Cross-examination of Cohen begins. Should be interesting.

Should also answer the question: "How good of a lawyer is Cohen, anyway?"

A sharp attorney should have no trouble holding up under even rigorous cross-examination.

He’s making all his potential VP candidates come support him at his criminal trial.

Law and order!

Donny is fast asleep at his trial today.

But yeah, Biden is the one who will use performance enhancing drugs before a debate… ;)

Trial is over except for the closing arguments on Tuesday.

Thoughts?

I'd say 2 or more jurors deciding not guilty on all 39 counts, then it probably should have never been brought to trial. If only 1 juror, I'd suspect juror nullification.
No way to know for sure, unless they speak on it eventually.

Of course, whatever the case, it'd take a lot to convince me Trump is actually innocent, just that there wasn't solid evidence to convict him beyond a reasonable doubt OR a Trumpie hanging the jury.

Hard disagree on that one. Even if the jury can find some reasonable doubt, we’ve garnered a lot of new info about Donny and his corruption.

Not to mention: the farting, the sleeping, the embarrassment for Donny. All worth it.

i can't totally disagree, but it's constantly pointed out that the more crap donny has on him, the more support he gets.

I have never bought into that theory.

He won one election. It’s been all downhill since then for him and his party. These red waves never materialize.

Chances of a conviction were 100% until Cohen testified. Now, they're down to 95%

Not that Trump is guilty. This is a Manhattan jury.
