Whether or not it gets overturned is irrelevant. The law fare is the point. Making DT spend time and money in court versus campaigning and bolstering the media’s portrayal of DT as some sort of evil criminal.

The DOJ's Doctored Crime Scene Photo of Mar-a-Lago Raid
New disclosures in Special Counsel Jack Smith's espionage case against Donald Trump reveal the FBI tampered with evidence to create the infamous photo--and DOJ has lied about it for nearly two years.
SCOTUS much? Their shadow docket? judge shopping in Texas? Fifth Circuit?
Are you ok with the ads out there that Trump overturned roe v wade. That he wants to take away your freedoms. Where he just says what the Supreme Court did. Is this good politics for you. Since this all happened while he wasn’t president. I am just curious if you’re ok with complete and utter bs in a political ad these days.
you mean the same SCOTUS that has consistently shoved the lefts agenda down our throats via judicial fiat over the last 100 years?
If Trump wins, I suspect he is going scorched earth. Don’t Really blame him , I hope he just makes an example of a few folks then goes on with his business
If we become them, we lose. My hope is Trump lnsists on a reputable special prosecutor for each shady dealing and along with the legislative branch, turns the focus back to promoting good policy. We dont need more kabuki theater hearings to get back at the dems. We need charges filed if legit criminal conspiracies are found and a congress and exec branch that is focused on serving the American public.
He let Hillary off but this what he gets. You know any judge in will make sure its legit unlike these commie judges.
Here is a quote from Trump posted on his social media platform:
Yeah, I am not so sure waving that document around helps the defense.
Except he didn’t kill roe vs wade. So they are both lying. And he like the Supreme Court want power with the states. Which means they determine and not the feds what the laws will be. He is even at odds with Arizona. Anyone mention that abortion numbers are up since this happened. Or do they just keep posting women crying about how much Trump has hurt their freedoms. Seems like they can find their way to the clinic just fine. And have been in record numbers. 🤦♂️
How can a state convict someone on a federal law. The doj has already dismissed the the election violations.
What he did is not illegal. Plus everyone so far has testified Trump didn't direct how to classify the payment. I expect Cohen will, but he's such a liar that even a NYC jury won't believe him.
This.
NY has its on election laws that DOJ can't prosecute because they lack jurisdiction. Not sure why folks can't make that distinction...
not in this case...
No, the claim is FEC. In order to raise it to a felony crime and prosecute it in NY, they are attempting to combine it with the NY claim, which is a misdemeanor BTW. All they have to show under the NY claim is intent, but they still have to prove the FEC claim, which technically Bragg can't prosecute. Everyone has testified Trump wasn't involved, and of course Daniels didn't testify at all about it. They brought her in simply to titillate the TDS crowd. No Judge in GA would have allowed her testimony. Merchan shouldn't have allowed it, and it's yet another appealable error in the case. A mistrial should have been granted.
I believe Bragg only needs to prove the following elements:
No point arguing over it with you. I've read the complaint and accounts by numerous observers who are scratching their head over this case, including Dershowitz.
You are right that states don't have ability to enforce federal election campaign finance laws.
Weak at best. But what isn’t in dispute is that it is unprecedented. Like the $450M circus a couple months ago, totally unprecedented. The decision to prosecute the case has nothing to do with law and everything to do with winning an election.
Worse, they don't care about the irreparable damage being done to the country. All for politics and power.
Trump's team and the court are aware and have been aware for a year since the bill of particulars was filed in this case:

Trump's team and the court are aware and have been aware for a year since the bill of particulars was filed in this case:
Old, unused, and 'twisty' — meet the obscure NY election-conspiracy law that just might get Trump convicted
Prosecutors this week said their "entire case" rests on an obscure NY election-conspiracy law. Experts believe it's never before been prosecuted.
Page 4 of the bill of particulars lays out from defense: what "other crimes were committed?"; Answer: "you're not entitled to know, but it may include violations to 17-152"

Not sure what else I can provide here. If Trumps team didn't know the "other crimes" answer then he is screwed.
They are outlined in the statement of facts and supported by the bill of particulars citing multiple code sections. It's likely these have been/will be argued in closing arguments. The prosecution is not going to lay out their case in public to help a defendant build his case. That's what discovery is for.
It's probably buried in the millions of pages given to them in discovery. If they didn't prep that's on them.
Trump is denied his right of confrontation bc Bragg hasn't spelled out the actual crime. He's also denied his right to defend himself when Merchan refused to let him call as a witness the former head of the FEC to testify no campaign finance violation occurred. Then, the clown denies a mistrial when the hooker defied his instructions and contradicted her prior statements and testified about things that had nothing to do with the trial.
