You have to be doing a lot of recreational drugs to actually think President Trump has a shot at a fair and unbiased trial in New Yawk. ROTFLMAO. Idiots.

“I thought STRIKES were supposed to be ‘unlimited’ when we were picking our jury? I was then told we only had 10...”

I am not sure about unlimited, but a defense should have far more than ten strikes.

We only NEED ONE of those jurors with the balls to have lied on the jury questionnaire to get on the jury and throw a fork in the whole damn mess!! I am PRAYING everyday that God places just ONE person with courage on this jury!!

The main reason why, she said, is because of how she believed he handled the COVID-19 pandemic response.

If he had resisted the path he took, the Media and their Democrats would have pinned EVERY death on him - and they would have made sure there were A LOT.

It was a brilliant trap.

The criminal is Joe.. This Trump hunt and destroy angers me. That the republicans in congress let the dems do this to Trump, and let them run the government by communistic control.. You in Washington.. Control is not yours.

Under Federal campaign law, if that money arguably could have another purpose, such as protecting a company’s brand or protecting the family, then it’s not campaign money.

The current DOJ under this regime has so weaponized and politicized the Department of Justice that DOJ will arrest political opponents for crossing the street.

Even they wouldn’t take this case.

Yes!!

But I’m afraid all the jurors will be told that under no circumstances should they not vote Guilty....or else.
These evil people are playing for keeps.

But, as you say, one will be brave enough to do the right thing.

He’s pleaded not guilty to the charges, which are felonies

I know Seek bolded this part without comment, but the author lost me right here.

The charges were not felonies, they were misdemeanors that were converted into felonies via dubious means. Bragg still hasn't told anybody what the federal violation was that justifies his reviving dead misdemeanor charges.

I will vote for Trump regardless.

If he’s a felon from this insane clown sideshow sham trial, I will vote for a felon.

If they take his name off the ballot I will write it in.

From what little I’ve seen, strikes without a reason are limited, but that might be according to the type or location of the case.

Thar will depend on the jury instructions. If the judge allows the question whether Trump had another purpose for paying the money - and Trump demonstrates that he did, the jury should acquit. If the judge doesn’t allow it, and he loses the case, it may be grounds to appeal. And if I recall correctly, the money was used to purchase the story rights from the woman - to prevent her from telling it her way to media companies and giving him control over how the story is told. If true he could in theory sell the story to a made for stream movie thus proving the payment was an investment not a campaign matter.

I thought I read somewhere just recently that there was an email by her denying there even was an affair...

Something between her and Cohen.

Seems like that would be a mighty big wrench in the gears...

“Do you have opinions about the ability for a former sitting president to be tried in a court of law?“

The problem here is that we are talking about a Court of Law, we are talking about the dismissal and destruction of Law.

I mean, jurors had to complete a 42 page questionnaire. If Trump’s lawyers are worth their weight in salt, they should have easily been able to pick the right ones to serve on the jury.
