The indictment is public record. You could do a search and read it. It has all the answers you are looking for, and has for quite some time. You know, do your own research with primary sources. |
Context and facts are important. Do a little research before you spout off. Regarding the Edwards case, "a North Carolina jury found Edwards not guilty of one count of receiving illegal campaign donations but deadlocked on five other charges, leading to a mistrial. The Justice Department ultimately dropped the charges." As a reminder, the DOJ official who indicted John Edwards, US Attorney George Holding, was a Republican appointed by Bush. The prosecutor was also a Republican. At the time, some Dems said that the whole case was "political." I hope you're not implying that the DOJ dropped the charges because they were influenced by Dems because Dems were not in charge. Bush was president at that time. "When Republican U.S. Attorney George Holding indicted former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards in June for campaign finance law violations relating to gifts to his mistress, many North Carolina Democrats suspected politics were at play. Weeks later, when the prosecutor, a former Jesse Helms aide, resigned and announced he was running for Congress as a Republican, they were all but sure of it." https://www.politico.com/story/2011/10/politics-hovers-over-edwards-case-066864 |
There are over 30 people who have been tried on this, just in 2024. This is not an uncommon crime in NY State. The problem we have is all of these newly minted legal experts in the right wing ecosystem who are spouting off lies and half truths to get a portion of the populace riled up. Here is a sample of others who were prosecuted for as little as $3K worth of insurance benefits fraud. All of these were prosecuted as felony falsification of business records, the same charge that Trump made. These are for fraud ranging form $3K to $60K. So Trump's fraud of at least $175K of payments to Stormy Daniels that were documented as legal fees, is nearly 3 times the size of the maximum in the other prosecuted cases. https://www.justsecurity.org/85605/survey-of-past-new-york-felony-prosecutions-for-falsifying-business-records/ |
Breaking news !!!
Trump Sentenced To Four Years Of Confinement In Small Oval Room In Washington D.C. |
Fantasy. He’s going to lose. Most normal people do not want a convicted felon for president. |
Hundreds of people every year are convicted of the same crime that Trump was convicted of (Falsifying Business Records in the First Degree). It is a very very common charge in NY. |
Let them swim in their delusions. They'll wake up when Biden is reelected and their dear leader is shuttling between court and a jail cell while begging for pardons. |
Trump is way up in betting odds . Very exciting !! |
Oh boy betting odds. |

Polls suggest otherwise. Most see this as a miscarriage of justice and a witch hunt https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-polls-biden-hush-money-trial-1907837 I know it's anecdotal evidence, listening to a radio show in NY and the callers who called in - mostly Black American callers as it was a hip hop station - all said they don't trust what happened and know it's a sham trial. Then Biden going to a "cook out" was a slap in the face. Trump will win. |
That calling in is no different than Trump paying to rig online polls. |
It’s almost like Trump sets the trap for the wild eyed radicals and they just step right in it. |
I think his chances just got smaller. I wouldn't say he can't possibly win - who would have such hubris after 2016 - but. You know. He's a rapist convicted felon who overturned Roe and people are starting to remember the chaos of his presidency. |
