Sounds like a criminal offence to me. or 34 offences, to be precise 😉
“The defendant, Donald J. Trump, is guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree to conceal a scheme to corrupt the 2016 election.”

#Steinglass says that defense is arguing that #AllenWeisselberg & #MichaelCohen assumed authority over large amounts of #Trump’s money. “That’s crazy,” Steinglass says. “Neither one had anywhere near that kind of authority.”
Steinglass attacks defense’s “false narrative” about #Trump not attending to his finances after he became president. He notes an assistant in the #WhiteHouse, #MadeleineWesterhout, testified Trump paid extremely close attention to his personal finances.

#Steinglass is now focused on the“gross-up” of the amount that #MichaelCohen was paid for tax purposes. Legitimate legal fees are not “grossed up.”
Steinglass reminds the jury that #JeffreyMcConney, the fmr controller of the #TrumpOrganization, testified that in 50 yrs he was never aware of a payment being doubled for taxes. He then argues that this gross-up was made because the reimbursement was disguised as income.

#Steinglass refers to exhibits that #JeffreyMcConney, a longtime loyal #Trump employee, testified about: #AllenWeisselberg’s notes setting up the repayments.
Steinglass refers to these exhibits as “the smoking guns” of the prosecution’s argument, saying they “completely blow out of the water the claim the money paid to Cohen” was for legal services.
(see above exhibit 35)

“#StormyDaniels was a walking, talking reminder that Trump was not just words" at a time when Trump was trying to distinguish between his words & both Clintons’ actions, #Steinglass said.
Steinglass notes that Trump had not shown much interest Daniels' story until after the #AccessHollywood tape came out.
He shows phone records w/a huge increase in communications between #KeithDavidson, #DylanHoward, #MichaelCohen & #Trump. -
#Steinglass list the many witnesses who testified who are still loyal to #Trump: #HopeHicks, #MadeleineWesterhout, #JeffreyMcConney, #RhonaGraff & David #Pecker. Steinglass says that Pecker has “absolutely no reason to lie here,” & adds, “and yet, his testimony is utterly devastating.”

#Blanche, draws on a 2018 recording in which #StormyDaniels's lawyer at the time said that his client had “settler’s remorse” for having agreed not to tell her story. Blanche claims that Daniels changed not because she decided to tell the #truth, but because she wanted to make #money.
Blanche introduces what he calls a “separate conspiracy” between Daniels, #GinaRodriguez, her manager at the time, & #DylanHoward, who was the editor of The #NationalEnquirer.

#StormyDaniels insisted on getting into the #TrumpTrial record that #DonaldTrump didn’t wear a condom - even though she had previously explained that she only worked on #SafeSex movie sets - because she knows that #RoevemberIsComing. 👉 https://people.com/stormy-daniels-testifies-donald-trump-did-not-wear-condom-criminal-trial-8644656

The people called #MadeleineWesterhout. #Westerhout was Trump's executive assistant in the #WhiteHouse. She was fired after she spoke out of turn about the Trump family at an off-the-record dinner.
Westerhout went on to write a book in which she extensively praised #Trump. Prior to his presidency, she worked for the RNC. Trump is watching her, pursing his lips at times. He smirks when she says she is nervous to be here today.

A new witness, Rebecca #Manochio, has taken the stand. Manochio is a junior bookeeper at the #TrumpOrganization. She is being questioned by Rebecca #Mangold, a prosecutor.
Manochio is describing working for #JeffreyMcConney, the #TrumpOrg corporate controller who testified earlier in the trial, & #AllenWeisselberg, the fmr CFO who is currently in #jail.

The Independent curiously didn't mention Aaron Bushnell in it's round up of recent American self immolations.....

“Trump’s in on it,” #MaxAzzarello said on Thurs. “It’s a secret kleptocracy, & it can only lead to an apocalyptic fascist coup.”
People who witnessed the fire said they were in disbelief as they saw Azzarello, who was in an area of the park reserved for supporters of #Trump, toss the pamphlets into the air & then flames shoot toward the sky. Azzarello, who was wearing jeans & dark gray T-shirt, fell to the ground amid the fire.
-
In an interview that day, he said his critical views of the American govt were shaped by his research into #PeterThiel, the techn billionaire & political provocateur who is a major #Trump campaign donor.
#MaxAzzarello said he had planned to protest at Washington Square Park near NYU but thought that w/the cold weather, more people would be outside the courthouse.
-
A high-ranking PoliceDept ofcl identified the man as #MaxAzzarello, 37, of St. Augustine, Florida. Mr. Azzarello had appeared outside the courthouse on Thurs w/a sign displaying the address of a website where the same pamphlets were uploaded. The top post of the website says, “I have set myself on fire outside the #TrumpTrial.”
The pamphlets he threw into the air & published online before the incident espoused AntiGovernment #ConspiracyTheories.

Colony Capital was founded by #TomBarrack, a real estate mogul who chaired #Trump's #inauguration cmte & was the 2016 Trump campaign’s go to on foreign policy stuff.
Barrack was charged & went to #trial in Brooklyn #federal court re #FARA - it was alleged he was secretly acting as a foreign agent on behalf of the UAE in the campaign & then the WH.
In the end he was acquitted - but there was a cooperation deal.

Back to #McConney #witness / #defendant #testimony:
#NYAG #Amer delves into a flagrant instance of #fraudulent #valuations.
#Trump’s #SevenSprings estate planned to build 7 mansions on the property valued at $23M each.
McConney confirmed that in 2012, #EricTrump was involved w/the development of the #Westchester, NY, property & that he (McConney) assumed all necessary approvals were obtained prior to build.
-
#McConney is first on the stand today; followed by #AllenWeisselberg on Tues; after that, #NickHaigh, a risk manager w/ #DeutscheBank; then #PatrickBirney of #TrumpOrganization, & depending on time, #MichaelCohen by the end of next week.
Justice #Engoron called the trial to order, & McConney is on the stand. McConney is also a #defendant in the case. Today he’s to be questioned about the Trump Org’s relationship w/another #RealEstate company, #Vornado.
-
#McConney, who's also a #defendant in the #Trump #fraud case, was then shown letters he sent to a lender to disclose the statements of #financial condition to Royal Bank America. That letter & others like it are part of how the AG will attempt to establish McConney’s #liability for #false financial statements, in addition to his involvement in preparing the statements themselves.
The trial adjourned for lunch.
McConney is scheduled to resume testifying at 2:15 PM ET.
