You did? I saw you make claims and list charges - but I did not see an explanation.

Do you have specific questions about those "other crimes"?

What is it with you guys being unable to explain what you supposedly read?

Not only am I able to, but I've already done so.

Yes it did unless there was evidence that proved Trump was trying to cover up a federal crime. There are literally only two legal possibilities:

1. Trump falsified documents to cover up a federal crime. Which would result in a federal trial.

2. Trump is charged with falsifying documents in violation of state law which will inevitably be tossed out because it is past the statue of limitation.

However, the left decided, screw it! We will have our cake and eat it to. We are going to convict Trump for federal crimes in a state court without providing any evidence that such crime had occurred under the presence that a state law was violated long after the statute of limitations.
Correction: The misdemeanors became felonies because they were committed to conceal a crime. Nothing specifies it had to be a "state crime." And happy coincidence, so many crimes to choose from. The indicted ones, the ones where he is an unindicted co-conspirator conspirator, the ones he got away with. So many crimes for them to select. It's not often they find an embarrassment of riches like that.

What was the crime Trump was trying to conceal? You don't know and neither does the jury. Do you not see a problem with that?

I may be wrong but I think the crime was that act of concealing evidence of his shady payments that could have affected the election results.

He is guilty of falsifying business records in connection with a payoff to Stormy Daniels, While Trump was president, he reimbursed Cohen in a series of installments processed by Trump’s company.
He fraudulently disguised those installments as corporate legal expenses in violation of New York law.

Not 'could have.' Did. The election steal was in 2016.

Except that is not what happened in the case.

Evidently the trial rested on intent., Why he did the non disclosure agreement.
It was considered a campaign contribution because it was to help him get elected. If he did it ti protect his wife, or family it was not a campaign contribution. Millions of NDA'S in NEW YORK, but only this one was a campaign contribution. Go figure.
How he paid that money, to keep it hidden, is where the tax charges became involved. He might have even paid more taxes in the end trying to hide a huge amount of money. That does not matter, it was still falsifying payments of money.

We’re all just as frustrated because you and the other TrumpFans keep getting a bunch of basic facts wrong, such as the claim about the statute of limitations that @KCfromNC just pointed out.

We all like getting into it, but it gets pretty ridiculous when one side refuses to do their homework.

Another attribute of Trump supporters.
Repeating incorrect information, even when one takes the time to show it's incorrect.
"Doubling down" on false information is worn as a badge of honor.
