Keep in mind how incredibly dishonest NY is not just in how they carry out the laws there, but legislate them in the first place. Some laws are only intended to matter if a republican/Trump himself can be claimed to violate them.BREAKING: New York State Sen. Kevin Parker, who worked to pass the "Adult Survivors Act," which allowed E. Jean Carroll to go after Trump with accusations from 30 years ago, now says the law is unconstitutional after a r*pe lawsuit was filed against him. pic.twitter.com/G0qtmFgQhW

And the jury can just fill in the blank on their own of what that other crime was?Im Gipper said:
Another way of saying it:
That the defendant did so with intent to defraud that included an intent to commit another crime or to aid or conceal the commission of that other crime

So this is a fill in the blank test, with a word bank, and no possible wrong answers???

TOTAL ****ING CLOWN WORLD LOGIC!
A judge and jury assigned to determine guilt on that matter. It's BS you can escalate a misdemeanor to a felony based on a crime that has not been adjudicated.TXAggie2011 said:Are you trying to say that if this jury decides beyond a reasonable doubt that he had the intent to commit/conceal another crime, that its not been "ajudicated" whether he had the intent to commit/conceal another crime?WHOOP!'91 said:No "other crime" has been charged and adjudicated. That this jury can simply deem Trump guilty of this other crime seems unConstitutional to me.

Who should ajudicate that if not a jury?
aggiehawg said:
The judge is wrong.
So is any state statute that declares a defendant does not have a constiutional right to know of which behavior is the basis of the charges against him/her.
Take your TDS blinders off. This case as charged in the indictment is a farce and a sham with either a completely incompetent or an agenda driven judge presiding. State may still obtain a conviction but it will be reversed on appeal.
But getting the result correct in conformity with the law has never been the state's goal. Still isn't. They just want a conviction, any conviction before the election.
I hope Trump wins and immediately charges are brought in some ruby red district against Clinton and Obama campaigns for their frauds to cover up election interference. Throw both of them in jail for the rest of their lives.nortex97 said:
Trump is guilty of hiring a bad guy (Cohen) who manipulated/lied/colluded to defraud Trump with another proven liar who then over more than 10 years were paid multiple times for the lie about Trump's acts with a literal porn star shakedown artist and then didn't know how, post-election, the payments to keep this away from his family were recorded.
That's what's been proven.
Outside of the courtroom, the prosecution has been led by a team championed by an AG who campaigned on 'getting Trump' overtly and the lead prosecutor (Colangelo) was a Biden/DNC payee and no similar prosecutions were ever even contemplated for accounting 'errors' made by Hillary Clinton or NDA's signed by any number of former politicians (in NY) including but not limited to Rahm Emanuel.
Further, the judge is invested in the case via direct family and has limited character witness testimony/questions as to honesty/credibility of lead prosecution witnesses but allowed outlandish claims of personal fear/sex to be provided to the jury, and refused to recuse himself.
Every bit of this, and the farces in Fulton County and Cannon's court in Florida are why Trump is surging to a lead of as much as 12 points nationally vs. Biden/Kennedy.

My understanding is that all that is required for the NY State law to escalate Trump's fraudulent business transactions to a felony is that the fraud was committed in order to hide a felony, or that Trump believed it was. So, the DA only has to show that Trump believed that if he did not handle the situation they way he did (declaring Cohen's payments as "legal fees"), he would be guilty of violating federal laws.TXAggie2011 said:Have you ever heard the saying "the cover up was worse than the crime?"Quote:

Man, I am getting really excited to see this lawfare used on the left. Clinton, Obama, Abedin and Hunter have proven crimes ready to prosecute. Trump can strip Biden's privilege like Biden did to Trump, and we can finally learn the truth about the corruption, the 1000s of e-mails Biden sent under pseudonyms.Breggy Popup said:WHOOP!'91 said:Apparently, a jury can just deem someone guilty of another crime, even though it has never even been charged.

The point is the bolded comments you made only would be correct in fantasy land....and the bible verse you quote is a reach to be applicable. People make many transgressions in life, many of which are not crimes. Trump has certainly made transgressions in life, using that as justification to say he is getting what he deserves then is absurd. Sleeping with Stormy, Paying her off, his employees recording it as legal fees not directed by Trump to do so. Covering up transgressions is not the same as covering up a crime.WHOOP!'91 said:Apparently, a jury can just deem someone guilty of another crime, even though it has never even been charged.

This comes down to nitty gritty issues of who knew or said this or that based on emails, texts, daily practice, etc., which is exactly the kind of issue a jury exists to wade through and decide.
We'll see what else the state can show over the next couple of weeks.
