The case revolves around alleged violations related to tax laws and financial records. The outcome is raising questions about \u200dthe legal basis and implications of\u200c the charges\u200c against Trump. During this week, closing arguments in Donald\u200c Trump&#8217;s trial were delivered by prosecutor Joshua Steinglass. He proposed that falsified\u2063 business records were employed to breach New York\u200c state laws. The case concerns alleged infractions concerning \u2062tax laws and financial records, leading to inquiries \u2062about the\u200c legal grounds\u200c and\u2063 consequences of the accusations leveled against Trump.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Donald Trump, as you have certainly heard by now, has been convicted. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The verdict is in. Guilty \u2014 guilty on all 34 felony counts of running for re-election. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That, after all, is the actual crime that Trump committed. It\u2019s the one and only reason that this case was ever brought. They prosecuted him for trying to be president again. That\u2019s the actual reality. That\u2019s the real crime \u2014 which isn\u2019t a crime. But, you might still be wondering, on paper, what crime was Trump just convicted of? Somehow, a day after the guilty verdict was read, the actual crime he was guilty of is still very hard to say.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One possible theory is that the government of New York really doesn\u2019t like it when people overpay their taxes. They\u2019re the first government in the history of the universe that actively punishes its citizens for handing over too much cash. It drives Alvin Bragg absolutely crazy whenever this happens. If New Yorkers pay the government too much cash in April, then the full weight of New York\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/president-trump-please-pardon-jon-woods-a-victim-of-process-crimes-like-michael-flynn\/\" title=\"President Trump, Please Pardon Jon Woods, a Victim of Process Crimes Like Michael Flynn\">criminal justice system<\/a> will come crashing down on them. A jury will convict them in a day, and they\u2019ll face several years in prison. This is how desperately New York doesn\u2019t want money from its citizens.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That\u2019s what you have to believe if, for some reason, you\u2019re still pretending that there was any legitimacy to the show trial of Donald Trump that concluded yesterday in Manhattan. I\u2019ve been thinking of the best way to illustrate just how unprecedented and disgraceful the trial was. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There\u2019s so many possibilities to choose from. But I keep coming back to this one point, because no one else is really talking about it. And it puts this whole debacle into perspective.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As I <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/how-the-trump-trial-has-backfired-spectacularly-on-the-democrats\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">outlined<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  last week, in order to convict Donald Trump, it wasn\u2019t enough to show that he had supposedly falsified a business record. The government also had to show that Trump had falsified those records <em>in furtherance of some other crime<\/em>. But what was that other crime? When I covered the trial <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/episode\/ep-1375-member-exclusive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">last week<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, I had no idea because the prosecution hadn\u2019t suggested anything. We had made it all the way to closing arguments, and still the prosecution had never explained what the crime was that the defendant had supposedly committed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But during those <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ww2.nycourts.gov\/people-v-donald-j-trump-criminal-37026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">closing arguments<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  this week, a prosecutor named Joshua Steinglass finally offered a theory. He said that Donald Trump had falsified the business records in order to violate a different New York state law that prohibits the use of \u201cunlawful means\u201d to promote any candidate for office. But that still leaves a key question unanswered: What were those \u201cunlawful means\u201d that Trump engaged in? You keep peeling the onion back to find what the hell crime Trump is supposed to have committed, and you continue to come up empty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So Steinglass didn\u2019t say, definitely, what the unlawful means were. But he did mention a few possibilities. One of these possibilities was that Trump had violated New York tax law. Now, when you hear that, you might think they\u2019re alleging that Trump is engaging in tax evasion. But they\u2019re actually alleging the opposite. They\u2019re accusing Trump of <em>not evading taxes<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Specifically, Steinglass argued that Trump\u2019s 1099 form was inaccurate because the payment to Michael Cohen was actually a reimbursement, not compensation (as the Trump Organization had reported it). But if that were the case, then the government \u2014 under its own theory of how Trump\u2019s team should have filed the paperwork \u2014 would be getting less money out of the deal because they\u2019re not owed income tax on reimbursements. They\u2019re only owed income tax on compensation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/episode\/ep-1378-donald-trump-found-guilty-of-running-for-president\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show<\/a><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I went through the transcripts and found the quote from the prosecutor, because when I heard about it I couldn\u2019t believe it was real. But it is. Here\u2019s what he told the jury: <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s true that the result of this improper accounting is that the taxes would have to be paid that weren\u2019t owed. You don\u2019t have to pay taxes on a reimbursement. \u2026 So the result of reporting them as income is more taxes are getting paid than are owed. But, as the Judge will tell you, it\u2019s a crime to prepare false tax documents, regardless, even when doing so does not result in the underpayment of taxes.