Donald Trump has consistently called the Manhattan criminal case against him a “rigged” politically motivated witch hunt.

This is the part that gets me:

Lying on New York state business records is a crime, though usually charged as a misdemeanor.

Also, the statute of limitations had also expired on those charges.

But Bragg made those charges a felony, and got around the statute of limitations, by saying they were conducted with the “intent” to commit another crime, in this case, a conspiracy to help get election in 2016.

    If Trump’s legal team is failing him, that’s a pity since unprecedented cases do tend to set precedents.

    I haven’t followed any of this really close to comment - but yes, thanks for your input and the link.

      Not really - that’s just the criminal justice system working as intended.
