Subject: Re: Guilty on all counts
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. - Lapsody

Tax Fraud doesn't have anything to do with Federal Election Law. It is as irrelevant as a porn star expanding on Trumps sexual technique, allowed in to prejudice the jury.

The key element being asserted is Trump committed an unspecified violation of Federal Election Law, and the faulty business record were done to cover up that unspecified violation of Federal Election Law. As far as I know that violation was treated as a given but not proven with evidence subject to cross examination. That is what is unfair about it.
