Welcome to the Eric Erickson Show podcast, Hour 3.

Hi there, welcome.

It is Eric Erickson here.

The phone number is 87797-937-3425. Should you wish to be on the program, happy to have you. I've got to move into the raw politics phase of this, but before I do, I actually want to go on and take this phone call from Michael. And let me answer this question before we shift gears completely. Michael, welcome to the Eric Erickson show. Hi, how are you doing?

You may have covered this in the first hour. I was listening, but I didn't hear at all. What is the

bill with particulars? It would be my first question. I heard that something about that's when he's

going to present this underlying crime. And my second question is, if you are charging with somebody

with something, especially as serious and as

public as this is, don't you have to charge them with a specific something? And if you don't, did

the Trump lawyers miss a chance to throw this out right away? No, okay, the great questions.

So when you indict someone, you bring up the charges.

So there are 34 charges.

And each of those charges is they're all tied to an underlying crime.

So you've got falsification of documents.

You've got overpayment of taxes. You've got falsification of documents, you've got overpayment of taxes, you've got conspiracy,

and there are all of these other things.

And so these are the charges you'll be found guilty on, but they're all premised on

Trump intending to or having committed an underlying foundational crime from which the charges evolve.

And this is the problem.

Normally a prosecutor-

Don't they have to charge them that right?

I'm sorry.
