The New York Times: “A New York Times review and interviews with election law experts strongly suggest that New York state prosecutors have never before filed an election law case involving a federal campaign. Bringing an untested case against anyone, let alone a former president of the United States, carries the risk that a court could throw out or narrow the case.”

Trump surges to biggest 2024 lead yet, two times over DeSantis

 

Likely driven by MAGA support for him as he faces the threat of a hush money indictment, former President Donald Trump has jumped out to his biggest 2024 GOP primary lead in a widely followed survey.

 

In the latest Morning Consult survey, Trump leads Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) 54% to 26%, a 28-point advantage.

 

DRAFT DESANTIS GROUP GROWS CONFIDENT IN FEC FIGHT

 

According to the analysis, “As Trump awaits potential indictment on charges related to a 2016 hush money scheme with adult-film star Stormy Daniels, he has posted one of his largest polling leads in the 2024 Republican primary. The latest survey shows 54% of potential primary voters support the former president, compared with 26% who are backing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, tying his expected opponent’s lowest level of support since tracking began in December.”

Trump has hit social media for days claiming that a New York district attorney will arrest him for allegedly being involved in a scheme to pay porn star Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about an affair with the New York businessman before he ran for president.

 

Trump has denied the affair and the payment, allegedly made by his former lawyer Michael Cohen. A Cohen lawyer said this week that Trump was not aware of any payments to Daniels.

The survey also showed other GOP presidential candidates have no traction so far, and it singled out former Vice President Mike Pence’s slip.

 

The survey analysis said, “Former Vice President Mike Pence’s favorability rating among potential primary voters declined from 60% to 55% during a week that featured news coverage of his condemnation of Trump’s behavior surrounding the Jan. 6 Capitol attack. Over the same time period, the share who said they’d recently heard something negative about Pence, who is polling at 7% in the nominating race, increased from 15% to 24%.”

Mar 22, 2023, 10:09 AM

https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/110067331153430269

 

Manhattan DA's Trump case rests on shaky legal, ethical ground, experts say

 

Ordinarily, such a charge would be considered a misdemeanor and come with a two-year statue of limitation.

 

Former President Donald Trump on Saturday shocked the world with an announcement that he expects to be arrested Tuesday in connection with an ongoing investigation by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, a case legal scholars have suggested has a questionable legal basis.

 

The investigation involves Trump's 2016 alleged payment of $130,000 in hush money to Stormy Daniels via his former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, whom he later reimbursed.

 

While Bragg has not announced specific charges, legal scholars such as George Washington University Professor Jonathan Turley are predicting an indictment for falsifying business records under New York Section 175. Such a charge would likely be based on Trump's labeling his reimbursement of Cohen as a legal expense.

 

Trump's attorney, Joe Tacopina has argued that Trump's payment to Cohen was in fact a legitimate legal fee. Trump, he noted, never directly paid Daniels any money. Rather, he only paid his own lawyer for services rendered, i.e. legal fees.

 

"The payments were made to a lawyer, not to Stormy Daniels," Tacopina said last week on MSNBC. "The payments were made to Donald Trump's lawyer, which would be considered legal fees. Michael Cohen … was his lawyer at the time and advised him that this was the proper way to do this to protect himself and his family from embarrassment. It's as simple as that."

 

The host then argued that the money Trump paid to Cohen went to Stormy Daniels and was therefore not a legal fee.

 

"It went to Stormy Daniels from Michael Cohen," the Trump attorney countered. "He decided he was going to do it this way and asked for the reimbursement of what he billed as legal fees. That is not a crime."

 

Ordinarily, such a charge would be considered a misdemeanor subject to a two-year statute of limitation, meaning Bragg cannot pursue it solely on this basis. Bragg does, however, have the discretion to convert it into a Class E felony, if he can prove that Trump's alleged "intent to defraud involved further criminal intent to either hide the commission of another crime or to assist in the commission of that other crime," according to Saland Law.

