Why Any Conviction in Trump’s Financial Records Alteration Case Will Likely Be Reversed
It is highly likely that any conviction obtained in the so-called “trial” of former President Donald Trump’s alleged alteration of financial records will be reversed on appeal, potentially even by the U.S. Supreme Court. This is because altering financial records is only considered a crime in New York if it is done to conceal another crime. In this case, paying Stormy Daniels hush money does not constitute a crime. The true purpose of this case seems to be giving Daniels a platform to voice her allegations on a national scale. It is truly outrageous that the District Attorney pursued this case and that the judge did not declare a mistrial.
One potential factor that could significantly impact this case is if Donald Trump decides to testify truthfully at this trial. Given the perceived bias of the liberal District Attorneys, Democrat jurors, and the judge, there is concern that Trump may face unfair treatment akin to what happened to Michael Flynn. Flynn, Trump’s former National Security Advisor, faced repercussions after providing a truthful deposition to Special Counsel Robert Mueller. If Trump chooses to participate in this trial, he should approach it with caution and perhaps even dismiss it as a baseless attack unworthy of his attention.
