WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump’s Democratic enemies celebrated his unprecedented criminal indictment Thursday, even though legal experts warn that the case appears to be weak.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg apparently secured the indictment under a novel legal theory alleging Trump, 76, falsified business records — in commission of a federal campaign finance violation — through the repayment of a $130,000 hush-money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election. ...

...“The question to ask yourself in a case like this [is], ‘Would a case like this be brought against anybody else, whether he or she be president, former president or a regular citizen?’ The answer is… no,” Wisenberg said. ...

...“This is preposterous.”

George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said in a Fox News interview shortly after the indictment Thursday that “[Bragg] is attempting to bootstrap [a] federal crime into a state case. And if that is the basis for the indictment, I think it’s rather outrageous.”

“I think it’s illegally pathetic,” Turley added. ...

“There’s a good reason why the Department of Justice did not prosecute this case: Because it’s been down this road before. It tried a case against former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards arguing that hush money paid to another woman, who bore a child out of that relationship, was in fact a campaign violation. That was a much stronger case, but they lost,” Turley said, referring to federal prosecutors not charging Trump following Cohen’s guilty plea.

“Even if you can bootstrap that dead misdemeanor to something alive, you’re essentially arguing a federal case that the Department of Justice declined. But it’s also a case that requires you to show, if that is the basis of this indictment, that Trump’s only, his sole motive for paying this money or having third-parties pay it was for the election,” he continued.”

Well, that’s the problem from Edwards.

There’s a host of reasons why a celebrity and a married individual would want to hush up an affairs, particularly with a porn star.”

Turley added: “Bragg’s clearly betting on a motivated judge and a motivated juror. You couldn’t pick a better jurisdiction…. [But] under Bragg’s theory, he can take any unproven federal crime and revive a long-dead misdemeanor and turn it into a felony. That’s going to really raise concerns for a number of judges. But once it gets to the appellate level, he’s going to have a particularly difficult time.”

Me too

Even if the Democrat vote count is higher than the number of registered voters.

The charges are not about the payments, but how they were classified and reported by the Trump organization. It is a misdemeanor in NY. If the misclassification was to cover up a crime, it is a Class E felony.

Don’t yet know what the indictment was for.

But

Would it or Would it not be funny to watch President Trump Win the 2024 Election while he was behind bars.

That would be the all time best win in a Presidency in the History of Elections.
