Why Bragg's "Crime" is 100% illogical? Prosecutor Bragg claims Trump wrote checks to Cohen, allegedly falsifying his campaign records (as hush money) for the purpose of helping his 2016 election campaign, by keeping alleged 'affair' silent. At least 1 public available Check was dated 3/17/2017, for $35,000, written from account identified as Donald J. Trump - Revocable Trust Account. This makes ZERO sense. Trump sends Cohen this check in 2017, from his personal account (as opposed to his campaign account), for the sole purpose of preventing his alleged 'affair' NOT to be disclosed publicly so it won't interfere in his 2016 election. Bragg has NO CASE.
