That is true. However, what's not legal is creating false business records to hide the fact that you paid off a pron star.

Dershowitz covered this yesterday. Literally no one has ever put on an accounting form "$X - Payoff for my lawyer bribing a couple of hookers".

The upshot? Trump almost certainly committed a misdemeanor. He may not have committed a felony - and even if he did, it will be hard to prove it.

Every legal analyst I've seen has looked at this and gone uhhhhhhh....when it comes to stretching these into felonies. The misdemeanor statute of limitations ran out years ago, so there's no there there. If Bragg thinks he can claim a crime was committed for purposes of the election, he loses because the FEC will testify there was nothing there either.
