Just in the state of New York there have been many felony prosecutions for falsifying business records; Trump's case was hardly unique.
The biggest thing you can't/won't understand. Your "felony prosecutions for falsifying business records" is a TAX STATUTE. Not a business statute. I would agree, if you falsify your business records and turn it into the STATE REVENUE FOR TAX PURPOSES, that would be illegal. He didn't. It was a private contract between trumpster Inc and the bank.
1. Again, you need to name the victim in this case. 2. They threatened trumpster with prosecution of this during their election to prosecute him on the basis of political party. 3. THEY SPECIFICALLY CHANGED THE LAW TO SPECIFICALLY TAILORED TO ENTRAP TRUMPSTER AFTER THE NORMAL STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS WAS GONE.
Long story short. THEY CREATED A LAW ONLY FOR ONE PERSON BECAUSE OF POLITICAL PARTY. If a law is passed, it must be applied equally. This is not.
That's the part you're avoiding. It's a series of events that show malice and forethought to evoke a law he wouldn't have otherwise been charged with. Had they not made the threats and changed the law specifically for him, the charges wouldn't have stuck. Generally speaking, these cases aren't even brought before the court unless the bank wants to file. In this case, the bank was on trumpster's side. Again, there was no victim.
These weren't tax forms, and he didn't lie to a federal agent. The bank wasn't the victim. The taxpayers weren't victims because it had nothing to do with that. It was a private contract between the bank and trumpster Inc. If you're honest, you can see the government had no business meddling in the contract. Again. NO VICTIM.

"Merchan's verdict was not appealed, nor affirmed. Curt is absolutely correct. A verdict does not need to be affirmed."
Only if it's appealed,which is what pb's been saying.

THAT sounds like "affirmed" doesn't it?
