Nobody thinks Alvin Bragg’s case against Trump is good

Taking up where disgraced Democratic attorney Michael Avenatti left off, New York prosecutor Alvin Bragg has indicted former President Donald Trump with — well, no one is exactly sure how to describe the crime.

If Bragg were trying to ding Trump with a misdemeanor, he would have to show that Trump was knowingly involved in the false bookkeeping entries that the Trump Organization used to describe various hush-money payments regarding affair allegations. But Bragg brought 34 felony charges against Trump on the premise that the false business records were part of a greater criminal scheme.
