There were several cases cited in the judge’s ruling where that exact thing happened - a person was convicted under the business records law for attempting to conceal a federal crime. Bragg can’t prosecute it, but he can prove it up as an element of the state law case. - albaby

Prove it. But can he prove it or better, did Bragg prove it?
Bragg can't prosecute for the federal crime, I get that. But is seems only fair that Bragg would have to prove Trump committed the federal crime for it serve as a predicate. Heck, it appears that Bragg doesn't even have to name the federal crime. Despite what NY Law says, How can a defendant prepare a defense if that essential crime is not identified?
Absurdities like this are what Dope is getting at when he says the common man is losing confidence is the system.
