Merchan didn't have to give them 3 categories. It was ALWAYS 3 crimes were committed. They tried for 4 but Merchan rejected 1 of them.
Now, back to the point. You accused me of lying. So are we doing the bet or not?
You are lying, and you're doing it again.
In the jury instructions Merchan told the jury that if they didn't agree with the prosecution's assertion that the "other crime" was violation of NY State election law (promoting someone's election through unlawful means) they could pick from Federal elections violations, falsification of federal records or federal tax law violations....and they didn't even have to all agree on which one it was.
Are you seriously arguing this basic fact? It was literally reported everywhere?
The predicate crime was never proven beyond a reasonable doubt, Trump never got to defend himself against it...BECAUSE NO SINGLE CRIME WAS EVER PRESENTED. It's a massive due process violation.
You've still never been able to name the predicate crime...because it was never named in the trial.
How about this...you don't post again until you can name the
single crime that was proven in court that was used to elevate the misdemeanors to felonies...deal?
In other words, if Trump was guilty of violating State Election Law why hasn't he been convicted of violating state election law? Same thing for the Federal Election Violations - why hasn't the FEC tried him on those? Tax violations - where is the IRS? Falsification of records - why has the DOJ continued to refuse to prosecute those?
Got answers to ANY of these?
Don't you think a crime serious enough to elevate 34 checks written to a lawyer to separate felonies (and carrying a life sentence) should be proven beyond a reasonable doubt on its own merit? You shouldn't be able to throw someone in jail for life based on innuendo.
And no, I'm not making any bets with a bad faith liar. You'll lie or gaslight and claim you were right, then accuse me of not honoring my word. I've seen this act before.
