Trump = Winning

175.05 does not appear to be expired according the NY penal codes. It is still on the books as a misdemeanor. 175.10 is a felony.  If you know otherwise, please provide a link showing it is expired?

Expired meaning the deadline to prosecute Trump for this misdemeanor has passed.  But go ahead and avoid the gross violation of Trump's due process rights.

If this is true, then the defense should point this out and request those portions of the charges be dismissed. Even if the Judge refuses, the defense should make an issue of this in closing arguments. It seems to me if this is legally supported, it should be a no-brainer.  It seems to me that somebody is missing something, here.

I have heard that the prosecution must tie these charges to another crime. This might be why NY election fraud is mentioned so often by the media.

Yes it's true.  This case should have never been filed.  But when the left is infected with TDS, this is what you get. 

[Dos Equis]

"a planned, coordinated, long-running conspiracy to influence the 2016 election"

Sounds much like what the election campaigns, political parties, PACs, superPACs, dark money groups, media stories, members of Congress etc did. Also what Russiagate was.

Yep.

I have more faith in the law than you do. Not that mistakes are not made, but I am inclined to leave these matters to the folks with law degrees. Of course there are good lawyers and bad ones.

I zero faith in the system when it becomes consumed by partisan politics, like it has with Trump. 

You had faith in the Colorado Supreme Court to remove Trump from the ballot when they got reversed 9-0 in the U.S. Supreme Court?  Or the system that provided zero accountability for what happened during the Russia hoax?  We have seen a litany of abuses the past 7 or 8 years, many with little or no consequences.

First off partisan politics has been around longer than Trump has been in politics. Actually, it got going in the 1970s and ramped up in the 2000s. Trump uses partisan politics to further divide this country and to his personal advantage in order to put himself in a position of power. Since losing the 2020 election he has used partisan politics to drum up sympathy and support (read campaign contributions) for himself... and it seems to be working for him. Not so much for this country though.

BTW, did I really have faith in the Colorado Supreme Court to get him off the ballot? If so, it was good faith because they did, until they were told no deal by a heavily stacked in Trump's favor Supreme Court. Poor poor, Trump he has been so abused over the past eight years. It breaks my heart!
