No, it wasn’t about connecting an NDA to the campaign.
The predicate crime was Cohen’s in-kind contribution to the campaign of $130,000 when the individual limit at the time was $2,700.
It wasn’t the NDA that was illegal in Cohen’s case, it was the illegal method used to support the campaign. If Trump had straight up paid for boinking the porn start instead of running it through his fixer and his business, he wouldn’t have been in legal jeopardy.

Trump released Daniels from the NDA voluntarily in September 2018.

I’m sorry.
It does take more than a paragraph to define the crime.
It also takes 50 million bucks to brainwash the rubes that Trump really did do a felony.

Signing a check isn’t a crime.
Committing fraud is.
There hasn’t been a single argument that Trump did not actually commit the fraud… because we all know he committed the fraud.

You certainly have convinced yourself of it.
Don’t include others in your collective conformity.
Trump was only prosecuted because he was leading the polls and the so called fraud is a criminal manipulation of the legal process that Merchan used to cash in on with his kid.
Then there are the GAG orders…always have to censor Trump.

This entire lawfare news cycle has the same stench on it that the Coronavirus had.

Tell me how Trump is actually innocent of the crime he was charged with.
Not with buzzwords or hopes… but with actual evidence.
The Prosecution delivered witnesses that he colluded with, provided the records, provided the paper trail.
Trump’s defense was that he didn’t have sex with Stormy Daniels.
Which one is a more believable tale?

It was never proven with evidence that he did anything illegal.
Cohen and Stephanie told some elaborate he said/she said tales of woe and misery and the judge cashed in using his kiddo as the cash register.

Biden is spending 50 million to make sure the rubes ignore the law and their rights.

But it was. The evidence was presented to the jury, and the jury found him guilty. Testimony is evidence.
That’s how this all works.

Psst…We don’t prove innocence in this system of justice.

Not to mention the statute of limitations had expired on prosecution.

Hearsay nonsense and malleable jurors with two lawyers aboard making sure they fell in line.
It was all garbage.
Absolute ■■■■■■■ garbage.
All of it.

It actually was. That is why he was convicted by a jury of his peers.
I know that you aren’t gullible enough to really believe that Trump didn’t have an affair with Stormy Daniels.

Broken record phase initiated.

Not proven and all garbage.

If Trump is as proven not guilty by the jury… of course the word “innocent” would be used and if I argued “well technically he is not guilty” you would rightfully think that the argument is idiotic.

C’mon… you can tell us.
You know that they had sex.
“Hearsay” is a legal term, with a well-defined meaning - not a general term for testimony you don’t like.
Disagreeing with a jury’s decision does not grant Missouri standing to challenge it.

Prosecution SOL in New York for base Class E felony is 5 years with an additional 5 years maximum tolling for periods where the indivdiual is outside the state.
Since the crimes were committed in 2017 that would take it to 2017, and just be fair let’s knock off a whole year for the few days Trump might have been in New York since he was living in DC and FL.
So the SOL wouldn’t have expired until 2026.
