“Pundits have been speculating that Trump would be charged with lying about the hush money payments to illegally affect an election, and that theory rests on controversial legal issues and could be hard to prove,” said Rebecca Roiphe, a New York Law School professor and former state prosecutor.
“It turns out the indictment also includes a claim that Trump falsified records to commit a state tax crime... That’s a much simpler charge that avoids the potential pitfalls.”

I don't know how you could make the rule administrable, but I kinda think however you get $175 million out of JPMorgan Chase, it shouldn't be subject to fraud charges. That's just "the game"

Previous toot brought to you by having just installed a microcontroller flashing utility from a vendor. It has a "cloud" option, but you'd need to install a "cloud agent" on your computer anyway, so...?
I love to use a local app on my desktop that looks just like and feels as sluggish as a website.
(And no it does not need to do anything with the cloud while it runs except for whatever surveillance I "agreed" to during the install.)

I'm entering "old many yells at cloud" territory, but I just realized we've gone from "mobile first" for websites to "web first" for everything. It's really too bad that the web became the de facto cross platform gui toolkit.
