NY law doesn’t require them to specify the underlying crime that elevates the falsification charge to a felony in the indictment.

Obviously they would have to show it at any trial.

His words:

No, there are 34 charges, one of which is a felony







His point stands. People 100% are grasping your passiv aggressive tactic.

Right. So instead of responding in this thread, to the comments I made in this thread, you just randomly decided to talk about something else entirely?

Par for the course I suppose.


Yes he just tried to get me to talk about free trade, which wasn't even being discussed in here, b/c I ignored his idiocy in a different thread entirely (which is like a double-inception b/c we weren't talking about his chosen topics in that one, either).

No it doesn't.

He was indicted.

He was indicted for 34 felonies.

Any other statement about the nature of Trump's charges is incorrect.

2 + 2 = 4

Trump is charged with 34 felonies.

How many people have been convicted there in such a fashion?

None that I’m aware of.

But no one in this discussion is saying the charges are appropriate/strong/likely to succeed if that’s what you’re going for.

I was trying to warn this very board about ballot harvesting in 2020. It's not always illegal or fraudulent, though.



It was harvesting (which is sometimes illegal) combined with fraud.

Not realizing that tons of votes were cast by people other than the voter is pure ignorance. And, I'm not going to let you pretend you realize it. I'm going to hang you from this post if you try to pretend you knew.

No, I pointed out that in every thread where it is the topic, you bail.


You will always bail.

No, because you can't address it. It ruins your belief.


Please do not make me link the thread on free trade where you did so.

Just step up and state that you have no answer or just say you don;t give a damn about the effects.

In other words, I don’t think one can definitively state that “ NY law doesn’t require them to specify the underlying crime that elevates the falsification charge to a felony in the indictment.”

Certainly this DA is operating under the assumption that it doesn’t, but he doesn’t “make law.” I would assert it is an inherent requirement under our longstanding appreciation of criminal due process.

I guess we will ultimately see what the “law allows,” but based on where we are now, your blanket statement is spurious at best.

You do know ballot harvesting existed before 2020, right?

And it was no secret that many states fought to permit harvesting (while it was previously illegal), right?

This stuff was only news to the Trump crowd, and most didn't even come to accept it until after they quit the Sydney Powell/Lin Wood insanity, years after the fact.

Yes, one can. The simple fact is that NY law does not require that the underlying crime be specified in the indictment in this instance. That has nothing to do with anything else in your post, and has no bearing whatsoever on the ultimate resolution of the case.

The judge accepted the indictment. It will be the DA’s burden to show the underlying crime’s existence in order to prove his case.

And this word salad has nothing to do with whether NY requires that the prosecution specify the underlying crime in the indictment.

Mail in voting made that possibility order of magnitudes more impactful. It's noted that this has to be explained to you. I'll remind you of it later, when you pretend you already knew.

This is such a lie. Trump himself was warning of it during the lead up to 2020. That you need to lie about that reality is meaningful.

The idea that the Sydney Powell version of events is the only thing that lives up to the definition of fraud is humorous.

Unless and until you can show me a conviction that has been upheld under such a process, you can’t say this. I mean, I guess you can, but it’s still not correct as of this moment.

This does not make any sense.

Bragg doesn’t have to disclose the “underlying crime” until he submits his bill of particulars to the defense.

That isn’t specific to this charge and has nothing to do with whether anyone has been convicted under this specific charge. It’s common-place in white collar crimes like conspiracy/racketeering, etc.

How not? What’s necessary to get a conviction is what the law requires. If this gets thrown out for THIS REASON it would be a requirement under the law.

I know you’re dense, but I didn’t think you were this bad.

No, the law does not require in any way that everything necessary for a conviction be laid out in an indictment. Not even close.

The best part is that you’re the one who has no idea what they are talking about at the moment. See my prior edit.

When you have to COMPLETELY reframe a point and address a straw man. I know where we are.

Reframing how? You are the one that stated that the law requires what is necessary for a conviction.

My response simply points out that you are incorrect—at least to the level of detail that you are arguing is necessary.

The law does not require that.
