This case unravels if there are flaws with #5. The only reason this case was try-able in 2024 is because they upgraded the โbread and butterโ from #1 to a felony, and the only reason it is a felony is because of the alleged (but unproven in court) underlying crime.
Your thread here is a fairly balanced refute against GOP talking points, and I appreciate it. However, to me you didnโt cross the finish line on #5โฆwhich New York law permits or directs disagreement on the underlying crime? To my untrained eye this screams reasonable doubt..
5. The New York statute on "Conspiracy to promote or prevent election" requires the violator to conspire to promote a candidate by "illegal means." Prosecutors argued that the conspiracy to promote Trump involved three illegal acts: "(1) violations of the Federal Election Campaign Act otherwise known as FECA; (2) the falsification of other business records; or (3) violation of tax laws."
Judge Merchan instructed the jury that New York law does not require the jury to be unanimous as to "what those illegal means were." This is an accurate description of New York law. If Merchan were to have instructed the jury that they all needed to agree on one of the three potential illegal acts in order to convict, he would be making up a new law just for Trump.
The pulling of UNRWA funding across the West is not isolated, and could be the culmination of mounting evidence that the organization has used the classroom to foster Jew-hatred. Read this report from last March. We should at least ask for better. https://t.co/wcKlNXvnsq

The Book of Boba Fett, a new Original Series, starring Temuera Morrison and Ming-Na Wen and executive produced by Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni and Robert Rodriguez, set within the timeline of The Mandalorian, is coming to @DisneyPlus Dec. 2021.
REMEMBER: If your workplace or school or city reopen at any point after Tuesday and before a massive decrease in infections, it was always just electioneering.
Trump has Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on speaker phone to discuss a deal normalizing relations between Israel and Sudan. He asks: "Do you think Sleepy Joe could have made this deal?"
Netanyahu: "We appreciate the help for peace from anyone in America"

Joe Biden tonight said 7 and 8 year olds should be given the authority to be โtransgender,โ despite data proving that the vast majority of kids with gender confusion outgrow it by puberty. Weโre talking life-altering, body-harming decisions made by 1st graders.
