Excellent article by The Philadelphia Inquirer about candidates campaigning in churches .
Ferdi Magellan“Federal prosecutors determined the scheme that was directed by Trump and executed by Cohen was illegal. Among other things, the payments by Cohen, which were ultimately reimbursed by the Trump Organization, constituted unlawful corporate contributions to Trump's campaign.
“Cohen pled guilty to campaign finance violations and other crimes and was sentenced to three years in prison for his role. But federal prosecutors declined to charge Trump, even though he played a central role in the scheme, either before or after Trump left office.
“Bragg, a state prosecutor, is entitled to make a separate determination regarding whether Trump's conduct violated New York law. In the indictment, Bragg states that Trump "repeatedly and fraudulently falsified New York business records to conceal criminal conduct that hid damaging information from the voting public during the 2016 presidential election."
“Will 12 jurors from Manhattan agree? We'll find out in a few weeks.”

excellent, concise piece that not only explains the seriousness of the #election interference case (aka the hush money case, which is more salacious-sounding and therefore used more often) but the incorrect arguments, offered by some #lawyers and #media (this coverage contributed to my dropping the #WashingtonPost, I believe it was a #RuthMarcus piece poo-pooing the case) about the seriousness of the case (buttressed of course by calling it the hush money case). https://popular.info/p/people-v-trump
