"I don't write drawings."
OK, so TSF claims that the birthday "card" that was sent to Jeffrey Epstein, allegedly with his drawing and signature is a fraud; he didn't create it and endorse it.
OK. Michael Cohen, former Executive VP and Chief Counsel for The Trump Organization, claims that for a change, TSF isn't lying. He never saw him "doodle" at any time.
OK. What if both TSF and Cohen are technically correct that TSF didn't create the birthday greeting. What if TSF told a secretary to draw something, type up a message, and he'd sign it.
In a court of law, upon questioning under oath, if you either admitted it or another witness with personal knowledge testified the s/he saw what happened, and/or did the task requested. That you directed someone to do something, and it was done. You're still responsible because you told her/him to do something and you accepted the results -- and in this case, you forwarded it. (IOW, you didn't destroy it; you didn't keep it.)
Taking this further, if comparison of the drawing on the Epstein birthday drawing/message resembles other drawings that were auctioned off for thousands of dollars to charities, but TSF just didn't draw them himself, that's fraud.

* This is a very ‘Shakespearean’ phrase, however, it is not from Shakespeare. It comes from an early nineteenth-century Scottish author, Sir Walter Scott, best best-selling writer of novels, plays, and poems.
