This just gets more and more bizarre.
Rumble? Yeah…
Doesn't matter a bit. Two questions to ask yourself:
- Can it be done?
Rumble? Apparently not well…
YES
- Will this judge do it to obtain a conviction?
That's an interesting question.
Not really, it’s conjecture built on conjecture. Dersh is upfront about that. I think what he saw the day the Judge cleared the court has him very flabbergasted.
Now Dersh, he’s the interesting story in this to my mind. The guy still has liberal leanings and tendencies to my mind. He is upfront that he voted for Biden. He is not a conservative or even a moderate by any stretch of the imagination, but he is a Legal Boomer yelling “Get Off My Lawn!” when it comes to a lot of stuff that has been happening in the courts recently, and has become a Conservative favorite despite not being a Conservative and advocating against Conservative principles. At the same time, he has been ostracized by his friends, colleagues, and is basically a man on an island. It’s fascinating to watch.

I don't think Dersh has changed that much. He's still basically a defense attorney desperately hoping for a fair and unbiased trial and noticeably upset when it becomes evident that someone has their fingers on the scales of Justice.

I still do not see how this can be deemed in furtherance of a crime if that crime has not been established, prosecuted or even agreed upon.

I think @jon-nyc just pointed it out. The crime covered doesn’t need to be Trump’s. Cohen has plead guilty and been convicted. They could use the argument that Trump was trying to hide Cohen’s crime…

Yeah. That’s what I’ve been missing in all this, myself. That’s really something, innit?

It seems really straightforward. If you falsify a business record that’s a misdemeanor. Of you do it with intent to cover up a crime it’s a felony.
It makes sense that the record falsifying person doesn’t have to have been the one that committed the crime, as long as he’s intentionally helping to cover it up.
Take it out of a political context. A CFO falsifies records to cover up the fact that his company bribed a local official. He knew about it and is covering it up even though it was the head of sales who paid the actual bribe.
This is the same concept as ‘aiding and abetting ‘ or ‘accesory after the fact’.

And when this conviction gets overturned, I guess it will still be a good law?
Look...If I was somebody running a major corporation, do you think it wise to headquarter in New York?

Let’s address the “overturning” of the conviction. Let me introduce you to the appellate court that will be the next stop for Justice Impacted President Trump -

Not if I were going to falsify business records.
If I walked into the firm where you were previously employed, with 30 auditors, unlimited time and unlimited budget, do you think I could find something Twinkie Bragg could prosecute?

I saw that pic that got deleted.
It's a publicity shot of the 6 Black women who are part of the 25 member appellate court.
Now, remember 1.5% of the lawyers in the country are black women.
What are the odds they comprise 25% of the appellate court.

Better odds than the fact that only 0% of all the US Presidents have been women, and 2% black?
