I think the weak part of this is the "an intent to commit another crime or to aid or conceal the commission thereof." It's a crime to jaywalk... the prosecution will fail to show the link
They might fail to show the link beyond a reasonable doubt.
Edwards got away with it. Jury deadlocked.
I guess they might get him if the defense bungles the case and jury sympathetic. My gut feel is it is weak, too technicality... but, they got Capone
Capone's was a solid indictment within the statute of limitations and the facts of the tax fraud was overwhelming, beyond dispute not just reasonable doubt.
I think it should probably be a misdemeanor with these charges... The taboo is gone from this though and I expect other real charges soon, like all of the other shit he really did do.
Lay 'em out. I'll wait. After 8 years of investigations you think something is coming up now?
Trump's modus operandi is to push the law as far as he possibly can, delay, obfuscate, lie,... it's no wonder he's been in courts all his adult life. He's going to keep this going, I don't know how long, maybe for the rest of his life, but the shit may hit the fan too and his luck runs out.
