Bragg can’t prosecute it, but he can prove it up as an element of the state law case.

State tax filings. Cohen filed fraudulent state returns.

How is this a felony? Again, the 1st two things were bogus.
Because witnesses aren’t allowed to “testify” as to matters of law. It’s up to the judge to determine what the law is, including whether a set of facts (if proven) would violate the law. That’s why the defense was told they were perfectly free to call him, but he couldn’t propound on legal issues - just facts. Which is what witnesses are allowed to do - testify on factual, not legal, questions.
The judge shot down most of his appearance as a witness. The prosecution can object and the judge can sustain, but sheesh let the guy testify to something.
You didn't answer my question: Do you see how a layperson would look at this and say, "This guy got railroaded?"
