Here is a link to the indictment itself:  https://fm.cnbc.com/applications/cnbc.com/resources/editorialfiles/2023/04/04/Donald-J-Trump-Indictment.pdf

Time for a bill of particulars, at the least.  The indictment fails to indicate the facts that support the conclusion that there was intent to defraud which included the intent to commit another crime, or to conceal the commission thereof.

I'm still not sure what fraud was supposed to have been intended, assuming arguendo that Trump caused company records to reflect the payment to the hooker as something other than a payment for services of a personal nature.

If it was on the records of a corporation, the standard treatment is to treat the payment as a constructive dividend distribution to the shareholder for whose benefit the payment was made, and assess income tax on the amount.

The alleged "intent to defraud" seems really shaky to me, especially since he personally was not charged with tax fraud.

Newmax reports that 34 counts are basically repetitive like 34 different checks for the same business infraction.

Contrast that vs. an occupant in the WH who likely sold influence to the Chicoms for $millions, and maybe with national security implications.

So bizarre.

Alvin Bragg has shut down the entire city, called up 38,000 NYPD police officers, closed down the FDR Drive and is spending an estimated $200 million of city funds, all for a $130,000 NDA. I never thought I would see this level of corruption in the United States.

I think lawyers like to keep these things as open as possible because it allows them to add stuff later at a whim (or as discovery runs across things). Must admit as first glance reading, it is boring as heck and repetitive.

All 34 charges in the Trump indictment are "falsifying business records to conceal another crime." 

"To conceal another crime" is how Alvin Bragg was able to elevate it to a felony. 

But nowhere in the indictment does it say what that second crime was.

BREAKING: NBC News claimed that one of the 34 felony charges for Trump was "conspiracy," which was heavily boosted by liberal accounts.

A conspiracy charge does not appear anywhere in the indictment.

The indictment is basically based on so-called charge-stacking, where the prosecutor takes each and every little misstep and turns it into a separate charge.

I think lawyers like to keep these things as open as possible because it allows them to add stuff later at a whim (or as discovery runs across things). Must admit as first glance reading, it is boring as heck and repetitive.

An indictment is supposed to apprise the defendant in sufficient detail that the defendant can prepare his/her defense.  Frequently, however, the indictment is deficient in that respect, and the defendant can therefore demand a bill of particulars, which requires the prosecutor to provide the defendant with a statement that sets out the factual items that pertain to the offense charged, including the substance of the defendant's conduct that is encompassed by the charge.  NY Crim. Proc. Law § 200.95

CNN’s Miller: We ‘Whipped Ourselves up’ for a ‘Seven-Year-Old Case’ Against Trump ‘Nobody Wanted to Go Forward with’

Ian Hanchett 4 Apr 2023

While speaking on CNN on Tuesday, CNN Chief Law Enforcement and Intelligence Analyst John Miller stated that “we’ve kind of whipped ourselves up over the last week” over the indictment against former President Donald Trump and believed that “must be more than what we know” but the indictment is “just the same stuff we already knew” about a seven-year-old case that “nobody” in the prosecutor’s office wanted to move forward with.

Miller stated, “It’s an interesting shift today, because — and maybe it’s all our own fault — we’ve kind of whipped ourselves up over the last week about, if they’re bringing this case, it must be more than what we know is inside. And we looked inside today and [said], oh, it’s just the same stuff we already knew. So, what changed? It’s a seven-year-old case. In the D.A.’s office, they called this the zombie case, because every time they put it away, it came back to life, nobody wanted to go forward with it.”

He continued, “They had a larger, more complicated case involving hundreds of millions of dollars in overvaluing property in order to secure lines of credit and undervaluing property when it was time to pay taxes, and not just a little, but to the power of five. And it was a large, complex fraud based on the exact same charges, falsification of business records, but it was easier to articulate, the victims are the public, the taxpayers, the banks, the fraud. And he chose not to go forward with it. And yet, chose [to go forward] with this. So, it’s an odd turn.”

1. Having read the list of charges, there's a big problem: no actual crime has actually been charged.  That's right.

If a crime is committed when the defendant acts to conceal another crime, the question is what is the underlying crime that has been committed?

2. There is literally no underlying crime even referenced.  Furthermore, President Trump has not been charged or convicted of any underlying crime. There is not crime.  In fact, this is entirely unconstitutional.

3. And that's why Bragg has thrown so much against the wall -- to make it look like something it is not.

A well drawn indictment should allege the facts necessary to support the offenses charged; but failure to do so is not fatal in NY.  The defendant can request a bill of particulars, which must contain the necessary factual allegations.

Trump Campaign Fundraises with Fake Arrest Mugshot

Former President Donald Trump’s campaign is using a fake mugshot to fundraise after Trump’s arrest in New York on Tuesday.



Jordan Dixon-Hamilton 4 Apr 2023

Former President Donald Trump’s campaign is using a fake mugshot to fundraise after Trump’s arrest in New York on Tuesday.

Trump was arrested after a New York grand jury voted to indict him last week. Trump voluntarily surrendered himself, flying from Florida to New York to be booked by New York law enforcement before his first court appearance on Tuesday.

Trump was arrested around 1:35 p.m. and appeared before the judge at 2:45 p.m., where he pleaded not guilty to all 34 counts of falsifying business records.

Unlike typical booking procedures, New York law enforcement did not take Trump’s mugshot. However, the lack of a mugshot did not stop the Trump campaign from creating a fake mugshot to raise funds.

Trump is selling an “Official Trump Mugshot White Cotton T-Shirt” on his website for $36. The fake mugshot is seen at the center of the t-shirt with the words “NOT GUILTY” printed right underneath the photo.

I don't have much faith in the trial judge .  .  .

Just because the judge has a kid who worked for the VP candidate on the opposing Presidential ticket doesn't mean there are any conflicts here.

How so Mr. McCarthy?  What is Congress doing or going to do??

@libertybele

You mean other that pose as being concerned about a travesty of justice while hoping the left nails Trump because  there is NOTHING in this world professional  pols hate more than a outsider who is an amateur politician come in and show they up for who and  what they are?

"Don't rock  the boat" are words professional pols take to heart.

I started watching Trump's speech tonight.....UGHHHH.  I just couldn't take it.  He was wronged for sure, but he needs to retire.

From the indictment:

Quote
THE GRAND JURY OF THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, by this indictment, accuses
the defendant of the crime of FALSIFYING BUSINESS RECORDS IN THE FIRST
DEGREE, in violation of Penal Law §175.10, committed as follows:
The defendant, in the County of New York and elsewhere, on or about February 14, 2017,
with intent to defraud and intent to commit another crime and aid and conceal the commission
thereof, made and caused a false entry in the business records of an enterprise, to wit, an invoice
from Michael Cohen dated February 14, 2017, marked as a record of the Donald J. Trump
Revocable Trust, and kept and maintained by the Trump Organization.

Penal Law §175.10 has a statute of limitation of five years.  Under NY Law, Trump cannot be prosecuted for this.  Yet it is the main charge levied by a corrupt prosecutor.
