The persecution of Donald Trump

The prosecution has wrapped up its case against Donald Trump in his New York trial on 34 felony counts of nobody is sure exactly what.

The 34 counts pertain to allegedly falsifying business records, but that’s not a felony in New York, and the statute of limitations on those misdemeanors expired years ago. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg elevated the misdemeanors to felonies by alleging that they were committed as part of another crime.

But he never said what crime that might be.
