Fine, then what was the underlying crime?

And Bragg has no authority to prosecute that. He's pulling shit out

 He doesn't need authority to prosecute those crimes.
 The statute simply requires that there ARE crimes that the falsifications of business records were intended to cover up.
 You agree that Trump did falsify the records, right?

Those are misdemeanors. Bragg suggested four _possibilities_ of underlying
crimes to turn them into felonies, meaning he was an ape flinging shit at
the wall trying to see what would stick. Now he is claiming campaign
finance crimes, but that "underlying crime" didn't occur until AFTER Trump
won, in 2017, and the payments reimbursing his lawyer's payments are only
illegal if construed as a campaign contribution. But if they were illegal
campaign contributions, as opposed to personal expenditures, why didn't the
Justice Department prosecute Trump for that?
