I'm still confused (Trump trial).

33. " ALL falsifications of business records could be assumed to be in aid of covering up another crime"

They are… Sort of.

My brother was an auditor for DOD for 20 years and this is exactly what he looked for. The reason this case seems so unusual is because pretty much nobody fights in court. Every time someone is caught they are told to take the misdemeanor and pay a fine in line with the crime or when we go to trial it will be prosecuted as in furtherance of another crime and as a felony.

So while they are ALL in furtherance of another crime, they are rarely charged that way because pretty much everyone takes the deal.
