        Yes.

        Crime makes it sound like he did one thing, which might be excusable if there was a mistake or confusion. 34 crimes should make it clear that he is just a criminal who does criminal things.

          Exactly.

          He’s a serial offender and the crimes he is most recently convicted for were so egregious and extensive they had to be partitioned into 34 charges.

        I’ll take the downvotes and agree with you. If it had been a single check instead of a dozen it would be like 3 charges instead of 36. The chargeable counts are sort of arbitrary. It was serval falsified records as part of a single coverup.

        Being pedantic is about making this look maximally bad for trunk to try to cost him votes. The onus is not on you to play that game if you don’t want to.

        But also you could’ve just not taken the bait here and saved us both the downvotes.

        Edit: deleted? You fucking coward. Own your opinions. Just because people don’t like what you have to say doesn’t mean you’re wrong. It’s just fucking downvotes! (intended lightheartedly)

            I upvoted. You can call it a garbage opinion. All I did was agree it was unnecessary pedantic. If you think that’s garbage then fine you’re entitled to that opinion. Fuck you, but you’re entitled to your opinion.

            I might have had some mimosas today.
