Next week Trump goes on trial for felony fraud in NYC. In case you haven't been following, Trump is charged with defrauding voters because he tried to cover up an affair with Stormy Daniels before the election by paying her $130,000 to sign an NDA. According to Alvin Bragg, Trump committed felony fraud when he classified payments to Michael Cohen as "Legal Fees" when they were actually reimbursements for the $130,000 Cohen paid to Stormy Daniels. Trump actually paid Cohen more than $400,000 in over 30 installments.
The theory is that Trump tried to cover up the alleged affair, thereby defrauding voters. This is not a joke folks. This is Bragg's case against Trump. And, the fix is in. How do we know? We know because no serious judge would allow this trash case in his court room. The feds investigated this case and chose not to bring charges - because there is no crime. Candidates always try to hide their dirty laundry from voters. In this case, all we have is allegations of an affair. But Stormy and her lawyer both signed affidavits that there was no affair.
Just how stupid is this case? Let's start with the fact that congress had a slush fund, paid for by the taxpayers, for the very purpose of paying off victims of sexual harassment or assault to remain silent. We have no idea who used this fund because congress has kept it hidden from the public. Everyone who participated in the use of this fund did exactly what Trump is accused of doing, with the blessings of congress!
What else? Well how about 51 ex-intelligence officials who wrote a letter published in the major newspapers claiming the Hunter laptop was Russian disinformation to cover up potential corruption in the Biden family, including candidate Joe? How about the media that refused to report the story for the same reason? All fraud, according to Alvin Brag. In fact, those acts were more fraudulent than what Trump did because they all outright lied.
I suspect Bragg and the judge know Trump cannot get a fair trial in NYC. There is no chance they can find jurors who will act in good faith. This case will fall apart on appeal, but before that happens, Trump will be a convicted felon. Republicans better learn quickly that Democrats are fighting a war. It is not longer a political game.
