually mostly theories involving federal campaign laws"
I got the NY notion from what that law professor wrote: "How would Trump even know about the obscure New York Election Law § 17.152 provision that he is being accused of intentionally concealing?" |

the statute says ANOTHER crime. so if the misclassification violates a campaign finance law as well it's not relevant. you can use the misclassification as the ANOTHER crime just because it violates another law. not even the prosecution is arguing that.
"I'm just guessing here, but I expect that campaign funding laws can be deemed violated by post-election book-keeping activities, just like tax laws can be violated by things you do after the tax year has passed."
there is no doubt that the misclassification can be unlawful even though it occurred after the election. the issue is that it can't have been done to "promote a candidate" when it occurred after the election. note that no one is arguing that the catch-and-kill scheme was illegal, which is why they are quibbling with record violations.
"I got the NY notion from what that law professor wrote: "How would Trump even know about the obscure New York Election Law § 17.152 provision that he is being accused of intentionally concealing?""
that is one of the prosecutions theories but most rely on federal election laws. even in this NY statute they are arguing the "unlawful" element is satisfied by a violation of federal law. |
|
Date: May 14th, 2024 2:58 PM Author: Adventurous trailer park "if the misclassification violates a campaign finance law as well it's not relevant."
I haven't read, but I assume the campaign finance violation isn't the recordation itself, but the submission of a report of some kind that is based on the falseness.
"can't have been done to "promote a candidate" when it occurred after the election"
I think the "promote a candidate" charge is alleged under a conspiracy theory, isn't it? If the conspiracy begins with an agreement to pay Stormy to promote the candidate and was carried through to the recordation, that's a very typical use of conspiracy theory in criminal charges.

they don't even know. they've thrown a bunch of theories against the wall. my question to you is whether *YOU* think trump is guilty and why or why not. you can pick one of the myriad of second crime theories the prosecution lays out. i don't think any of them hold water.
"If the conspiracy begins with an agreement to pay Stormy to promote the candidate and was carried through to the recordation, that's a very typical use of conspiracy theory in criminal charges."
no one is arguing that the payments to stormy or the catch-and-kill scheme was unlawful. that is why they are focusing on recordation violations. if the scheme was lawful, and the scheme was used to promote trump, how does recordation violations have been part of the conspiracy to promote the candidate considering they all occurred after the election? |
|
Date: May 14th, 2024 3:14 PM Author: Adventurous trailer park The answer to your first question is I don't know since I haven't seen the forthcoming jury instructions about the second crime. Have you?
Your second point just seems to quibble with how conspiracy theory is routinely understood. |
|
Date: May 14th, 2024 3:27 PM Author: self-centered cordovan orchestra pit no, i have no read the jury instructions that have not been drafted yet. but i do know the facts and the law, and believe he is not guilty for the reasons i've expressed itt. as a lawyer you could also do this without the aid of jury instructions.
it's not a quibble. if the conspiracy was to unlawfully influence an election, than the conspiracy would have to include acts that occurred preceding the election. at best you could argue there was a conspiracy to unlawful cover up lawful acts after the election. but that couldn't have been used to promote a candidate unlawfully. |

i know what charges trump has been indicted for. frankly, it doesn't matter what the second crime they're alleging because it's clear that trump isn't in the fucking weeds directing how small payments like this are structured and recorded, nor is he even aware of campaign finance laws to ever be able to form the requisite mens rea required here. |

but worse than that it seems like you're making fun of him for even thinking that a federal statute was violated. however the prosecution has explicitly laid out several federal laws as a hook for the "second crime." so, if that's the case, you're the one wrong here. |

The indictment is somehow silent on that part. I can't find it anywhere else either, and in fact it was cited above the following (by the prosecution) "In addition, there is "no requirement that the People allege or establish what particular crime was intended." People v. Mahboubian, 74 N.Y.2d 174, 193 (1989). Rather, the People need only establish "general intent to commit [or conceal] a crime . . . not [defendant's] intent to commit [or conceal] a specific crime." People v. Thompson, 206 A.D.3d 1708, 1708 (4th Dep't 2022); see also People v. Mackey, 49 N.Y.2d 274, 279 (1980)"

their theory is that the statute punishes criminal intent, and it doesn't matter if the second crime was even attempted. which makes sense -- someone can be guilty of falsifying business records because they were going to attempt a crime that they ultimately didn't do. but if *they* can't even allege what the second crime trump attempted was, how the fuck could *trump* have had criminal intent? |

no one at his level is like this. this is what lawyers and accountants are for. i'm sure he said "yeah, pay cohen X." but there's no fucking way trump did directed specifically how it would be recorded, let alone that he directed in this manner with criminal intent.
after this shit came to light he went on fox & friends and bragged about how he recorded it as a personal expense. why would he admit that if the whole reason he recorded it that way was to cover up some other crime? |

Wait, dID yOU ReaD or even skim the opposition brief you linked? There are a couple of pages at 23-25 that discuss federal and NY election law interchangeably, then pages 32-37 are specific only to NY election law.

My friend John Edwards would like a word. |
|
Date: May 14th, 2024 5:58 PM Author: self-centered cordovan orchestra pit first, i was referring to the federal classified docs case.
second, i seem to recall that john was charged with receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign donations that were used to fund his lover and child. not only was this case brought federally, where campaign finance violations are almost always brought, but is was that edwards was spending campaign money to fund his ex to keep the news from being leaked.
in this case, trump *DID* use his own money! yet for some reason people think that the money should have come from campaign funds in trumps case? i suppose if you pay a woman off using a campaign funds without an NDA it's illegal, but if you do it with an NDA is must come from the campaign? seems like a bullshit distinction, which is *probably* why a justice department willing to charge trump with stupid classified documents charges declined to charge him for any campaign finance violations.
seems odd you'd bring up edwards since the distinction between these two cases demonstrates further why the case against trump is bullshit. |
|
Date: May 14th, 2024 6:06 PM Author: Adventurous trailer park Oh sorry, in that case my response is:
"a very minor and never-before-prosecuted way"
Since no POTUS has concealed classified docs in the way Drumpf did, one can hardly be surprised that it's not previously been prosecuted against a POTUS. But it's prosecuted against fed employees all the time, and without the courtesy of subpoenas and months of pleading. |

Date: May 14th, 2024 6:19 PM Author: self-centered cordovan orchestra pit or perhaps it's common and no one has ever prosecuted before because of how stupid and common it is. for example, i also seem to recall joe biden had a bunch of documents at his house. although i guess the facts here are somewhat different since biden was only VPOTUS and didn't have the power to declassify trump did.

Date: May 14th, 2024 5:23 PM Author: self-centered cordovan orchestra pit not through official channels.
the argument is that the whole classification system is based an executive order, therefore a former president cannot violate it for documents that entered his possession as POTUS. or that he can declassify them in any way he chooses, including just thinking it.
although he kind of fucked that potential argument because there is testimony he showed people some of them and was like "i could have declassified them, but i didn't" |
