The jury instructions actually cover this.

I'm a CPA but please explain to me what "Gross Up" means in relation to a business expense reimbursement?


It was the term Weisselberg used to describe their scheme to reimburse Cohen for paying off Trump's porn star, and falsely misclassify it as a legal expense.

Did you think it was a word I came up with? He wrote it ON THE INVOICE.

You should try paying attention sometime.

I guess Trump lubes up his dick with Germ X hand sanitizer after he fux porn stars and sluts. That is one thing I've always found him stupid for, claiming to be a germaphone while screwing sluts without wearing a condom. Oh, and pee is sterile is the answer to your Russian hooker question.

So its not a real thing. If you gross something up you ate presenting it NOT net. The only time presenting something gross instead of net, would be a crime, is if GAAP requires it to be presented net and someone knowingly and with the intent to conceal. Such as someone presenting Fixeds assets not net of depreciation with the I tent to deceive the user of the financial statements.

There is no such thing as what you're describing.

So, he didn't gross anything up, you're just retarded.

And it's not a fricking crime. Even if it were "grossed up" whayever the fuxk that means, he can pay as much as he wants for legal fees. There is no limit on legal expense under GAAP so long as it is in the course of business. Which certainly describes protecting a brands image. It's made up bullshite by the prosecution to confuse financially illiterate morons with TDS, like yourself.

My team audit 100s of FS every year, I personally review and sign off on about half. There is not law or rule requiring nuisances fees to be disclosed or labeled as such, to the extent they are immaterial.

Just admit you know nothing about finance nor accounting.

It raises the question of how NY jurisprudence got here.

But they didn’t. He’s still a free man as of now. He was out giving a rally/speech right after the verdict. I don’t think he’ll spend a day in jail when all is said and done. Sorry, comrade.

Another crime within the state's jurisdiction. NY has no more basis to consider "an intent to commit" a federal crime than it does "an intent to commit" a crime in Uzbekistan.

Isn’t this what he did? The check I saw was a DJT check, not business, not campaign, so what’s the crime?

Not necessary, because a conviction wasn't required.

So how can they prosecute felons for possession a firearm if that felony conviction was in federal court?

But the issue is the judge told the jury they didn’t need to agree on WHAT that other crime was. All they had to do was all agree that some other crime was committed or intended to be committed. They could all believe it was a DIFFERENT crime so long as they all believed the crime was a felony.

As far as I’m aware that is unprecedented in American law

Correct. That almost certainly won't survive appeal. That is a different issue.

We are ignoring the assumption of the OP, though.

Because it’s a crime for which they’ve actually been triad and convicted of. In this case, Trump was convicted for felonies that were only made felonies on the back of an alleged, unproven federal crime.

For this conviction to be valid, and the most proximal reason why most believe it will be overturned, the alleged unproven crime(s) the jury believed he committed would have had to be state crimes. But they weren’t, and thus a state conviction was made on the back of a theoretical federal crime that Trump has never actually even been convicted of. And again, aside from all that, is the unprecedented nature of telling a jury they don’t have to agree on what the other crime even was. They could each believe something different so long as they each believe it was a felony. That’s unheard of and preposterous.

Using the legal rational established in this case literally ANY American could theoretically be charged with a felony if they have ever had a misdemeanor traffic charge.
