Super Quick, Light, Off-The-Cuff Breakdown Of "The Charges"
Early reaction. I'll do better later when I know more.
Let's crack this right open.
And as always, I am merely a screw merchant and C-list internet trigger provocateur, and I don't know shit, and you should never listen to me.
But this is what I think.
This is not 34 charges against Donald Trump.
This is one charge, possibly two, against Donald Trump, 34 times.
Allow me to explain, and partially blame Greta VanSusteren on Newsmax if I get it wrong. 😃
The charge is related to the payment to the hooker, and there may be another hooker involved but they didn't name her. But apparently the payment(s) didn't happen in one lump sum. They happened in a series of 34 movements of money between the parties amounting to the final sum over several months.
Sooo...
Charge #1 (not really) - The defendant moved $1.87 from here to there toward the payment to the hooker, which is in violation of campaign law somehow.
Charge #2 - The defendant mailed the hooker a $500 gift card from Prostitute Depot toward the payment to the hooker, which is in violation of campaign law somehow.
And so on, and so on, up to 34.
What it really is is one charge, on an installment plan, to give the blue New York jury at least a shot at making it not a total waste of time for them. It's Alvin throwing 34 overcooked, soggy, sauced up raviolis at the wall and betting against gravity.
Also, if I understood it correctly, which I'm questioning because none of this makes conventional sense, all of the 34 charges are state misdemeanors past their statute of limitation. That seems like an immediate dismissal to me, but I'm merely a screwslinger, not an honest Judge. 😏
Also, the ‘mystery’ federal felony that people (👋) were speculating Alvin would try to latch all the misdemeanors onto to create a whole new crime just for bad orange men, is not in the indictment. 🤔
There's LOADS to unpack here! 😁
And Trump's talking in like two hours and if I get going now I'll never get done before he starts, and I'm not posting anything while he's talking. We'll circle back. 😏
And if I got any of any of that up there wrong, somebody fix it in the comments. I'll own it.
Certainly more later.
To me, it sounds like Bragg "thinks" they should have been listed as campaign expenses (even though Trump probably would have paid them if even if he wasn't running). And it wasn't fair that Trump tried to hide the payments from the public. If we're going down that road, the lock up Biden for outright lying in a debate about Hunter and the laptop.
As for the mysterious felony charge that's not named, I think they're still trying to make one up
I'm listening to the fat muck-scraping dirtweasel re-hash his handiwork and enjoying his 15-minutes of fame. It's all I can do not to throw a hammer through my TV The Fox commentator said that Trump should be careful in his speech tonight not to antagonize the judge. Maybe he should climb up the judge's ass? Oh wait, Alvin's already in there, no room! Good grief!!!!!!