 

In order to meet even the threshhold standard for prosecution, Bragg would therefore need to argue that Trump falsified business records concealing his reported "hush money" payment to Daniels with the intent to conceal another crime.

 

As a hush money payment to ensure silence about an affair would not be illegal in and of itself, Bragg's case would likely hinge on a possible campaign finance violation. If Cohen's payment to Daniels constituted an illegal campaign contribution, then the falsification of records would have concealed an underlying crime, providing legal predicate for a Class E felony charge of first degree falsifying business records. Trump would face up to four years in prison if convicted on the charge.

>>18559143

Bragg, therefore, needs to demonstrate that the payments occurred specifically with the intent to affect the election, a prospect Turley called "extremely difficult," given the myriad other legitimate reasons Trump might have for wanting to keep an alleged affair out of the spotlight.

 

Tacopina argues that the payment was not an illegal campaign contribution, both because Trump used his own money and because he would have made the payment regardless of whether he was running for president.

 

"This is Donald Trump paying with his own money," he told MSNBC. "Here's the bright line test, and here's where this case falls miserably … If the spending were the fulfillment of a commitment or the expenditure would exist irrespective of a campaign, it's not a campaign law violation.

 

"End of story. This would exist irrespective of the campaign."

 

Characterizing the payment as a "nuisance settlement," Tacopina explained that people make such payments to make embarrassing problems disappear but that does not mean the claims are valid, noting his client "vehemently denies an affair."

 

Trump has labeled the case a political witch hunt, a claim he has often made of various legal actions against him. In this case, major legal scholars appear sympathetic to that argument.

 

Turley dubbed the possible trial a "prosecution by plebiscite," referring to the political pressure on Bragg to bring a case.

 

"The season opener of 'America’s Got Trump' might be a guaranteed hit with its New York audience — but it should be a flop as a prosecution," he concluded.

 

Harvard Law School Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz last week likened a potential Trump prosecution to Jim Crow-era legal tactics in which prosecutors predetermine a target's guilt and then find a charge on which to prosecute.

 

Writing in his Substack newsletter, Dershowitz, a member of Trump's defense team during his first impeachment trial, asked, "Does anyone actually believe that if someone else were accused of paying hush money to avoid a sex scandal in the manner that Mr. Trump is suspected of doing, he would be prosecuted?"

 

The former president "should not be indicted for novel and unprecedented technical crimes for which no one else would be prosecuted," he wrote.

 

Decrying "partisan selective prosecution," the renowned civil liberties lawyer concluded: "Equal protection of the law requires equal application and non-application of criminal statutes. Mr. Bragg would be violating that important principle if he seeks a grand jury indictment based on what now appears to be the slim evidence and even slimmer legal basis."

Steve Bannon calls Rob DeSantis a 'weasel' and Mike Lindell brands him 'disgusting' for his response to Trump's looming indictment as MAGA world rages at the Florida governor for his 'porn star' dig

DeSantis said he didn't know 'what goes into paying hush money to a porn star'

He was joining a host of Republicans in condemning Manhattan DA's probe

It came after Trump predicted he would be arrested Tuesday and urged protest

 

Former Trump White House strategist Steve Bannon tore into Ron DeSantis Monday for a 'weasel approach' after the Florida governor included two references to paying off a porn star into his comments on a looming potential indictment of Donald Trump.

 

Bannon issued a warning to DeSantis during his 'War Room Pandemic' podcast, after Trump's own post about his imminent arrest prompted a bevy of Republicans to come to his defense and blast Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg for plotting a partisan prosecution.

 

'Governor DeSantis, you're better than this,' Bannon lectured, directing his words to the potential presidential candidate during the broadcast.

 

'That was a weasel approach. And don't throw in the thing about the porn star. Don't need to hear it from you, okay? Don't need to hear it, okay?' he said, taking a page from Trump, who himself tore into his rival.
