Again, as I said before, the lawyer, who now that I think about it was Andrew McCabe, former FBI Deputy Director stated that states normally pile up counts on indictments because they use each document issue as a separate count, while the feds will often group them together for 1 or 2 counts. A clear example of this is Michael Cohen from the SDNY fed case. He did not get hit with a 34 count indictment. He got hit with a 8 count. It makes sense and now that I think about it, I heard something similar before.
Steve Bannon's fed case, the one Trump pardoned him for one count for conspiracy to commit wire fraud, one count for conspiracy to commit money laundering. The same exact state case that he got indicted for last year had him for two counts of money laundering, two counts of conspiracy, and one count of fraud, plus one count of conspiracy that was a misdemeanor. 2 counts vs 6 counts.
So the idea that 34 counts automatically means Trump did some wild off the wall shyt to get 34 is not fully accurate. It's just how the state counts it up. If it was an SDNY case, he probably only would have been looking at a few counts.
When Trump is indicted by the feds, you're only going to be looking at a few counts. It will be interesting to see if Georgia does the same thing as NY and spread out the counts.
Also, the DA's press conference statement trying to make this sound bigger than it was, was a bit dramatic. He stated that Trump did a scheme to cover up a story and get a story killed so that it didn't hurt him in the 2016 election. Politicians do that all the time and it's not illegal. Trump's problem was simply the dirty money on how he did the payment because he's an idiot.
