This basically breaks down the ludicrous lawfare in Manhattan against Trump:
Trump was charged with causing the business records of his company to be falsified (a misdemeanor) with the intent of covering up another crime (another misdemeanor) that he might or might not have committed but intended to commit and in any event depended on one or more of three other unlawful acts that the prosecutors said, but did not have to prove, that Trump intended to commit. Experienced legal minds struggled to comprehend Bragg’s case.
What’s next in the lawfare campaign against Trump
The first thing to say about the Democratic lawfare campaign against former President Donald Trump is that it has been a smashing success. With help from a senior Biden Justice Department official and a Biden-donor judge, Manhattan Democratic District Attorney Alvin Bragg set out to convict the former president on 34 felony counts and ended up convicting the former president on 34 felony counts. By any measure, that is a triumph for a prosecutor — and his party.
Now, though, comes the task of converting a win in court into a win in the presidential election, which has always been the underlying goal of the lawfare campaign. Even with all of President Joe Biden‘s liabilities, including his age, inflation, and the border disaster, some Democrats believed that if they could just call Trump a “convicted felon,” enough would-be Trump voters might abandon the Republican candidate to allow Biden to win a second term.
