This is what Trump was charged and convicted of.
I must have missed the important parts of the case. Trump either did, or conspired to alter the books, or make false entrys into his books. That is what is claimed here. The jury found him guilty. So who can explain what records he falisified? that part should be easy. It's in evidence. Jury conviced on it. Was it the payment to Cohen? The payment to the whore? The one's he didn't hide?
I have been trying to understand this, and to date, not ONE person has been able to explain it. Almost as if they are all really assholes and don't know anything other than OMB.
It's not complicated.
The indictment was not for the false entries (they were not false anyway - they were legal expenses unless accounting practices have now got a new entry in the ledger for 'paying off a whore')
The indictment was for a false book keeping entry to conceal a campaign finance violation - that the FEC already investigated and cleared as being OK.
In other words there is no book keeping issue or campaign finance violation anywhere in sight.
None of the above matters though and the actual words written in the indictment are completely irrelevant.
The strength of the case was not ever the driving force here.
You need to stop thinking about what is fair/just/right - those days are long gone.

Rigged trial
Rigged conviction
The US has officially degraded to a banana republic, where political opponents are put on trial in kangaroo courts.
I ve see this argument made quite a lot by Trump supporter. Why is the US a banana Republic? Is it because Trump was convicted? I think you are making the same argument as many others have made so far with no much evidence provided.

Well, I predicted correctly.
Rep. Thompson Democrat in Congress is trying to get Trump's Secret Service Protection taken away.
The Dems/liberals may actually be going to try and Arkencide/Epstein Trump if he goes to jail.
If they do that, we will know the true character of the Democrat Party and their supporters who will cheer and throw parties after Trump is Epsteined/Arkencided.
We are living in dangerous times for conservatives who no longer have justice under the law.
We will officially be a dictatorship by political party if this happens.
I fear for the average American Republican who Hillary Clinton in 2020 and a few months ago was saying should be put in formal reeducation. (camps?)
