While the indictment remains under seal, one thing is certain: America has entered a new era of politics where \u201cshow me the man, and I\u2019ll show you the crime\u201d takes place.<\/p>\n<p>District Attorney Alvin L. Bragg\u00a0breathed new life into the infamous boast of Joseph Stalin\u2019s secret police chief, Lavrentiy Beria, when he targeted Trump for falsifying business records in relation to a 2016 payment made to Stormy Daniels. Bragg\u2019s decision to seek an indictment against Trump will set a precedent where local prosecutors target partisan opponents, regardless of the person&#8217;s size, making a mockery process of the criminal justice system.<\/p>\n<div id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-497151328\" class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2-long d-flex justify-content-center\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1379703300879-0\" class=\"mb-30\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The news of the charges leaked to the left\u2019s favorite media outlet, The New York Times, while the indictment remained under seal, a reminder that while the legacy media may not be state-run, they peddle propaganda regardless.<\/p>\n<h2>The Charges<\/h2>\n<p>Since the indictment is still under seal, there is some guesswork as to the charges. However, according to reports, the grand jury has charged Trump with more than 30 counts reportedly including ones related to falsifying business records.<\/p>\n<p>The case against Trump is based on Sections 175.05 and 175.10 of the New York penal code. Both sections define the state crime of \u201cfalsifying business records\u201d\u00a0with Section 175.05 providing that \u201ca person is guilty of falsifying business records in the second degree when, with the intent to defraud, he makes or causes a false entry in the business records of an enterprise.\u201d Section 175.10\u00a0converts the \u201csecond degree\u201d misdemeanor to a felony if the person falsified business records with the \u201cintent to commit another crime or to aid or conceal the commission\u201d of another crime. The indictment relates to the alleged falsification of Trump causing the Trump Organization to falsely report payments made to Michael Cohen in 2017 as \u201clegal expenses, \u201dwhen the money instead reimbursed (and then some) Cohen for the $130,000 payment made to Stormy Daniels, a charge Trump denies.<\/p>\n<p>Legal experts have surmised that the indictment will upgrade the alleged offense of falsifying the business records to a felony by charging Trump with lying about the payments to Cohen to hide a violation of federal election law if proven. Cohen has already admitted to paying off Daniels to benefit Trump\u2019s election chances, and he appears to be a star witness against Trump. Another possibility that arises from the Manhattan D.A.&#8217;s indictment is that they accuse Trump of falsifying the organization\u2019s \u201clegal expenses\u201d to aid in tax fraud.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. attorney has already declined to charge Trump with federal election law violations, making Bragg&#8217;s attempt to tie the federal offense to the state charge of falsifying business records seem like political payback.<\/p>\n<p>Bragg may use Trump\u2019s physical absence from New York, ironically because he was serving as commander-in-chief in D.C., to bypass the five-year statute of limitations that applies to a felony of falsifying business records. Such an attempt, combined with the delay in charging Trump, will likely give the appearance of Bragg attempting to concoct a crime to the average American.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has advanced the theory that the charges against him amount to \u201cpolitical persecution and election interference at the highest level in history.\u201d Trump further states that since he came down the golden escalator at Trump Tower, the\u00a0\u201cRadical Left Democrats\u2026have been engaged in a Witch-Hunt to destroy the Make America Great Again movement.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>30-Count Craziness<\/h2>\n<p>Trump is expected to appear in Manhattan court on Tuesday for his arraignment. While it is unknown whether the indictment will be unsealed before then, media outlets have reportedly\u00a0stated that the grand jury charged Trump with more than 30 criminal counts. Unless Bragg has discovered something beyond the details already reported about the Daniels payment, charging the former President with over 30 criminal counts will only serve to make the situation worse.<\/p>\n<p>If the indictment\u00a0contains no new two details, attempting to pile on charges to reach the reported 33 counts against the former president will make Bragg look more like Beria and not make Trump look more at fault\u2013as legal experts have predicted.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-author-description fst-italic\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-tags bdr-top-black mt-30 mt-sm-60 pt-15 pt-md-45\">\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Manhattan grand jury has indicted former President Donald Trump, a spokesman for the district attorney\u2019s office confirmed following late-Thursday media leaks.
