The Trump Card...
- Thread starter muttly
- Start date
What’s he being charged with then? Paying off an extortionist? Oh, ok.Nobody said he was...
That's the big question: what's the crime, keeping in mind the fact that paying "hush money" isn't illegal. The following article gets into the weeds a but, this quote pretty well sums it up:
"What about the “object crime”—that is, the crime that Trump allegedly intended to commit or conceal in such a way as to transform the underlying misdemeanor offense into a felony?
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."
So here we have a NY trial against Trump with no crime to go along with the other NY trial with no fraud and no victim. Political persecution at it's finest.

Any conviction from either of the NY cases will be reversed on appeal, but that will come after November. The Democrats don't care - it's all about election interference between now and then.

The Trump trials are disintegrating as more Democrat corruption is exposed. The Atlanta fiasco is dead in the water, the Mar-a-Lago documents trial has been placed in limbo and the Alvin Bragg trial in NY is like watching a train wreck in slow motion.
