That's a valid criticism and the reason why this is generally considered the weakest case against Trump.
The nuance here is that Trump is being charged for misappropriating company funds, which is a misdemeanor, but the DA is arguing that he did so in an effort to violate campaign finance law, which escalates the original charge to a felony. It is my understanding that he is not being charged for the campaign violation itself (I don't believe Bragg could even bring that charge if he wanted to).
As I mentioned before, people who are more used to federal criminal practice are generally quite skeptical of this case. Which is why I thought the explainer from Just Security was helpful because it illustrated that this has actually been successfully prosecuted against politicians in Manhattan before.
Had Trump paid the money out of the campaign funds and mislabeled it to hide the origin, he'd probably face the same slap on the wrist that Clinton did. By intermingling with the Trump Org's funds, he exposed himself to liability under NYS law.
These people (DAs, Judges) in GA and NY should be disbarred, and frankly probably arrested.
But we're not a serious nation and so that won't happen.

Aha! Busted. You've been reading all my post on the down low.
Now you can stop the silliness about "ignoring" people.
And yeah, he caught you hook, line, and sinker on that Q Analysis ...
are there some"pedo rings?" I'm sure there are.
Is there a cabal that includes all the rich and powerful who engage in these things AND then use the blood of their victims to gain additional power? Umm, no.
Dumb person alert. I feel bad being direct but am of the opinion that pointing out that someone is way is helpful now, that our society is on the precipice of self-destruction...

Trump firing up the terrorists, again. He's already killed police officers with his crazy, violent talk, now he wants the whole country to burn if he doesn't get his way.
The MAGA clowns want this petulant idiot to be our commander and chief?
My ignore list grows!
I think I'll start feeling a little better about the human race soon....just a little but still

Would it make a difference to you if he was convicted?
and what do you mean by convicted? He is in fact liable for sexual assault forget the money that she received on the defamation for one second there was a legal action before that. Which he didn’t even bother to show up for.
LOL
Some people have no comprehension for American Justice and what it's become (in certain jurisdictions).
I could be sued for Sexual Assault right now because I lived in Manhattan from 1999-2005, the person (woman) wouldn't have to remember any details, just say I did it. That's exactly what's happened here in the Trump "Sexual Assault" case.
The Leftist morons on here will say "it'll only happen to Donald Trump" because they have zero critical thinking skills, but once lines are broken they are rarely reined in.
The American Civilization, driven by private property protection, equality under the law, due process, etc, is effectively over. We'll see what the Leftist Overlords cook up for us.

Yes Biden caused the inflation the entire world is dealing with? Very astute observation. Social programs poised to destroy our civilization? Impressive statement if your intent was to come off as ludicrous. You fools have literally nothing other than lame right wing talking points lacking in fact.
The idiot Leftists in the world who shut down the Economy caused Supply Side inflation for a bit. The stupid Leftist President the idiot Leftist "voters" installed, all 81m of them (16m more than St. OBAMA got) created society-level inflation by printing money and handing it out because he's (at-best) a feel-good simpleton who understood very little back then and obviously nothing now

We're on the brink of war? Stop main-lining newsmax. Russia is reeling and zero Americans will lose their lives. You see nothing because people your age have no clue how to consume news. Biden passed an infrastructure bill , the chips act, the inflation reduction act, and more.
I dont think Joe has done great though. I just know the alternative is an unmitigated disaster and clown show. Lead by the most corrupt politician elected in our country. One who is manipulated by simple compliments. Just as senile as Joe and half as intelligent. And Joe was never Einstein.
This is the classically moronic Liberal Leftist goofball stupid party line...
"He spent Trillions of our money, he's so great! He got a Bill passed to spend Trillions of dollars, he's awesome!"
We are in upside-down world...these morons don't realize that the real reason our cities/airports/infrastructure are embarrassing and ready to collapse is because they crowded out such infrastructure spending on Social Programs that are poised to destroy our civilization...but illiterate, dumb, Leftist Feel-Good Americans finally stupidly handed a Leftist President a Leftist Senate and a Leftist House, and they passed huge spending programs! Yeah!
(never mind the catastrophic inflation - them prices aren't going back down - and crowding out of private investment and drawdown of our National Defense capabilities - those ammo stockpiles likely won't be ready when WE need them...but all good, SPENDING BILLS!)

That literally makes no sense which is not a surprise coming from you
When Donald Trump was in office, he quoted numbers like this that were in his favor. Every time he opened his ***** mouth.
Now that Biden is quoting superior numbers you can’t bring yourself around to believe it
Bottom line Trump was hoping for a failure, and it hasn’t been
Nah, you're just dumb
If you blow up the Federal Balance Sheet, putting us all at risk, by printing $12T+ dollars and shooting them into the Economy...your numbers better not be crummy.
But, and he reason Biden is so unpopular....absolute prices up 28% everywhere make nothing affordable.
I don't expect the Leftists on here to understand even basic Economics so why bother?

