Still waiting to find out what the underlying crime was that the indictment repeatedly refers to. Anyone know? Surely you detractors would already know the answer to this as it's all been so obvious to you all so chime in any time.
shareThat's easy. Getting in the way of the Washington Uniparty/Deep State and messing up their plans to sell America down the river. They're now following the rule of one of Stalin's minions that goes "Give me the man, I'll make up the crime," or something like that.
shareAt some point I wonder if I'm going to care that Trump banged a porn star and paid her some money not to be public about it. So far, I just don't care.
shareI mean Bill Clinton paid Paula Jones $850,000 over a sexual harassment allegation and no one batted an eye, no indictments nada. In comparison some consensual hanky panky seems incredibly tame in my eyes.

Supposedly it's not the money, it's where the money came from. That's how I understand it anyway.
All Trump had to do was have one of his minions hand Daniels a bag of cash. But instead Trump decided to something else.

Government watchdogs argued the payments to Daniels were meant to influence the 2016 presidential election and, therefore, should have been publicly disclosed.share
I wish they were more transparent with everything that's happening, all it does is foster mistrust.

My understanding is that it wasn't the hush money paid to the skank specifically, they're going on where the money came from. What I read is that some or perhaps all of the money came from campaign funds. Illegal but still picayune at best, particularly when it comes to charging a political opposition leader. Smacks of Third World vendettas.
While taxpayers are responsible for what their accountants or other minions do, I seriously doubt Trump himself went to the bank that held said campaign funds and withdrew the money. I'm not sure he even wipes his own ass.
This is a bullshit partisan political witch hunt that is moving the U.S. ever closer to being a Banana Republic.
They are not alleging that the payoff was done with campaign funds, but that one of his attorneys (Michael Cohen) did the payoff personally and was later reimbursed through monthly invoices for legal fees that were paid by the Trump Org. The related business records are the basis for the charges.
The indictment will be followed up with another document called a Bill of Particulars, which will provide more detail. But for right now, the case seems exceptionally weak.
Wait no more. Here it is. What do you think?

34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree in violation of Penal Law 175.10. 34 different falsified records. It's a very boring read.
He was set up. He's innocent.
shareSo you have inside information on who set him up? You should let Trump know so he can call you as a witness in court and ensure justice prevails with his acquittal.
You really think Trump had no idea what was going on in his businesses?

Banging that porn star, cuming in her mouth just make Trump even more cool!
shareSo does anyone know what the crime is yet? I'm looking for specifics here not someone's best guess.
shareYep. 32 indictments for the same so-called “crime”.
It’s like doing 75 in a 65 and getting tickets for doing 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75.
The fact they crafted the “indictment” this way tells you everything you need to know about it being the 47th failed which hunt since 2015.
Actually it is like getting pulled over for speeding on 34 separate occasions. Did you really think that if you get a single speeding ticket, you're immune from being ticketed again for as long as you live?
Try reading the indictment again, or for a first time. Then you will see that on 34 separate occasions spanning 18 different dates, Trump allegedly falsified a business record.
Is it wrong for a state to prohibit falsifying a business record?
