You’re confusing evidence with proof. Evidence can be falsified or even wrong. Proof is just that, proof of a crime.

For example, Democrats always do there is “no evidence of fraud from the 2020 election” they’re dead wrong. There has been plenty, but does that evidence prove Trump won? That’s what no one has been able to do since the cases were thrown out by partisan hacks.

And wouldn't the felony enhancement be mandatorily explicit, as the trial had no legal right to exist without its existence due to SOL?

If you're asking if the misdemeanors exist, they do not, due to SOL. The felonies do potentially exist.

I agree they mishandled this, primarily from cohen’s whining and refusal to go away because of his home loan and cohen’s wife

people forget that DJT is a pretty famous germaphobe, so the concept of him fricking a pornstar is pretty laughable, espcially in light of her testimony and description of the act

an admitted escort with hundreds of sex scenes on film blacking out from sex with a billionaire is hilarious on its face and prejudicial testimony

why they agreed to handle the persistent and stupid cohen financially the way they did is a mystery to me

if there was any legitimacy to her claim, DJT would have handled it much more close to the vest and seriously

took the prosecutor five hours in closing to go through the evidence chain again. That's all they did to close. They didn't make emotional appeals or anything, they simply showed the chain of evidence as a summarization.

So what other crime was he attempting to conceal by doing this? They spent all their time arguing a misdemeanor that had already expires its SOL and convinced thr jury that this was the federal crime they were supposed to decide?

I think you have a small misunderstanding of evidence.

All courts require a certain degree of evidence to hold a trial. It's a relatively small requirement in civil trials but a pretty high bar in criminal trials.

For the election stealing court cases they were civil suits. They where thrown out because there wasn't enough evidence even to warrant a civil trial. That's actually kind of hard to get to unless you really have no evidence.

For Trump's criminal charges, for 4 different indictments to have been filed means that for each of them they reached the higher bar of evidence necessary to bring criminal charges. That means there's quite a lot of evidence available that suggest a crime may have happened.

Also keep in mind what evidence is. It's not a guess as to what happened. It's either documents (including electronic), testimony or tangible objects that make the existence of a fact more or less probable.

It's not a theory that something could happen. It's testimony or actual THINGS that show that it's likely it DID happen.

With the election stuff there was an incredible scarcity of evidence that showed likelihood that the election was stolen in any way. Forget proof, there wasn't even anything suggesting election theft occurred.

The crime being concealed with Cohen's crime of election interference, which he had pled guilty to in 2018 and has served jail time for.

They didn't have to spend much time on it because it's kind of a given. It's not a potential crime, it is one that has already gone to trial and been found to have happened.

It's incorrect to think the crime being concealed needs to be a crime that Trump committed.

If you stole money from your boss and I falsified business records to hide the fact, I'd be guilty of felony falsification of business documents like Trump was.

Am I guilty of the theft? No. Doesn't matter that I was concealing your crime rather than mine. It's a felony to cover up ANY crime.

SFP can you explain why this trial was allowed to take place if this was outside of the statute of limitations ? I’m honestly not sure what to believe with this issue.
