The DA prosecutor went on to argue that case & GA statutory law supported the use of characterizations in indictments.

Another great line from the DA atty Will Wooten was that all indictments include conclusions, that’s what indictments are.
If indictments aren’t allowed to have legal conclusions, then I guess we can’t have indictments anymore.

The case has become known as the “Stormy Daniels hush-money case,” which has made it easier for the public to dismiss, because it seems like small potatoes. In fact, the argument that the prosecutors have made in court filings is focussed on something closer to #ElectionInterference. The case is about #Trump lying his way into office.
