Same for Hunter Biden?

Nope. It's business fraud.

I don't think there will be a problem proving the facts of the case - the problem will be proving the elements of the felony charge, I've that the fraudulent business records were intended to cover up a crime. Tying Trump to the underlying crime is the task of the Prosecution and it won't be easy.

Does this mean you will stand by other Van Jones comments about Trump? Seriously, the Russia *was* a nothingburger if the goal was to indict Trump (DOJ policy precluded charges against Trump), but was serious in terms of laying out Russia interference in the 2016 campaign. And indicting some Trump minions.

The Steele dossier was old news by the 2020 election. The real question is why it wasn't used in the 2016 election.

Trump could argue that Michael Cohen paid off the ladies without Trump's knowledge, to help win the 2016 election.

Invoking misdemeanor charges would result in a sure conviction - unless Trump's attorneys are going to argue the facts of the case, in which case, if successful, they could beat misdemeanor or felony charges.

That approach would lead to a sure conviction. Trump has a good chance of winning against felony charges, or if he loses, appealing until he is dead. The felony charges are shaky.

The people who think the 2020 election was stolen are clueless deadenders who are wrong all the time. They and their antecedents are the people who supported the 2003 invasion of Iraq - until they didn't. They loved Dick Cheney - until they didn't. They think that tax cuts for billionaires will make them rich.

*If* Trump had a functional brain, which apparently he doesn't, this is what he would do: Call for Iran to cease attacking Israel. If they stopped, he could claim credit for years. If they didn't, he could blame Biden. But Trump has nothing to say that is intelligible, because he is clueless about this conflict. And he is paralyzed by fear over his trial.

They insisted.

Really bad for the bars. I personally flee the country for Songkran and am in Macau for the duration. With 2 Thai ladies.

I have stated my opinion on this many times - Gaza and Palestine are 2 different cultures, and will never successfully operate under a single government.

Your second statement contradicts your first.

Three states.

She didn't live in a $20 million mansion. She was not his woman, she filed for divorce 2 years before he murdered her.

Your link goes to a paywall. I have yet to see any public mention of the Steele dossier content during the 2016 election. Of course, there was no mention of Stormy Daniels during the 2016 campaign, for different reasons.

The Steele dossier payments were legitimate campaign expenses. The Stormy Daniels payments were neither legitimate campaign expenses nor legitimate business expenses. I can see how this is confusing for you.

I am not aware of the content of the dossier being publicly released prior to 2017.

You say that the illegal stuff with Stormy Daniels was a "small part" because you think that somehow clears Trump. The max charge for the Stormy Daniels scheme was 5 years. That's probably the hook that DA Bragg is going to exploit. To be clear, Cohen pled guilty to participating in the Stormy Daniels scheme that is part of the case going to trial tomorrow . Do you disagree?

Trump blew up meeting on China threat by obsessing over Stormy Daniels: AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson recalled that he was brought to the Oval Office in 2019 to discuss the growing threat, but instead met with a distracted Trump who spent the first 45 minutes ranting about Daniels and male and female relations.

Seriously, you posted 3 hours ago about the Dems not needing a trial, and then when I reminded you about "Lock her up", you don't have a shred of self-realization. Unless you want people to think you are a troll, can't you admit that the MAGA types were ready to put Hilary in jail without a trial? Conversely, the Dems look forward to the Trump trials, if only for the humor value.

From the link I posted: Russian assistance to the Trump campaign Its main assertion — that the Russian government was working to get Mr. Trump elected — was hardly an established fact when it was first laid out by Mr. Steele in June 2016. But it has since been backed up by the United States' own intelligence agencies — and Mr. Mueller's investigation. The dossier's talk of Russian efforts to cultivate some people in Mr. Trump's orbit was similarly unknown when first detailed in one of Mr. Steele's reports, but it has proved broadly accurate as well.

Ever heard Trump say "Lock her up"?

The Steele Dossier was about 70% accurate. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steele_dossier You seem a bit confused about a lot of facts. I'll add this to the list.
