Tax Fraud doesn't have anything to do with Federal Election Law. It is as irrelevant as a porn star expanding

That's not your job here Mike. Your job is to figure why State tax Fraud is relevant, and try and understand it. Your opinion on prejudicing the jury is irrelevant.

The key element being asserted is Trump committed an unspecified violation of Federal Election Law,

That was proven up by Cohen's testimony. Cohen was convicted and spent time, so his conviction isn't debatable, but whether the jurors thought he was credible was very important. There were three different crimes - and one involved state tax fraud, another involved the size of the payment being against the law (FECA). The other one escapes me at the moment, it's very late.

Albaby has explained all this.
