I'm still confused (Trump trial).

85. That's not true...

...there's a thing called "prosecutorial discretion" and the Southern District of New York, prompted by the Trump Justice Department, declined to prosecute Trump, who was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in Michael Cohen's federal case.

I'm taking your questions in good faith. The NY jury was asked to consider if the misdemeanor crimes of falsifying business records was in furtherance of any other crime. That would elevate those misdemeanors to felonies and the underlying crimes. One of the underlying crimes was the violation of NY State election law. Violations of tax reporting could also be considered. The judge gave an instruction which the jury read read to them a second time, at their request, so I think they had a clear idea of what they were being asked to do.
