You mean like the signature line on the bottom of tax returns attesting to their truthfulness? Tax fraud is perjury |

No, we just like making fun of republicans. Everything is awful until republicans do it, which includes lying, multiple marriages, affairs, paying off whoever, etc... |
These are not campaign violations, dear. Another example of a campaign finance law that ended in a fine instead of a trial is that of the DNC and the Hillary Clinton campaign when they falsified records trying to hide the fact that they paid for the Steele dossier. https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-2022-midterm-elections-business-elections-presidential-elections-5468774d18e8c46f81b55e9260b13e93 |
He's not going to be charged with a campaign violation, dear. He's going to be charged with falsifying business records, and these cases show this is a routine charge in NY. Please try to keep up. |
Which is a misdemeanor, sweetie. It can only rise to a felony if it is found that it was done to conceal the commission of another crime. What is the other crime? |
Boohoo poor Donald Trump is always the victim. Numerous lawsuits from those mean Dems. I mean come on, MAGA. 🙄 |
Probably tax fraud. |
On top of a weak legal theory, it turns out the DA hid evidence from the grand jury. This is routine for a grand jury, but in this case Michael Cohen's testimony is at odds with what he testified to before. The DA presented just 6 of 300 emails to hide the contradictions. |
Falsifying business records is one of the likely charges because he called the payoff a legal business expense. DEAR. |
That was an FEC violation and not a criminal charge so it has nothing to do with anything. DEAR. |
