But this case involves behavior committed prior to Trump being President.
A couple of questions for my own edification.
Why don't Statutes of Limitation apply here, misdemeanor charges are well-past expired. But is SOL for the supposed felony not just 5yrs?

Also, does this state case depend on proving violation of a federal statute, the Federal Election Campaign Act?

They do. Also, two Federal investigations took place and no charges were filed.

The Prosecutor is not charging Federal Crimes...outside his jurisdiction.

Because they're arguing it's linked to other crimes. It's explained in detail by another poster a page or 2 back

It can, and that's one angle, but I don't think the only exclusive angle. They're also arguing Cohen's crimes would be in furtherance of crimes that make it a felony.
