Matt BlazeAs a nonexpert in NY criminal procedure, I was curious about why any of Trump's falsified-business-records-porn-star-hush-money charges wouldn't be outside NY's 5 year (for the felony) and 2 year (for the misdemeanor) statue of limitations. The offenses allegedly occurred in 2017. But NY stops the clock for periods where the defendant is continuously out of state. Had he moved back to NYC instead of FL after leaving the WH, he might have beaten the misdemeanor rap.
Note that paying hush money to a porn star does not, as far as I can tell, in and of itself violate NY law. But falsifying records to cover up the fact that you're paying hush money to a porn star does.
(I just like writing "paying hush money to a porn star" in relation to Trump. It makes me smile).
onecaliberal@mattblaze It’s tax/bank fraud they are going for, IMO
