I just hope Trump is rapidly indicted on the more serious charges against him. I understand the Daniels case could be a misdemeanor or a felony, and that it's worth of indictment, but it does seem petty on the face of it, which is probably why conservatives writ large are complaining the way they are. I don't think there would have been so much show of support for Trump had the Georgia indictment come first. It's the most politically powerful case, pitting Republican against Republican. I'm afraid that now Republicans of all stripes have come out in Trump's favor, they will feel obliged to also defend him on the more serious charges... and this might NOT have been the case had the other indictments come first.

The NY case seems to not just be about Stormy Daniels, there are 34 counts.  But it seems to be more about business fraud than anything else.  I hope the Fani Willis case comes soon - and the Federal case as well.  It would be ideal to have a perfect storm of three different and unrelated cases all hitting at the same time to send Trump's legal team reeling.[/quote]

34 counts would be a violation of DOJ guidelines, which suggest a maximum of 15 counts, though it is not mandatory.
This many counts is a sign of a weak case, where the prosecutor just throws up a whole bunch of counts so the jury would take something.[/quote]

Good thing Bragg doesn’t work for the DOJ then.

Why does anyone believe this 34 counts reporting?  The media reports on this GJ have been wrong over and over again.  It’s clear their sources either don’t know what’s going on or are lying to them.[/quote]

Most of the sources have been from Trump's orbit or Trump himself.

34 seems plausible.  Each false record claim would necessarily have a handful of additional charges based on the mechanics.  ie: money laundering, tax fraud, falsifying records, perjury, underpaying taxes, and using business funds for personal gain.  Each tax fraud claim would also have automatic multipliers because they would have been done through shell companies, each of which would file their own return and have the numbers passed through and along the chain.  Also if he did this for the Stormy Daniels payment just imagine what other more minor things he would do.  His entire tax life has been about aggressively claiming bs deductions.  His tax returns are likely a financial house of cards.  Always remember that this is a man who buried his ex-wife on the grounds of his business in order to claim a cemetary tax deduction.[/quote]
