Even though Trump was not physically in New York during the dates given for some of the counts in the indictment, the payments went through the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust and was processed by the Trump Organization which are in New York and formed under laws of that State.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
I'm not saying that Trump being elsewhere doesn't matter- it does.
Just saying that, as I understand this, the Trust and Org being in New York is how the DA gets there on these counts.

Helpful chart here.

1) Opportunity here for Trump to produce that retainer agreement.
2) '....the prosecutor in the Cohen investigation said Tuesday that Cohen “sought reimbursement for that money by submitting invoices to the candidate’s company, which were untrue and false. They indicated that… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
(Sorry I am slow with threading this. I’m making dinner, minding a four year old, and trying to research and thread all at the same time haha)
TO Controller = Jeff McConney
TO Accounts Payable Supervisor = Deborah Tarasoff
These two were the first witnesses to be called by the prosecution in the Weisselberg case.

Some of these lines are practically copy/pasted from Cohen's guilty plea, haha.
Which... is gonna be a problem for Bragg.
Paid by DJT personally, BUT in accordance with the invoices he was given.
Lawyer C = ?
Lawyer D = ?
Possibilities are Robert Costello, David Schwartz, Rudy Giuliani, Lanny Davis...
Cohen's guilty plea
justice.gov/usao-sdny/pres…
AMI's non-prosecution agreement
s3.documentcloud.org/documents/5540…
"...in coordination with, and at the direction of..."
The only crime charged in this thing is 'Falsifying business records.'
Normally a misdemeanor, Bragg is charging it as a felony.
Yet, he doesn't charge any other crimes or even spell out what the other crime, which is what allows him to upgrade the charges into a felony,… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
There are so many problems with this thing that it's difficult to know where to begin.
-Stormy has previously stated there was no affair
-Cohen plead guilty to falsifying the very invoices/records these charges are built on
-Cohen also plead guilty to lying to Congress
-Weisselberg plead guilty to 15 felonies recently and one of the crimes was falsifying a payment to his wife
-Trump separated from the Trump Org when he became President and turned it over to trustees
-Trump wasn't even in New York on ANY of the dates mentioned in the counts!… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
-The fact Trump wasn't in NY during the alleged criminal acts, but was instead in DC and elsewhere, I think would normally kick this thing over to the SDNY.
They already looked at this matter and decided not to charge.
Reportedly for two reasons:
a) Concerns about Cohen's… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
-And again, the underlying crime that Bragg is using as basis to bring what would normally be misdemeanors as felonies ISN'T EVEN NAMED OR EXPLAINED in the indictment or statement of facts.
One would ASSUME it is campaign finance fraud or similar, BUT the FEC already looked at… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
-Lastly, there's the issue of the statute of limitations. The alleged crimes took place outside of the 5yr limit. Even the most recent payment is out of it.
Just Security has an idea of how this could be dealt with - tolling.
Basically, not counting the time that Trump was… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
And I'm sure there are some holes I haven't noticed.
No doubt, Trump's counsel sees them.
The next dates of note are in this tweet from Manu Raju.
That discovery is going to be spicy, no doubt. As will the incoming Motion to Dismiss from Trump's team.
As regards how far this thing will go and how under threat of conviction Trump actually is, I point you to the man himself.
Does he look like he is on the ropes?
And the biggest tell of all...
Trump just spoke from his home, Mar-a-Lago.
He's posting clips of it right now on Truth Social
truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTru…
It Trump was truly under threat his attorneys would be telling him to SHUT UP.
