 Those are misdemeanors. Bragg suggested four _possibilities_ of underlying

They're misdemeanors unless he shows they were committed to cover up another crime.

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?

You remember that his lawyer went to jail for this, right?
Cohen pleaded guilty to
'and one count of making an excessive campaign contribution at the request of a candidate (Trump) for the "principal purpose of influencing [the] election".'
