How do you get 30+ charges out of the Stormy Daniels payoff?
Or even that plus the other woman he paid off?
Are these charges going to include a bunch of other financial crimes?

If Chump had paid Stormy Daniels out of his own private account, it would have been legal and private. We never would have heard about it. But he didn't do that. He took money out of the campaign funds and paid it to Michael Cohen, who had originally paid off Daniels to keep her quiet. The payment to Cohen was reported fraudulently and that's where everything went haywire.
Campaign funds come from donations and the laws are very clear how that money must be used and reported. There are New York State laws that control how the money is to be used, spent only for campaign items, and then reported for taxes. Chump broke the law and we already know from Michael Cohen's plea testimony (and subsequent conviction) how it was done. Chump lied about it and thought he got away with everything for years.
Of all the charges Chump is facing now and in the future, this is the only indictment for actions before he became President. All the other stuff that will come out of Georgia and Dept. of Justice will be for things he did as the sitting President. High Crimes in Office, you might say. This indictment from New York County is probably the least serious of all, and yet there's a mountain of evidence to prove his guilt.
which may have been used to declare the payments tax deductible.
