Indictment Monday?

[Anonymous]

I'll reiterate what I said upthread. No reputable newspaper (WaPo, NYT, WSJ, etc) has loudly supported this particular investigation. A lot of journalists wondered why it was revived by Bragg.

So... we'll see.

That doesn’t track with any of the information in Cohen’s federal indictment.

The GA case seems like less of a long shot.

+1 Falsifying business records is a crime that is routinely prosecuted. This is just a sample:

The People of the State of New York v. Josue Aguilar Dubon, AKA Saady Dubon, AKA Alejandro Ortiz (October 2022) — Bronx business owner indicted for failing to report over $1 million in income, avoiding paying $60,000 in taxes.
The People of the State of New York v. Scott Kirtland (February 2022) — Insurance broker indicted for allegedly creating/filing fraudulent certificates of liability insurance to further scheme to defraud.
The People of the State of New York v. James Garner (November 2021) — Mental health therapy aide indicted for allegedly defrauding over $35,000 in workers’ compensation benefits.
The People of the State of New York v. Jose Palmer (November 2016) — Pleaded guilty to petit larceny for unemployment benefits fraud of over $3,000, having initially been indicted for grand larceny and falsifying business records in the first degree.
The People of the State of New York v. Jason Holley (November 2016) — Convicted by jury of falsifying business records in the first degree but acquitted of the predicate crime, insurance fraud.
The People of the State of New York v. Christina Murray (May 2015) & People v. Terrel Murray (May 2014) — Married couple convicted of house fire insurance claim, attempting to recover the cash value of various items of property that were ostensibly lost in the fire.
The People of the State of New York v. Barbara A. Freeland (June 2013) — Convicted for falsely claiming on a food stamps application that a young adult lived with her.
The People of the State of New York v. Maria F. Ramirez (August 2010) — Convicted for returning unpurchased items to a store in exchange for store credit, thus causing a false entry in a business record of an enterprise, and using the store credit to purchase additional items one day.

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.

That was an FEC violation and not a criminal charge so it has nothing to do with anything. DEAR.

FEC violations are violations of campaign finance law, criminal law. Dinesh D'Souza went to federal prison for these FEC violations.

The Clinton campaign’s fine was determined by the FEC responding to a complaint. D’Souza pleaded guilty to a federal crime, not an FEC violation.

So? It does not matter, once you’re convicted of perjury, you’re a known liar. Any lawyer will use that to discredit you, as they should.

Trump signed his own fraudulent tax returns. That's defacto perjury.

How do you know Cohen is his star witness? Seems unlikely. Trump sent Costello in to the GJ specifically to discredit Cohen and Bragg didn’t bother to call Cohen back as rebuttal.

How can he rebut when Costello has documents to prove that Cohen is lying?

Perhaps this is the reason the GJ meeting yesterday was canceled. We will see what happens today.

Lying about what? The cover story that Cohen gave the pornstar a $130,000 tip for servicing Trump and then tricked Trump into reimbursing it and claiming it as a deduction on his taxes?

You don't know your guy well. He ALWAYS has an axe to grind. That's his shtick. He was doing it before he ran for president--he'll be doing it for the rest of his life.

Lol oh look it’s another “Twitter” post by someone who was kicked off Twitter but now has been unbanned by musk with 1,700 following! This is totally fake. Trump paid cohen by check. Cohen’s lawyer is Davis Goldberg & Galper PLLC.
