While the Trump—Pecker—Cohen story trapping scheme isn’t the crime behind this case, it’s the crime behind that crime. Showing that this was a conspiracy to protect Trump’s campaign, and not just keep Melania from being angrier in her far away bedroom, is what makes all those falsifying documents charges into felonies.
Establishing that conspiracy is as important as showing that Trump knew what he was buying when he sent the checks to Cohen.
