Summary
“As a prosecutor, you either have the facts and the law to bring the case or you don’t. You’re not supposed to go in there and create a novel legal theory. That’s the job of the state legislature,” says Kash Patel.
In this episode, Kash Patel and Jan Jekielek do a deep dive into the 34-count indictment and the 13-page statement of facts released on April 4 after former President Donald Trump was arraigned in the Stormy Daniels “hush money” payment case.
What is the legal basis of the case? Why did Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg issue a speaking indictment? What does Patel think the defense’s strategy should be?

| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody and welcome back to Cash's Corner. Of course this week, we are going to spend the entire show talking about the indictment of the former president, Donald J. Trump. So many facets to dive into. |
| 0:23.6 | And since we are doing this from different locations, John, I thought it would be fun to remind |
| 0:27.0 | everyone, you and I have never used a teleprompter on this show, and we're not going to start today. |
| 0:31.9 | No, absolutely not. And, you know, again, there's so many things to kind of dig into. |
| 0:36.6 | Of course, got the indictment. We've got this statement of facts. We want to break down everything that's in there. Why don't we just start with the indictment? The indictment is this kind of cookie cutter thing with 34 cut and paste. At least that's what it looks like to me. I mean, what's the meat of it? So we're talking about 34 counts. So that means the allegation in the indictment is from |
| 0:58.5 | Alvin Bragg, the district attorney in New York, is that there are 34 separate criminal |
| 1:03.8 | offenses alleged in the indictment. Now, when you read through it, as you said, it reads |
| 1:08.7 | sort of like kind of like a repeat rinse, enter here, |
| 1:12.6 | repeat rinse, enter number here, repeat rinse. |
| 1:16.1 | And in most types of fraud cases or what we call paper cases as a prosecutor because you're |
| 1:21.5 | relying on the evidence of receipts and ledgers and checks and things like that, you would see documentation that |
| 1:31.4 | shows the fraud. |
| 1:33.4 | The problem here, and we haven't seen the underlying documents, but the problem with the |
| 1:37.5 | indictment as it's laid out is what Alvin Bragg is alleging, and we'll get into |
| 1:42.8 | why he has to allege an actual crime to connect |
| 1:47.3 | the 34 counts of fraud to, to make it an actual crime, which I don't believe he met the threshold. |
| 1:54.5 | But he's saying every time that there was a check or what we call a ledger, a payout of money from one entity to another, |
| 2:03.6 | Alvin Bragg is alleging that that is illegal because it was done with the intent to commit a conspiracy by Donald J. Trump to defraud and rig the 2016 presidential election. |
| 2:18.3 | So, I mean, I'll just read from the indictment. |
| 2:20.9 | It's falsifying business records in the first degree with the intent to defraud and commit |
| 2:27.0 | another crime and aid and conceal the commission thereof. |
| 2:30.5 | But the crime at this point is a mystery. |
