In the US there is suppose to be a presumption of innocence. Trump's lawyers don't have to prove the records keepers were deceived. The prosecution has to prove that the records were false and the record keepers knew what they entered was false.

And therein lies the "it often holds up in court because hiding evidence and throwing bottom-rung employees under the bus is easy" part that you cropped out of that quote. That changes nothing about how gullible you have to be to believe "I didn't know my employee was spending the money that I gave him for something that overwhelmingly benefited me" in a more colloquial sense.

They were talking about how underwhelming the indictment was. They were hoping for a crime so obvious even I would be unable to put up an argument. What I agree with CNN on is how weak of a case it appears to be.

So CNN is included in saying "everyone knows that's bullshit," as opposed to agreeing with you in believing what Trump claims. "This is going to be hard to prove in court" is very different from "I believe he's innocent."
