Let me try, I've been reading Albaby. Hope I remember.
Prove it. But can he prove it or better, did Bragg prove it?
Wasn't Cohen convicted of the crime, therefore there is no need to prove it.
Bragg can't prosecute for the federal crime, I get that. But is seems only fair that Bragg would have to prove Trump committed the federal crime for it serve as a predicate.
The crime Trump helps cover up doesn't have to be his (Trump's) crime. In this case helping Cohen commit the crime of of fraudulent tax returns, and Trump causing the creation of false business records to assist in the crime. Trump signed the checks and set all the wheels in motion.
Heck, it appears that Bragg doesn't even have to name the federal crime. Despite what NY Law says, How can a defendant prepare a defense if that essential crime is not identified?
Bragg identified three crimes. The confusion is that each juror can decide which of the three, or a combo, that they believe is believable.
Absurdities like this are what Dope is getting at when he says the common man is losing confidence is the system.
It isn't absurd, but your sources will make it absurd. Most of the sources HC posts are junk that doesn't help you understand. Dope isn't any better.
Dope is talking to someone that is his intellectual superior, telling him this is all BS, when it obviously is not. The jurors understood and seemed to come to a good conclusion. I don't think the jurors are geniuses.
