I gave you the date of the Order. You can't got look it up all by yourself?
Here. The prosecution's "second crime" publicly revealed in February 2024 (and briefed by prosecution even earlier in 2023) to anyone who can read English.
I just read the link. What was the crime? Don't point to the link again. Tell us.
I will point again to the link to the Court Order of February 15, 2024, specifically the pages I referred to. I will dispute that you ever read it. The judge in the case specifically told Trump's lawyers and YOU and everyone on earth with an internet connection what the "second crime" is. If you are dyslexic, that's your handicap, not anyone else's.
i think the issue here is that noone thinks donald didnt have sex with stormy or pay her off.
the problem is the leap that this is election fraud - that is the third world bs.
However, donald being donald, went after stormy and the bookkeeping, NOT the link to election fraud.
since he didnt bother to disprove election fraud, when the jury decided he screwed stormy and paid her, which is fair, the 'second' charge of election fraud became automatic.

Exactly. Trump had an easy path to victory and that was to keep his defense narrow. To argue that he is a super big shot and had nothing to do with how things were documented by his accountant. All day long that should have been his defense. That was the piece of evidence that needed Cohen's narrative. And he could have introduced reasonable doubt.
But Trump is a pompous A-hole that always overestimates his intelligence. And an attorney must obey his clients wishes about how to mount their defense.
Many legal experts have been pounding the table that for Trump, less is more! Don't confuse and put the jury to sleep. Blanche and Trump did that. 7 hour cross of Cohen?
I would guess if you surveyed the jurors today they would probably reveal that they have no idea what Trump's defense was. Because it was lost in the weeds.
And at least one of those jurors is a Trump fan. He subscribed to Truth Social
Exactly, one juror confirmed they watched Fox News regularly and received news from the Daily Mail. Another juror confirmed their main source of political news was Truth Social and Twitter.
Both of these jurors signed off that Trump was guilty of all 34 charges.
How many people have paid someone off to keep their mouth shut, and deducted the payment on their taxes as an expense? I can think of only one.
You never heard of a settlement? They're very common in corporate America. And they are included in legal expenses. They are never called "hush money" in financial statements. The jury was not allowed to hear that.
Corporate settlements are included as legal expenses, a personal settlement by one of the executives to a woman to keep quiet about extramarital sex and then business records changed to cover the fact the payment was ever made is what Trump is guilty of.
He's not been found guilty of poor accounting, he's been found guilty of deliberately changing records. That has repercussions for investors and the IRS, which is why it's a felony.
Can someone explain to me how a (recently) convicted felon is a good shot to be elected as US President?
Because one of our two political parties (and their voters) has decided that they are above the law and any amount of lying, corruption, criminality, etc can be 100% excused as them simply making sure they win. And winning is all they care about because they want America to have single party rule and to have the justice system destroyed so that the courts only serve the political goals of their party instead of serving the law - they want America to turn into Russia or North Korea, which is why Trump likes the rulers of those countries so much.

And because their voters are the dumbest people on the planet, which you can tell from every single thing they say, especially when they try to defend Trump.

Because America is extreme capitalism and everyone everything is for profit. If a criminal has promised to give us more money, we will elect him no matter his past present and future records. To dilute our moral compass, we call it American Christian way as all transgressions will be forgiven if he is one of us.

The Order to which you refer mention several legal theories, such as violation of tax laws, violation of Federal Election laws. Could I be charged with a moving violation and never find out until jury instructions whether it was speeding, failure to yield, or whatever else?

Sadly, it's not clear which party you are referring to.

My point is that there is no explanation. I can point to an advanced Mathematics book, claim to understand it perfectly, and tell the listener to go read it. I can't be bothered to explain it.

He spelled out TRUMP.
Your attempt to confuse this shows you have no decency.
