There does not need to be a benefit to oneself, just an intent to defraud.
So, please explain how I’m too biased to understand when you’re the one making stuff up.
What was the intent to defraud?
What was the other crime?
First explain how:
Falsifying business records, a violation of New York state law, constitutes the entry of inaccurate information on a business document to benefit oneself.
That was your claim. Were you just making sh*t up because you’re a moron or were you lying because you thought nobody would call you on it.

What do you think "defraud" means you utter f*cking moron???????

The defrauding is the personal benefit.
You are too stupid for words.
When you're doing trying to untwist this pretzel of stupidity you've put yourself into you can move on to trying to explain exactly who Trump was defrauding.
Maybe you could put that tiny diseased brain to work explaining how business records that no voter knew about which did not have to be disclosed until AFTER the election were "falsified" to impact the outcome of that election.
The Laughing Hyena's honeymoon is more like a one night stand. America is rejecting her Marxist agenda.
30 pages of these leftist idiots declaring the election over and the cow's honeymoon bump in the polls is already over BEFORE the convention is finished.
Now, Harris is +0.7 in NC, +0.8 in AZ, +0.9 in GA, +2.0 in NV, +2.2 in PA, -2.9 in FL, +3.1 in MI, and +3.3 in WI.
In polymarket she’s ahead 52-48 in PA, ahead 51-49 in NV, ahead 64-36 in MI, and ahead 60-40 in WI. She’s down 43-57 in NC, 42-58 in GA, and 39-61 in AZ.

You are too stupid for words.
Is it? Or is it taking action under false pretenses?
If I walk into a bank and falsely claim to be Rita Miller with a fake ID and close out Rita Miller’s bank account and then immediately donate that $4 million to a charity with which I have no affiliation or connection, are you saying that I didn’t defraud anyone because I didn’t benefit from it?

Now look at the 2016 and 2020 polls and see if you can figure out what a .9% lead in Georgia means. Or a +3.3 in Wisconsin.
Hint: Biden was up 8.4 points in Wisconsin in 2020 and he won by 20,000 votes which was less than 1%.

That's an absurd scenario.
No reasonable person would do that unless their aim was to screw over Rita Miller and the benefit they received was the satisfaction of screwing over Rita Miller.
We continue to get glimpses of the awfulness of a Trump 2nd term. We forget how awful it was in the first term. Remember how despicable it was that Trump was refusing to provide PPE to blue states if they wouldn’t praise him?
Trump doesn’t change. It will be way worse.
TUESDAY: The mayor of Springfield asks Trump not to come, saying a visit would tax city resources.
WEDNESDAY: Trump says he's going to Springfield.
I remember the Biden admin,
Lockdowns that destroyed thousands of small and midsized businesses.
Closed beaches, parks, churches, schools while Walmart and liquor stores were kept open, greatly harming our kids
Censorship as the Biden admin pressure all media to get rid of comments the Biden admin did not like.
Proxy war with Russia killing hundreds of thousands of Slavs
Raging inflation.
Genocide in Palestine.
Mandated an untested gene therapy to Americans.
Naming conservatives, catholics, parents, Trump voters terrorists and called them the biggest threat to America.
Lawfare used against its political opponent.
2 assasination attempts by guys with ties to the Deep state.
We may not survive 4 more years of Obama/Clinton/Biden/Kamala admin (all the same people)

Important to remember that A-Dolts defenses of Trump are political defenses that he got from the internet. They are not legal defenses which are needed in a court of law. Trumps legal defenses were obliterated repeatedly in court. He was humiliated. So his lawyers like Hobba rushed to the lobby of the courthouse to try their case with dummies like Adolt.

His lawyers said:
this was for actual legal services, but also he was trying to avoid embarrassment. There’s your benefit. They even said this is for his personal benefit, not political.
The $130,000 payment came from Trump’s former lawyer and personal fixer Michael Cohen to buy Daniels’ silence during the final weeks of the 2016 race in what prosecutors allege was an effort to interfere in the election. When Cohen was reimbursed, the payments were recorded as legal expenses, which prosecutors said was an unlawful attempt to mask the true purpose of the transaction.
Trump’s lawyers contend they were legitimate payments for legal services. He denied the sexual encounter, and his lawyers argued at trial that his celebrity status made him an extortion target. Defense lawyers also said hush money deals to bury negative stories about Trump were motivated by personal considerations such as the impact on his family, not political ones. They also sought to undermine the credibility of Cohen, the star prosecution witness who pleaded guilty in 2018 to federal charges related to the payments, by suggesting he was driven by personal animus toward Trump and fame and money.
The trial featured weeks of occasionally riveting testimony that revisited an already well-documented chapter from Trump’s past. His 2016 campaign, threatened by the disclosure of an “Access Hollywood” recording that captured him talking about grabbing women sexually without their permission, also faced the prospect of other stories about Trump and sex surfacing that could have harmed his candidacy. Trump did not testify, but jurors heard his voice through a secret recording of a conversationwith Cohen in which he and the lawyer discussed a $150,000 hush money deal involving a Playboy model, Karen McDougal, who has said she had an affair with Trump. Trump denies that affair.
Daniels herself testified, offering a vivid recounting of the sexual encounter she says they had in a Lake Tahoe hotel suite. The former publisher of the National Enquirer, David Pecker, testified about how he worked to keep stories harmful to the Trump campaign from becoming public at all, including by having his company buy McDougal’s story. Jurors also heard from Keith Davidson, the lawyer who negotiated the hush money payments on behalf of Daniels and McDougal. He detailed the tense negotiations to get both women compensated for their silence but also faced aggressive questioning from a Trump attorney who noted Davidson had helped broker similar hush money deals in cases involving other prominent figures.
The most pivotal witness, by far, was Cohen, who during days of testimony gave an insider’s view of the hush money scheme and what he said was Trump’s detailed knowledge of it.
“Just take care of it,” he quoted Trump as saying.
Trump should have hired the Law Firm of WinstonSmith and Newname to represent him in Stormygate. They have all these great legal theories that definitely would have won the day. I wonder why Todd Blanche didn't think of them?

New York State penal code does not actually define “intent to defraud” but several rulings in NYS have defined it as:
”for the purpose of leading another into error or to disadvantage”
”an intention to deceive another person, and to induce such other person, in reliance upon such deception, to assume, create, transfer, alter or terminate a right, obligation or power”
”wronging one in his property rights by dishonest methods or schemes, and usually signifying the deprivation of something of value by trick, deceit, chicane or overreacting”
Notably, an intent to defraud does NOT require “an intent to deprive another person of money, property rights or a pecuniary interest” and does not require any “financial harm”.
In fact, simply impeding the goverment’s ability to perform its official duties is sufficient.
Nowhere in the definition of “intent to defraud” is a requirement that it’s beneficial to the one doing the defrauding.
The greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing half of America that Republicans are better on the economy.
