[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just a reminder that Trump is being tried for two things: first, for falsifying business records, which he did to cover up the fact that he paid off Stormy Daniels so that she couldn’t tell the world he’d had an affair with her when Melania was home nursing his infant son. Such falsification would normally be a misdemeanor, but because it was in pursuance of a second crime—in this case not reporting campaign expenditures, which are what Alvin Bragg is arguing those payments were—it incurs a second, felony charge.

It’s also why this is election interference.[/quote]

The key part of your statement is "what Alvin Bragg is arguing" the payments were.  
And, that would be a federal crime..... so, not in Alvin Bragg's domain.

I agree it is election interference.  By Bragg.

Now, explain why this case was not taken up by the former prosecutor and actually passed over by Bragg himself initially.........[/quote]
Psssst… there are also state laws against election-related crimes.

Using the word conspiracy does not mean Trump has violated this state law.  There was no crime, no 'unlawful means'.  What Bragg has shown Trump has done is not in violation of this law.
And the grand jury did not indict Trump as being in violation of this law.
On top of that the NY law is a misdemeanor.  Bragg has taken a misdemeanor, argued it was in pursuit of committing another misdemeanor,. to produce 34 felony counts.[/quote]
You’re replying to a post that explains what you clearly don’t understand. Here it is again: “Such falsification would normally be a misdemeanor, but because it was in pursuance of a second crime—in this case not reporting campaign expenditures, which are what Alvin Bragg is arguing those payments were—it incurs a second, felony charge.” Hope that helps! 🙂[/quote]