There might be individual refs/players who might throw a game. As many has pointed out, that probably has happened though I think it is much rarer than many implied.
However, to believe that there is the NFL office decides winners beforehand is frankly ridiculous. It makes zero sense for the owners to accept it -- unless you think only Goodell and a small cabal of owners are in on it.
Ask yourself these questions. Why would David Tepper throw a drink on a fan if everything is fixed? Why would he fire his coach and GM so he has to pay multiple coaches/GM if everything is pre-ordained. Why was Pegula paying three coaches at once? Why is Haslam guaranteeing Watson $230M if it doesn't matter.
Everybody knows Jerry Jones is one of the most powerful owners in the NFL and the Cowboys are one of the most popular teams. Why don't the Cowboys do better in the playoffs? When do they tell new owners or potential owners that the games are fixed? Why don't any of these owners sue when they find out? Why do the NYC/Chi teams stink so much? Why are many of the top teams in the league from tiny markets like KC, Buffalo, Cincinnati, and Baltimore.
It makes zero sense for these multi-billionaires to accept the level of ridicule they get from their fans when their teams stink (see Johnson, Woody). If I was Tepper and found out I run a scorched earth policy and sue the NFL (and any owners in the know) for every penny they have.
This is not as far-fetched as you would make it out to be. It could be very simply about Franchise-values...simply put, if you bought something for $300m in 2000, and they came to you and noted that it will be worth $2-$3 BILLION in several years if you play along, I suspect owners will go along with it...
It could have been communicated very innocently. "hey, owners, we know there is no more money, really, in in-stadium Revenue or value. The tickets and seats aren't getting more expensive and the stadiums can't get bigger. Instead, we are signing this MEGA contract with these Cable/Television networks (back then) that have gobs of money because idiot Americans just pay for cable bundles, but that's our ticket. The ONLY thing they ask for is that we have appropriate, exciting matchups on TV at the right time. This may mean we'll have to endeavor to ensure the "right" teams are on at the "right times" and the right teams are good, most of the time. We'll give you a bone every so often, but by and large your job will be keep the masses appeased and collect huge dividends and see your franchise values erupt well above the debt used to purchase the Team"
Whether implicit or explicit the League could then orchestrate through various mechanisms outcomes they desired.
Just spit-ballin' here

I don't even know what this means. People here seemed all hot and bothered about the general notion that governments restrict freedoms in service of the common good. I pointed out that that's what having a government is all about. It's the opposite of anarchy. You want to make it a crime for drag shows to allow teenagers to attend, even if it's with their parents express permission.
In other words, you want to restrict the liberty of people to do what they damn well please in service of your idea of the common good.
Sometimes, you don't need to get dragged into the details.
The American Left is a destructionary device. It's as simple as that. Not build, destroy.
You don't understand that becuase you subscribe to this or that little pedantic issue that fills your mind/day, and aren't able to conjure a realistic picture, but that's what's happening and what's further planned.
Stop worrying about the little stuff. There should be LESS government, in most all instances

Didn't Biden go over to Ireland a little while back and fell asleep there too? Biden botches another promoting this bull####. Has blood on his hands all over the planet due to his incompetence. What a mess.
It's not "Biden"
He's merely a symptom.
Unfortunately, as predicted by historians (because it happens throughout history), civilizations eventually become soft, forget what "got them there", then succumb to a Leftist slide into self-destruction (that is categorized miscorrectly as being conquered but that's not right).
Biden is a symptom. The American and Global Left are the problem. Unequivocally.

Why do you say that? Just a "it will never happen here" outlook most people who lean your direction seem to hold. Military recruitment has been in the gutter so if multi front war we are involved in hits us directly...i just said 2 bases were hit with drones. If iran goes full force. If russia sees our weakness in a middle east campaign and strikes us or a country in nato alliance.
Your hundred wont mean diddly.
Just keep that energy if a letter asks one of yours.
I hope not. but every single day it gets more likely.

Shipping vulnerable people across the country as part of a game to score political points is bad.
That shouldn’t be a controversial opinion.
So dumb.
Yeah, they should ALL just sit in the same neighborhoods in our Southern border states forever...
The Federal Gov't, which theoretically manages the border, has no responsibility for managing the outcomes of their failures, I guess.

“Al-Shifa Hospital, a sanctuary amidst the rubble in Gaza City, is now wrestling with a looming crisis — power cuts that could cut short numerous lives.”
My son spent three weeks in a NICU. I cannot imagine being a parent of one of these kids right now.Leftists just simply don't understand the world, it's sad.
It's a brutal place, cordoned off by men/women with principles and courage. Leftists have none of this, and they have no clue how to handle these events.

The WSJ broke the buck here with the proper/obvious explanation...the recent "immigrants" are keeping the US Job Machine alive...
Everyday Americans must work 2-3 jobs to pay all these inflated prices, but it's "Immigration" that is firing up the Jobs reports.