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Here\u2019s that last line once again: <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s a crime to prepare false tax documents, regardless, even when doing so does not result in the underpayment of taxes.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Translation: It\u2019s very possible that the jury just convicted Donald Trump for falsifying business records in order to cover up the fact that he overpaid on his taxes. That\u2019s one of three possible \u201cgrand conspiracies\u201d that were alleged here: a dastardly scheme to funnel too much money to the government. This is the villainous behavior that we\u2019re supposed to believe is a threat to democracy. That\u2019s what justifies potentially imprisoning the man who is leading every major poll to become the next president of the United States. That\u2019s what supposedly necessitated doing something that has never been done before in American history, by charging a former president with a crime.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Just for good measure, if the jury didn\u2019t buy that theory, the government and the judge gave them a whole menu of other options they could choose from. One of them related to covering up violations of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/google-expands-security-efforts-ahead-of-2022-elections\/\" title=\"Google Expands Security Efforts Ahead of 2022 Elections\">campaign finance law<\/a>, while the other was covering up violations of business records laws. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In other words, as Tablet magazine put it, the jury could have found that: <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Trump falsified business records to conspire to steal the election by falsifying business records.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Which circular, incoherent conspiracy did the jury buy? Who knows. The judge didn\u2019t require them to make that decision unanimously. Each juror could have picked a different crime to convict Trump of committing. We may never know.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To restate: The upshot is that a former president \u2014 and the leading presidential candidate \u2014 was just convicted of 34 felony charges by a jury of his political opponents during an election year based on a novel legal theory where the underlying alleged crime was never clearly explained and might not even make sense. And on top of that, the jury didn\u2019t even have to reach a unanimous conclusion about it. 12 members of the jury are walking out of this trial with, potentially, 12 different and opposing ideas about what crime they just convicted a former president of committing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">All that\u2019s to say, there aren\u2019t enough words in the English language to describe what a travesty of justice this case was. Trials like this are what define the third world. \u201cShow me the man, and I\u2019ll show you the crime,\u201d as the saying goes. With this trial, Alvin Bragg \u2014 who ran for office on the platform of going after Donald Trump \u2014 managed to come up with a Frankenstein fake crime for the sole purpose of fulfilling that campaign promise. And it wasn\u2019t just a promise to New Yorkers that Bragg fulfilled. It was a promise to Washington.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you don\u2019t believe that Biden\u2019s DOJ had anything to do with this case, I\u2019d refer you to the video of Alvin Bragg gloating at a press conference yesterday, after the verdict was announced. Watch:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The man to Alvin Bragg\u2019s right in that video is named Matthew Colangelo. He happens to be a former high-ranking Biden DOJ official who left that job in December of 2022 to work as a senior counsel with Alvin Bragg in the Manhattan D.A.\u2019s office. In fact, he was the number-three guy in the DOJ, before he took a massive demotion to work in a much smaller local prosecutor\u2019s office.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Why would he do that? Is he just really passionate about impartially enforcing bookkeeping laws in Manhattan? The New York Post did some digging on Colangelo, and that doesn\u2019t seem likely. It looks a lot more like Colangelo took the assignment to serve as the Democratic Party\u2019s hatchetman to take out Trump. As the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2024\/05\/06\/us-news\/trump-hush-money-prosecutor-matthew-colenagelo-was-political-consultant-for-dnc-ex-obama-donor\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Post states<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: from the Post: \u201cThe DNC paid Matthew Colangelo $12,000 in January 2018 for \u2018political consulting,\u2019 Federal Election Commission filings show.\u201d He was also an Obama donor. This is the man who went right from Joe Biden\u2019s DOJ to Alvin Bragg\u2019s office \u2014 right around the time that Bragg was reportedly waffling about bringing charges against Trump.