@AndyGrewal @alegalnerd @RealFacelessMan @arikarikari Hey Andy I see two problems with the critique you are making, each of which is sufficient./1

@AndyGrewal @alegalnerd @RealFacelessMan @arikarikari The first is that the bottom line takeaway is that prosecutors would need to prove Trump’s intent and that will be challenging. The article makes that clear. In a general-readership news article, one doesn’t want or need to get that far down into the weeds./2

@AndyGrewal @alegalnerd @RealFacelessMan @arikarikari The second is that you are erroneously collapsing two types of 371 conspiracy into just defraud-the-US type. But there is also ordinary agreement-to-violate-another-statute type, i.e. Trump & Cohen conspired in illegal campaign contributions apart from FEC reporting violations./3
