Bragg suggested four _possibilities_ of underlying crimes to turn them into felonies, meaning he was an ape flinging shit at the wall trying to see what would stick. Now he is claiming campaign finance crimes, but that "underlying crime" didn't occur until AFTER Trump won, in 2017, and the payments reimbursing his lawyer's payments are only illegal if construed as a campaign contribution. But if they were illegal campaign contributions, as opposed to personal expenditures, why didn't the Justice Department prosecute Trump for that?
