This "many of us baffled" bullsh!t is wishful thinking by those who want Trump to beat the rap by any means possible.

I think it's a reference to one of the criticisms that has been levied against the prosecution, mostly by conservative lawyers.

It's a crime under New York law to falsify business records, but it's only a felony if you falsify those business records for the purpose of committing or concealing another crime. The state is prosecuting this as a felony. However, they have not definitively stated what crime they believe Trump was concealing through the falsification of these records. They've informally offered several alternatives. Critics of the case are unpersuaded that any of them qualify to support the felony charge, as opposed to the misdemeanor.