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You could choose to believe this is all a coincidence. Maybe, you\u2019d think, Matthew Colangelo would treat a Democrat in exactly the same way as he just treated Trump. If a Democrat supposedly falsified some business records, then Colangelo would be hot on their heels. But that doesn\u2019t appear to be likely, either. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In 2022, while Colangelo was still at the DOJ, the Clinton campaign and the DNC <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2022\/03\/30\/dnc-clinton-campaign-fine-dossier-spending-disclosure-00021910\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">struck a deal<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  with the F.E.C., after the F.E.C. alleged that they had falsified campaign records. As <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/russia-ukraine-2022-midterm-elections-business-elections-presidential-elections-5468774d18e8c46f81b55e9260b13e93\">the AP states<\/a>: <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hillary Clinton\u2019s 2016 presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee have agreed to pay $113,000 to settle a Federal Election Commission investigation into whether they <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/lincoln-project-staffer-may-have-violated-campaign-finance-law-ethics-watchdog-says\/\" title=\"Lincoln Project Staffer May Have Violated Campaign Finance Law, Ethics Watchdog Says\">violated campaign finance law<\/a> by misreporting spending on research that eventually became the infamous Steele dossier. \u2026The Clinton campaign hired Perkins Coie, which then hired Fusion GPS, a research and intelligence firm, to conduct opposition research on Republican candidate Donald Trump\u2019s ties to Russia. But on FEC forms, the Clinton campaign classified the spending as legal services.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Well, that sounds a lot like what Donald Trump was accused of doing. Actually, it sounds much worse. The Clinton campaign allegedly falsified records to hide their involvement in spreading the Russiagate lie. That was the lie that dominated the political landscape for, what, six years? It led to thousands of fake articles and investigations and ruined the lives of several people who worked on the Trump campaign. But no member of the Clinton campaign was ever hauled before a jury for falsifying records or for doing anything else. Matthew Colangelo never even dreamed of prosecuting them \u2014 and of course, neither did Alvin Bragg. The Clinton campaign and the DNC just paid a fine and the matter was resolved. There was never any criminal prosecution, much less talk of prison time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But in Trump\u2019s case, the media is now doing everything it can to convince Americans that, according to established legal precedent, Donald Trump must go to prison for this fake crime. That appears to be the next step here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">CNN trotted out several panelists yesterday to make that case:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These panelists want you to believe that Trump is getting special treatment in New York if he doesn\u2019t go to prison. This is a city where you don\u2019t even go to prison if you pummel old ladies in the street. This is a city that is profoundly reluctant to send anyone to prison for anything, even and especially for actual violent crimes committed against innocent people. But this business records case is on a whole other level, they say. Trump didn\u2019t show remorse for this fake crime, so he needs to go to prison. That\u2019s the logic, as Soviet as it is. We\u2019re supposed to believe that\u2019s the normal outcome in a case like this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But it\u2019s not. If you look up recent prosecutions in New York for falsifying business records, you\u2019ll find that virtually all of them <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.justsecurity.org\/85605\/survey-of-past-new-york-felony-prosecutions-for-falsifying-business-records\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">involve<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  allegations of tax fraud or workers\u2019 compensation fraud where the defendant made money. For example, there was New York v. James Garner, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">a case from November 2021, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.justsecurity.org\/85605\/survey-of-past-new-york-felony-prosecutions-for-falsifying-business-records\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">in which a<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, \u201cMental health therapy aide was indicted for allegedly defrauding over $35,000 in workers\u2019 compensation benefits.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There was also the case of New York v. Josue Aguilar Dubon (from October 2022), in which, \u201cA Bronx business owner was indicted for failing to report over $1 million in income, avoiding paying $60,000 in taxes.\u201d On their website, the outlet \u201cJust Security\u201d has tallied many other examples like this. Again, the point is that these people allegedly lied to obtain more money.