At last, Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s office prosecutors have disclosed the fundamental offense they claim Donald Trump was committing when he purportedly fabricated financial documents.
According to Fox News, “This week, New York prosecutor Joshua Steinglass stated that the additional offense involved breaking a New York law known as ‘conspiracy to promote or obstruct election.'”
The text of New York Law 17-152 is as follows:
“Any two or more individuals who engage in a conspiracy to support or obstruct the election of any person to a public office by unlawful methods will be guilty of a misdemeanor.”
Regarding Michael Cohen, Donald Trump, and former National Enquirer owner David Pecker, co-counselor Michael Colangelo of Steinglass said that in 2015:
“Those three men got together and planned a plot to rig the election.”
Nevertheless, all of the purportedly fabricated business documents were claimed to have occurred in 2017, not in 2015. Trump claims the payments were for legal services rather than compensation for whatever money Cohen may have sent to Stormy Daniels, but the forged transfers are transactions in which Trump’s firm paid Cohen.
By the way, Daniels still owes Trump $300,000 plus interest for the pointless lawsuit she filed against him.
In Colangelo’s account, the “capture and kill” plot worked as follows: Cohen would alert Pecker to articles that Trump wished to remain undiscovered, and Pecker was privy would purchase the material and the story’s rights to ensure that it remained unpublished. Prosecutors assert that Trump, through his payments to Cohen, ultimately provided the funds for purchasing the article rights.
In addition to the alleged payment to Stormy Daniels, Colangelo claimed to have used the same strategy in two other cases:
“One was to stop a story about an alleged out-of-wedlock child that a former doorman at Trump Tower was attempting to sell. According to Colangelo, the sum was $30,000. It turned out that the doorman’s account was false. Karen McDougal, a former Playboy model, received the next payment. McDougal claimed to have had a romantic and sexual connection with Trump. According to Colangelo, Cohen requested that AMI purchase the article. According to Colangelo, AMI gave McDougal “unlimited life rights” to her tale in return for $150,000.
The prosecution’s hypothesis is flawed in a few legal areas. Firstly, as stated in the underlying Act, there must be a conspiracy “to promote or hinder the election…by criminal methods.” Non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) are not prohibited.
Second, the indictment makes no mention of any plot or conspiracy, as Andrew McCarthy noted.
In addition, all offenses in New York State have a two-year statute of limitations. I am not absolutely sure if the underlying offense for the accusation of falsifying business documents has to be inside the statute of limitations because I am not a lawyer and I do not play one on TV either.
Everyone involved in the “catch-and-kill” tactics related to the 2020 election, such as the 51 former intelligence officials who misrepresented the source of the Hunter Biden laptop story, those who orchestrated the censorship of the New York Post story, and those who coordinated the deplatforming of any critics of Joe Biden, had better be on the lookout if this absurd legal fairy tale somehow leads to a conviction.

The absolute corruption of Biden and his administration i finally being exposed. We will not hear it through the MSM.
Unfortunately, that is absolutely true. They’re all Democrats!
It is time that Joe Biden step up and put an end to this witch hunt.
Proceed with the election and let the people decide..the people who should be in trial are those elected officials who attend protests where DEATH TO AMERICA is changed and they fail to speak out against this. They should be immediately removed from office.
Those that participated in the Jan 6th witch hunt against Trump and his and destroyed records should be on trial..Cheney..Pelosi..and others.
All I ask for either candidate is a
fair playing field.
Time for America to Wake Up! America is almost done
So sick of Joe Biden walking free while Trump is being dragged into court because the Democrat party fears Trump and they know Joe Biden will lose the 2024 election
If the Democrat voters don’t wake up to Obama/Biden’s crimes against the country and it’s citizens,then they deserve the hell that will follow.
YOU ARE 100% RIGHT. OBAMA DESTROYED OUR COUNTRY AND SHOULD BE IN JAIL. AMERICANS ARE STILL SLEEPING, ALL WILL HAVE A VERY RUDE AWAKENING.
The problem with the legal non-disclosure agreement, was it didn’t happen till 2017, AFTER the election. The DOJ, Federal elections, and US attorney, and Alvin Bragg refused to bring any charges. Until President Trump decided to run, again, then Bragg and the WH had to be creative.
No Case there. 🙂
America knows something is fishy because of the stink. It would do everyone some good if Alvin Bragg gave up prosecution of nonsense. A conviction will result in an even great smell which will be bad for Democrats and will result in a criminal record for Trump, but will gain him support. America as a whole will lose because the judicial system has been used politically and recognition will dawn that anyone can be a victim.
It’s called ac2 tier justice system. Onecfor democrats and one for everyone else.
The Biden and O’bama crime family takes pride in destroying America. Sanctuary cities defy federal law, open borders, reduced spending for the American military,
Billions of $ for Ukraine, Israel and Tiwan (will we run with our tail between our legs like we did in Afganistan?) Legalization of drugs, abortion on demand, homosexual marriage. Wake up America! All countries reach a peak then decline and fall. We are in serious decline. Don’t say God bless America when we have kicked him out of public places. Get ready for some very very dangerous times just ahead.
Bragg needs placed where he belongs as part of the New York judicial organized crime organization to which he belongs and THAT in in the cell he’s trying to put Trump in.
