The indictment. All charges are falsifying business records. Each one lists a specific thing, like check# or falsifying General Ledger or invoice etc etc and the date it was done.
Falsifying business records in the first degree is a class E felony.
No, I said it was misdemeanors that Bragg worked really hard to make into felonies.Bb-b-b-but Derec promised me it was all misdemeanors!

Note that when he first took over the office, he didn't want to prosecute actual felonies, to wit most armed robberies, as felonies, and only public pressure led him to abandon that policy. But he is very eager to charge hush money payments as felonies based on a technicality.
Do you really think what Trump did is worse than taking a knife or a gun to a bodega and robbing the place? But I know, I know. Lefty excuse for robbers is "how he gonna get his money?"
I know it's not a left position. That's why you leftists excuse rioting/looting/arson by #BLM and Antifa. That's why lefty prosecutors like Garcon, Foxx, Krasner and yes, Bragg, are not prosecuting many criminals, including violent ones, or downgrade charges. Unless it's a political opponent that is.I know this is difficult for a person like you, but following the law is not a Left position.
They are a stretch and Bragg would not be so eager to turn a case like this into a 34 felony indictment if it was a Democrat.If you still think the charges in the indictment and statement of facts are Leftist, then show that from document excerpts.
following the law is not a Left position. It's the default. If you still think the charges in the indictment and statement of facts are Leftist, then show that from document excerpts.
Some are more technical than others. Armed robbery is a very different kind of crime than missteps in bookkeeping.Laws are technicalities.
So now the allegations can be tested. But Trump is still innocent until proven guilty.
Now that the first domino has fallen are there other pollies that need to face the music?

In other words, you can't make an evidenced based argument.I know it's not a left position. That's why you leftists excuse rioting/looting/arson by #BLM and Antifa.

And you go by the DailyKos, The Nation etc. script.Right. Derec can only follow the script implanted in him by his sources (e.g. NY Post, WA Examiner),
Except that Bragg has been derelict on many actual crimes.and attack the personalities who are executing their sworn duties as they always have.
To you all of these crimes are meaningless. Esp. "property damage" done by your political allies like the #BLM rioters.I bet he can't name any candidate or elected official in NY who would, if in Bragg's position, devote the bulk of Departmental resources to Property Damage, burglary, petty theft and your other priorities,
This case is about misreporting hush money, not about "stealing billions".who wouldn't also ignore the billions being stolen by white collar criminals like Trump.
Robbers come in all colors, and they all should be prosecuted for violent felonies. But I do think the perception of robbers as chiefly black is one big reason you leftists want to give them a pass.Personally I think Derec's "robbers" are surrogates for "scary Blacks". B'cuz the math certainly don't add up.
Neither can Bragg.In other words, you can't make an evidenced based argument.

Your incomprehension is not an indicator of my estimation of those crimes' importance.To you all of these crimes are meaningless.

Bragg's job isn't to argue, Derec. His job is to gather up enough evidence that a consensus of 12 people will re4commend for or against charges, then to bring those charges if recommended - as long as he believes there is strong enough evidence for DEPARTMENT LAWYERS to obtain a conviction. Pretty much all the "argument" is going to come from the defense anyhow, arguing and bloviating adnauseum that the law is bad, the judge is bad the DA is bad and its so bad bad bad for the country that its greatest president is being dragged through the mud by leftist traitors. They will try to poison and tamper with the jury pool as much as possible throughout the course of the whole procedure, because that's their only hope of avoiding a conviction and Trump is too proud and stupid to strike a plea. I think that on the prosecution's side, the witnesses and evidence will speak for themselves.Neither can Bragg.
"Missteps in bookkeeping"? That makes his misdeeds seem almost accidental. as if they hired an incompetent accountant, perhaps one who said he had an MBA from Wharton when all he had was a Bachelor's (and he had to cheat just to get that).Some are more technical than others. Armed robbery is a very different kind of crime than missteps in bookkeeping.Laws are technicalities.
“Most felonies”? Do you have actual evidence to support your attempted smear of a black DA?No, I said it was misdemeanors that Bragg worked really hard to make into felonies.Bb-b-b-but Derec promised me it was all misdemeanors!
