What Steinglass Said (Vanity)

Did anyone else notice Trump prosecutor Steinglass actually said on close, "this case could not have been closer"?

Isn't that the very definition of not meeting beyond a reasonable doubt, the standard for a criminal case? (I have a screen cap but stink at posting those.)

To me it sounds like the prosecutor already knows the verdict.

He said, “The RACE could not have been closer,” meaning the election. So that is why he claims President Trump was so worried about the story breaking.

That’s not what I saw. Will ask a friend to help me post the screen capture.

People at the trial have said half the jury pool look done with the prosecution. If we get acquittal, it’s going to be unreal. I think the prosecution wants a hung jury, since they’ll be able to keep him in court until the election.

And even if Steinglass meant the election, that’s NOT what he said. Did I photoshop the image? Heck, I had to call in help to just post it.

Maybe a slip of the tongue, but again he said, “the CASE could not have been closer.”

Or is Fox News lying?

Also, does not matter. Just putting the very idea of “could not have been closer” into the jury’s mind is something a prosecutor worth their salt should never have done.

(a) Thanks for providing a link.

(b) Sorry, I trust Fox over ABC.

That thoroughly depends on the point he was making.

I also trust Fox over ABC. Do you have a link to a Fox quote in context. Nothing in your screen shot indicated it is from Fox.

OK, gotta admit your and ABC’s interpretation might be correct. But still a blunder. Why use “race” when he could have used “election,” a word not easily confused with “case”?

Well I stink at taking pictures of my TV screen using my mobile phone, let alone posting/sharing them. Why I’m not a professional photographer — and had to call in a friend.

But that was Fox. Pretty much all I watch for news. (Gotta admit CNN is getting better.) Look at the pic — those are Fox colors.

And don’t have context. Just looking at the stuff Fox pops up on the right side of their broadcast.

I’ve had Fox on all day and missed that. Race is a fine word to use, but easily misunderstood and grabbed as a screen shot if one ignores the context.

My predictions on the “judge’s” jury instructions: “Convict Donald Trump or I will hold you in contempt.” /not completely sarc

What I love about Free Republic: Facts and links provided. No cussing. No personal attacks. Looking at it more, you are probably correct.

Do you think Biden could sit through this(more than 9 hours already)...no way. I think it is disgusting that 4.5 hours of the prosecution is allowed. It's just plain wrong.

And I think the prosecution is as deceitful as Cohen.

Agree -- no way Biden could!

Yes, disgusting.

Very wrong.

And I think the prosecution is as deceitful as Cohen.

Not sure it is possible to be as deceitful as Cohen, but they're sure trying.

Nah. I’m not kind. I’m actually a right (a word on won’t use here — cussing is frowned upon).

I just acknowledge well-made sourced cogent points. Also acknowledge sometimes I may be wrong.