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In his case, as I said, Trump overpaid his taxes, if anything. So his prosecution is highly unusual for that reason alone. And that\u2019s not the only strange aspect of the case. It\u2019s also more than a little odd that the same judge who handled this hush money trial is also handling the criminal case against Steve Bannon <em>and<\/em> the criminal case against the Trump Organization. And this judge just so happens to be a Joe Biden <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/article\/2024\/may\/18\/judge-juan-merchan-trump-trial-political-contributions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">donor<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Is this normal? The CNN panelists wouldn\u2019t say, but we all know the answer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">They gave every Trump-related case to one single judge, and it just so happens to be a judge who donates to Trump\u2019s political opponent. They aren\u2019t even trying to hide what they\u2019re doing. This is the kind of political corruption you might read about in the Gulag Archipelago. And up until now, you\u2019d read those stories and think naively to yourself, \u201cWow, well thank God nothing that absurdly corrupt could ever happen here.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With the Trump trial, the Left has trampled every norm that exists in the criminal justice system. They prosecuted the leading presidential candidate in an election year for a seven-year-old fake crime. They assigned a hack judge to the case who essentially guided the jury to a conviction. And they did it all in front of a jury in one of the most partisan places in the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A few weeks ago, one prospective juror who disqualified herself from the trial gave an interview in which she explained that, after meeting the other jurors, they didn\u2019t seem completely impartial:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There\u2019s some speculation on social media that this woman might have leaned towards acquitting Trump, but we have no idea. The fact she\u2019s speaking to MSNBC would suggest otherwise. But the key point is her first-hand observation of the jury, which is that they might not be impartial in this case. We all knew that, of course. It was always impossible \u2014 quite literally impossible \u2014 that Trump would get an impartial jury. Nobody on Earth is impartial to Donald Trump \u2014 and if such a unicorn does exist, they certainly don\u2019t live in New York City.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But this illustrates a key difference between the Left and the Right, which is that in general, the Left is committed to winning at all costs. They\u2019re happy to seat biased jurors and judges to get what they want. Meanwhile, conservatives are preoccupied with \u201cnorms\u201d that no one else in the country cares about.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Republicans could have arrested and charged Hillary Clinton for any number of crimes, at any point in the past decade. They could\u2019ve pursued that Steele Dossier F.E.C. charge I mentioned earlier, or investigated the Clinton Foundation, or prosecuted Clinton\u2019s retention of classified materials (followed by her lie to the FBI during an interview about those materials). But Republicans didn\u2019t do any of that \u2014 on the basis that Democrats might return fire. And so Republicans continue to cherish our \u201cnorms\u201d while Democrats blow the norms to smithereens with a thousand sticks of dynamite.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The necessary response is now obvious, although it won\u2019t be pleasant. Donald Trump should immediately create and publish a list of ten high ranking Democrat criminals who he will have arrested when he takes office. First on the list should be Joe Biden. Second should be Joe Biden\u2019s crackhead son.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the meantime, Republican AGs all over the country should pursue their own indictments. Border states should charge government officials for deliberately contributing to human trafficking at the southern border. If Donald Trump\u2019s \u201chush money\u201d was illegal because it interfered with an election, then so is importing millions of foreign nationals every year. That\u2019s the biggest form of election interference imaginable. Time to empanel a grand jury right away, in the reddest city in the reddest state on the map. Better issue a gag order on Joe Biden, too, for good measure. Put corrupt Democrats on trial in front of juries that already hate them before the trial even begins. Does that mean we\u2019re \u201cstooping to their level\u201d? No. It means that we must stop pretending that we live in a country that no longer exists.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Will any of this ever come to pass? We\u2019ll see. It\u2019s doubtful. But it\u2019s the only viable option. Right-wing lawfare is what\u2019s necessary to defeat Left-wing lawfare. The entire legal system depends on a series of unstated principles \u2014 that prosecutors won\u2019t pursue political cases, that juries will be impartial, and that crimes must be clearly defined. Once one side violates all of these principles, then the principles cease to exist for everyone. It\u2019s mutually assured destruction. But that\u2019s a deterrent that only works if there\u2019s a real possibility it\u2019s enforced. And after what just happened in Manhattan, it\u2019s well past time to introduce the Left to what \u201cmutually assured destruction\u201d might look like.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Frankly, I don\u2019t want to hear elected Republicans complaining about this verdict. I don\u2019t need to see their tweets and statements condemning it. The only thing I want to hear from these people is which Democrats they will have arrested. Don\u2019t tell us that you\u2019re sad about the verdict. We don\u2019t give a damn about your feelings. We want to see corrupt Democrat criminals frog marched on camera in handcuffs. Don\u2019t whine about the double standard. Force the Democrats\u2019 own standards upon them. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Drag them there kicking and screaming.
