Oh my goodness. I just read #CBSNews' summary of what #Trump's actually being charged for in the #StormyDaniels hush money case and it's HILARIOUS
> Prosecutors say Cohen was then reimbursed by Trump in a series of 12 monthly payments from the Trump Organization that were logged and characterized as checks for ongoing legal services, as opposed to repayments for the hush money. Trump is charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records and has pleaded not guilty.
@realcaseyrollins it's better to read the charges directly from court documents since the normal media tends to misreport what's actually going on.
Here's a link.

@volkris I don't have the time to read all of that.
Was #CBSNews wrong here: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trumps-trial-new-york-today-hush-money-jury-selection/
@realcaseyrollins I would say the CBSNews story misses critical issues of intentional tax fraud and violation of federal campaign laws that make this more than just a hush money case.
Many people have been downplaying the charges on account of them being just an NDA that was mishandled, as if by accident even.
@volkris So he's facing tax fraud and campaign violation charges as well?
