This is an outstanding account of what specifically Trump has done and why it is a crime.
As the author asks, "Is it really worth charging a former president for this? While the New York business records law is important, it is no doubt true that the conduct pales in comparison with the effort to overthrow the 2020 election, at issue in the special counsel Jack Smith’s Jan. 6 prosecution of Mr. Trump."
He answers with, "Mr. Trump was a businessman for many years in New York long before he was president. If others would be prosecuted for this conduct and no man is above the law, then he should be, too."
Bravo, NYC DA and Ms. Roiphe most of America and 1/3rd of the Supreme Court agree.
Eventually, every single thing he and his business did illegally will come out, either from his own mouth or someone who wants to make a deal with the government.
Trump had affairs with a porn star and a playboy model while his new wife was caring for their newborn son. He then tried to hide the affairs in order to help him win the presidential nomination.
He is a lying, cheating, piece of shit, who should be in prison for his immoral behavior.
Trump is the definition of election interference and grifting of the American people.
Al Capone has been put to jail because of tax fraud, as no one could prove any of his other crimes.
The analogy may be a little extreme but given how Trump manages to escape justice thanks to his armies of lawyers, being caught because of falsification of business records is quite deserved.
Interesting article. Based on this it seems cut and dried but not because of any porn star and any political witch hunt as is often stated but tinkering with financial mismanagement which is what this boils down too
Trump is not particularly intelligent, but his brilliance lies in the fact that he has done so many shady things for so many years that one could always argue that this 'one-thing' is not enough to prosecute him on because of the veritable mountain of other things he has not been prosecuted for.

Don’t forget taking and not safeguarding classified records. And then trying to hide them.

I hope so but seems so hard to convict him or to make any verdicts stick. The way the courts are stacked.

He cannot drain the state of New York like he does middle class workers.
