It is a serious question. How could we know, since the jury's verdict sheets did not include that question?


Now you may rightly say the verdict sheets were not required to. But that does not answer the question of how do we know whether he committed tax fraud or election fraud? Again you may say that doesn't matter either. And I agree but stand by my observation that still we do not know. If you know how we know, please share the source of that insight.

I think Ges and the WAPO article are talking about the 34 counts that he was just convicted. I think any of the three ways it could happen fulfill the requirement for a violation of a New York election law that makes it illegal for "any two or more persons" to "conspire to promote or prevent the election of any person to a public office by unlawful means," as Justice Juan Merchan explained in his instructions to the jury.

Don't get stuck, the three are the "unlawful means", so any of them fulfill it I think, though, at 73 I find myself doubting what I think more often. :)
