I think all the receipts paid to Cohen says....Cohen was a regular attorney on a retainer. I believe that. The fact that he paid $130,000 blackmail money to Stormy is for that alone...surely he got paid for working on that and that’s included in that billing as well as for other work. We need to know what else Cohen did for Trump that year. The fact that they divided it was more likely than not...how Cohen wanted to be paid and he billed accordingly. Nothing to do with Trump.
Dismiss the case ,so Trump can campaign.
Stop wasting his time and our money , you POS .
I’m still trying to get a crime out of this. The fact that everything is on the books...tells me that nothing was hidden. You don’t write “paying blackmail money to Stormy Daniels via Cohen” in your ledger.
Uh, the only problems I see are the judge and jury. Will the judge toss it out? Pretty sure the ‘fair and impartial’ jury is chomping to convict. I really dislike these entities.
Why are they talking about McDougal? She’s not part of the charge is she?
Lawyerly orthodoxy advises to never ask a question to which you don’t know the answer. Bragg’s geniuses did just that with Hope, and numerous times so far.
I watch Shark Tank.
Mr. Wonderful has said he won’t even get out of bed for 130k.
And we are supposed to believe that multi billionaire President Trump personally directed this 130k?
That is not even walking around money for him.
“I’m still trying to get a crime out of this”
Nothing that goes on it that court room matters.....it’s all about what the jury thinks and decides......or has already decided.....don’t forget thst.
I suspect most of them had their minds made up when they received their summons to appear for jury duty.
I hate to be a Debbie downer but if that jury finds Trump not guilty (not proven) regardless of what the evidence proves or doesn’t prove......I’ll be absolutely shocked.
Unfortunately, I don’t see how this matters much. The judge, jury, and DA are all Democrats. Fifty years ago most Democrats were fair. They were often wrong, but they were fair.
Today, most Democrats are insane ideologues. Actual justice is quite low on their agenda.
Bingo. These jurors are probably afraid that anything short of conviction will have repercussions on them when their identities are revealed especially the 2 lawyers
McDougal and the pussy tape are meant to muddy Trump’s image in order to get a conviction. Neither should be allowed and will guarantee any conviction is overturned on appeal, but they don’t care about a reversal because it would occur after the election.
Ds lust to label Trump as “convicted” during the campaign.
No doubt. Then again knowing where they are from and the politics in nyc, they could be elated to be the ones to go down in history for a guilty verdict against OMB.
I thought similarly, initially, but now the charges are being shown to be so blatantly ridiculous and baseless that a conviction might paint the jurors as equally ridiculous stooges.
if you were on this jury, would you want your 12-0 conviction to be tossed on appeal ?...which is a virtual certainty.

Me no but to them it’s part of history and there’s no certainty that this gets overturned pre election.
To me this is a setup for Biden to declare I won’t debate a criminal
This is all just the prelude to the jury standing up as one and screaming: “hang him!” Impartial my left gonad.
I predict a hung jury with at least 1 holdout with a spine and a brain, unless the 2 lawyers on the jury hate Trump, ignore written law, and persuade their lessers.
yes, any appeal would happen well after the election, which is what Ds are counting on.
What is the difference between Trump paying hush money and the Biden campaign/FBI intimidating social media to cover up Hunter’s laptop story? No one is indicting Biden or anyone on his campaign for violating the laws.
