Trump guilty of 34 counts of Accounting errors. Then when they knew they couldn’t stop him from running for President, they dropped the case.
Donald Trump was convicted of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in 2024, making him the first U.S. president to receive a felony conviction. Despite this, he was granted an unconditional discharge, meaning he faced no jail time or penalties. Here is the link to the Indictment Document.
FALSIFYING BUSINESS RECORDS IN THE FIRST
DEGREE, in violation of Penal Law §175.10
I decided to read the Indictment against Donald Trump to see what the Jury based their conviction on.
New York accused Donald Trump of:
“FALSIFYING BUSINESS RECORDS IN THE FIRST DEGREE”
The statute of limitations for this crime is 5 years. If the alleged crimes took place in 2017 then the clock ran out in 2022. They had to change the law on the statute specifically to charge Trump.
Each Count carries a maximum sentence of 4 years in Prison. Trump is charged with 34 Counts of Fraud so if he got the maximum penalty, he could spend 34 X 4 years or 136 years in Prison.
Each Count is based on a bookkeeping entry. His bookkeeper entered the record of Michael Cohen’s Invoice. Then they entered the record of a voucher to pay him, and finally the entry for the Check used to pay the Invoice. So those 3 entries alone could land Trump in prison for 12 years. And for each other time Cohen’s Invoices were recorded in the books, they created 3 more entries. Thirty-four bookkeeping entries in total; 3 Life Sentences for Trump.
Here is my Edited version. I wrote it in plain English so you can see that it’s just 3 Bookkeeping Entries repeated over and over again to create a massive Case against the once and future President.
I have also attached the Full Indictment the Jury received so you can see it in it’s original form.
Anyone who reads this Indictment and still thinks it has anything to do with the law is either psychotic or totally indoctrinated by the Mainstream Media. Or both. Read it and see for yourself. Steve
