How do you know? The charges are sealed.
Also there are 34 charges, and 12 people agreed there is substancial evidence to go ahead with the case.
Oh wait, a large percentage of the US population actually IS in jail.
No. It isn't.
> That's not a crime
Also not what he did.
> Now I can see how they can find some stuff in there to make SOMETHING stick
So you called it a weak case. Despite not seeing the 34 charges and severely misunderstanding the basic facts of the situation?
Maybe its not a weak case and you just do not know about it?
Trump's lawyer, Michael Cohen paid 130,000 dollars to a pornstar to hush about sex she had with Trump in 2006 while Melania was pregnant. He did this weeks before the election. This can be considered campaign financing violation, similar to what Clinton did with the Steele Dossier. Despite this, he lied about it, and a number of other charges were discovered. So he pleaded guilty and got a 6 year ruling.
During this trial he admitted Trump told him to pay that money, this opened the investigation into Trump's involvement. The first discovery was that Trump had paid Cohen with money from his business to give him back the 130,000$. That is misclassification of business files to commit a crime, which is a felony, the investigation fo said felony opened up a ton of documentation into Trump's finances and business. The DA got access to Trumps taxes in 2020, and after over 2 years of investigation are now presenting 34 charges, all of which the jury found substancial evidence to indict.
What started it, a misdemeanor of paying off someone to not make you look bad right before an election, opened up the investigation into the entire trove of potentially illegal business fillings. Some of which appear to be felonies.
Lets see when the case is unsealead if it's so weak, but it is not looking good.
Edit: I guess I DID misunderstand something here. Thanks for the clarification. Let's see how it goes, and if they found some real meat.
Oh, that's not what he's being charged with? They don't typically charge high profile cases on a whim for things that aren't a crime? Nevertheless. What's up with the U.S. justice system? No, like what's UP with it!? Haha. What are the basics, and what's an attorney? Why do they wear those suits? If THAT were a crime, we'd ALL be in jail, haha.
Oh wait, what point AM I trying to make?
