No legal expert here, but having your star witness (Cohen) admit he stole from Trump on the stand goes a long way in discounting anything he says.

On a general note…. I am surprised more trials don’t end in hung juries. If I was a juror, after hearing the evidence, and then closing arguments, I am pretty sure I’d make a decision. I can’t really imagine ‘jury deliberations’ would change my mind. So unless it’s an easy one (12-0 from the start)…..

Lots of criminals testify honestly and put people away.
Mobsters only deal with mobsters that break the law
Govt gets a mobster to flip
Higher up mobsters go to jail
This happens over and over
Especially in NYC
Are you part of the Trump cult
You don't believe any of the numerous Women that said Trump sexually assaulted them
You don't believe a single woman or Cohen
That's how Trump cultists think regardless of what you say.
Trump cultists don't believe a single woman or Cohen
26 woman and you don't belive a single one
That's cult thinking
Bill Clinton had fewer accusers and I believe them all
Too me its common sense, something cultists lack

Your post is a bizarre interpretation of my post! Where in my post do you find me believing or not believing if Trump actually committed alleged crimes? I’m trying to sift through if the prosecution has done enough to convince the 12 jurors (that were picked by both the defense and prosecution) to convict him. I stand by my comment. You admit you stole from the defendant because you felt he underpaid you, your testimony’s veracity is under question.

I believe Trump’s ‘crime’ is analogous to Clinton’s with Monica Lewinsky. A man trying to cover up an extra marital affair. As I said, it technically is likely a crime, but this prosecution is certainly more driven by politics than Justice.

what service was the $50,000 owed for?


CNBC conducted a poll naming the most famous businessmen of the past century. Trump's name was at the bottom of the list, so he hired Redfinch to improve his standing and get him in the top ten, using an algorithm through IP addresses.

Cohen pocketed most of the cash payment for their services.

Judges here are supposedly selected randomly for cases, but this dirtbag Marchan was somehow 'randomly' picked to preside over two Trump trials, Trumps former finance chief's trial, and a Steve Bannon trial.

Too bad Costello didn't raise his eyebrows again. Marchan would have struck all of his testimony, which would have been an automatic appeal.

So, I assume the Georgia trial will go on with the other accused even if Trump becomes President and wouldn't be there? And he can't pardon them.

This is assuming they don't get started before the election.

a recent big lie from Trump is that "the FBI was locked and loaded and ready to take me out" - which he stated in an email referring to when they searched his residence at Mar-a-Lago

if so, why is he still walking around - what stopped them__________?

every other sentence from Trump is a lie - he's the most pathetic buffoon that has ever been a big player in politics

Character doesn't matter as much in a democracy as long as you have checks and balances still working. But if they fail it's too late then. Trump has done his best to not honor the checks and balances. We've already seen that and still seeing it.

I’m old enough to remember when MAGAts pretended that Melania and Donny slept in the same bedroom.

What a difference a couple criminal trials makes!
