hap0206, As a matter of fact, didja know, I did about eight months with Price Waterhouse then, when considering
whether or not fixing books for a living could be for me. Decided nope, would rather be reading other types.

Back to the Bragg case: Who cares how the payments to Cohen were recorded. Whether ""severance pay", advice from a trusted friend, general legal services, 'scratch my back i'll do yours, or miscellaneous, i don't see why you place any real importance on how they were falsely recorded. Unless it all was recorded for what it actually was it would have been falsifying business records to exert illegal influence on an election outcome. Seems to me.

"So Mr. chief accountant how do you record such payments -- I would have called them "severence pay" for services rendered -- but when the TrumpCompany got the first invoice from Cohen (now apparently a practicing attorney) it was for a "retainer" for legal services -- retainers are for legal services to be rendered -- so the accountant recorded them as a legal expense -- obviously wrong -- they were for employee services already rendered"

At this stage at least, i don't see what you say there affects in any way the crux of the prosecution's case.
