A great overview of the Alvin Bragg case.

Doesn’t need too. That jury pool likely decided Trump was guilty of “something” before the trial even started.

I doubt a unanimous not guilty verdict is in the cards. The legal argument is compelling, but like they say in NYC, “ain’t nobody got no time for dat.”

Trump needs to sue Bragg’s water buffalo azz.
The boy abused the justice system to try to lynch a whitey.

If Trump is convicted in this travesty of justice, lacking any evidence of his guilt, then it meets the full definition of a Stalin show trial.

Cohen isn’t a good liar. You can pick them out. He’s a sleeze and needs this notoriety to write articles. Cohen will sell his soul to the highest bidder. He could care less. And why don’t we see anyone....anyone...say he’s a great guy.

It is, but we all know that Merchan will only allow the jurors the ability to see things which appear to make Trump look guilty. In their minds, he will be, as Merchan will direct this verdict.

Sure it will be overturned on appeal. It will be too late by then. There will be many who won’t vote for Trump because of a conviction. Heck, even the RNC might decide that they can’t allow a convicted felon to be on the ticket.

Nothing would surprise me at this point. I think it’s buck up buttercup time.

I haven't seen a transcript of Cohen's testimony yesterday, but livestream reports I saw did not indicate that his sordid past with the truth was explored. Would the DA let the defense bring this up first? You would think a prosecutor would try to frame it favorably before he gets chewed up on cross.

The fact that Bragg knew that Cohen was a convicted perjurer should be devastating to his case. How can a jury believe anything in this case?

As I understand it, Cohen decided on his own to buy off Daniels.

Trump felt that he had to make his lawyer whole, so yes, the payments to Cohen could be accurately described as fees as far as Trump was concerned. If you want the services of a lawyer, you really do need to pay the lawyer.

For Trump to pay $130,000 is a small matter. To Cohen, an unreimbursed $130,000 would be a big matter.

The crime is extortion...on the part of Stormy...and Michael.

If Michael thought he was going to get a single check for a quarter of a mil...the Trump folks said "no way"...you scheming pr***.

Hint: It’s not Alvin Braggs case to manage.

I suspect lawyers do a lot of chit-chat that gets billed as professional service fees.

I have read (here) that this judge will not allow Cohen’s previous history of lying, perjury, etc be introduced to THIS trial. Not sure how accurate that is or if there are any sound reasons of legality for it (doubtful). So while we all outside that courtroom may roll our eyes at Bragg’s case reliance upon a convicted serial perjurer, it will not be discussed here in this trial for the jury to hear. No?

The whole point is to simply air out all of Trump’s dirty laundry. It’s basically a Biden Campaign Ad.

If you have a witness with a problem like this MAYBE you bring it up on direct, but in this case there’s just far too much heavy heavy baggage that Cohen carries

Yes. Yesterday was the first time I actually sat down and watched the running commentary on Fox News. I hope Trump’s defense team eviscerates Cohen on the stand. He has NO credibility whatsoever. It would be fun to be sitting in the courtroom.
