Terrence is upset and has no more faith in our justice system.

Crazy
understandable
Merchan’s name is now the equivalent of Pontius Pilate. Pilate had Jesus savagely beaten according to the barbaric Roman law, and then washed his hands of the verdict that he turned over to the Jewish people who yelled for the release of Barabbas.
Merchan gave the orders, and the jury did exactly what he urged.
It’s a good thing I’m not God and don’t get to decide who goes to Heaven or Hell.
May God have mercy on me for my disturbing thoughts towards any who were involved in this travesty of justice.
I hope and pray that the left now has woken a sleeping giant number of voters and filled them with a terrible resolve to vote the current bastards out...
I agree.
Will Michael Cohen go to trail for stealing $30,000 from the Trump business?
Rhetorical question....
Very.
That’s right.
Q: Which of the 20 witnesses called by the district attorney (including the porn star) did you think had the weakest case, and which of the two witnesses for the Defense do you think was the stronger? Also President Trump says he would take the stand but then he reversed himself and did not. Could he have not saved himself? These are curious if not important questions.
I never had faith in it, since there were Democrats. There has never been a system where so much black is made to appear white... and the Democrats own this system.
Weakest for me without a doubt was Stephanie Clifford. I don’t believe a single word she said, which for me meant that the sex never happened, so there was no there there.
No sex = no knowledge = extortion on her part.
I didn’t follow the case super closely, so I don’t even know who were the two witnesses for the defense.
I would never suggest that Trump take the stand in a rigged situation like this. Merchan would have allowed the prosecutors to go into crazy wild areas that have nothing to do with this, just as he allowed Clifford to testify. It had nothing to do with the case, in truth. She should never have been a witness, but since she was, she showed herself to be nothing but a two bit whore. That’s all she is.
She sold her body for money, and, like many others working this trial, she sold her soul, too.
You used to not be crazy.
The good Lord could have come down and testified about how Trump did nothing wrong, and it wouldn’t have mattered. Not sure why they had the trial. The decision was a given when the charges were read.
In the earlier case on the real estate fraud. Deutsche Bank testified that were made whole and lost nothing and they still found him guilty.
If I was a businessman in NY I’d be leaving town like yesterday.
That’s giving too much credit to Pontius Pilate. At least Pilate washed his hands to the whole thing. I’d compare him closer to Ciaphas here.

IMHO: The Manhattan DA's objective in the present case before Judge Juan Merchan, has been to take whatever is the result, to the Court of Appeals of New York State - in order for the New York State Court of Appeals Justices to decide the intent of the New York State legislature, re:
The New York statute does not state that there must be a state law violation as the covered-up crime, for elevating a New York State misdemeanor to felony.
The Manhattan DA seeks a decision, that a covered-up federal crime, qualifies for elevating a New York State misdemeanor to felony.

Elevating to a felony, by way of lawfare, was an ambition of Mike Pomerantz:
People vs. Donald Trump by Mike Pomerantz - Amazon.com book review - EXCERPTS:
Mike Pomerantz gathered enough evidence to support the view - held by many of his colleagues on the case, including former Manhattan district attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. - that former president Donald Trump should be indicted for a number of financial crimes. But that indictment never happened. This book explains why [according to its author, Mark Pomerantz].
Pomerantz’s work ultimately led to the indictment of the Trump Organization and Allen Weisselberg, the chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, who pleaded guilty to tax fraud [04/10/2024, sentence: 5 months at Rikers]. But that indictment was merely the prelude to a larger criminal case that Pomerantz urged the Manhattan DA, Alvin Bragg, to bring against Donald Trump.
When the Manhattan DA refused to authorize that prosecution, Mike Pomerantz and his colleague Carey Dunne resigned.
About the author
Mark Pomerantz was born in Brooklyn and received a BA from Harvard College in 1972 and a JD from the University of Michigan Law School in 1975.
He worked as a federal prosecutor in the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York. Pomerantz has also been on the faculty of Columbia Law School and has lectured on criminal procedure and white-collar law at Harvard and Stanford Law Schools.
From February 2021 to February 2022, he worked pro bono as special assistant district attorney in the office of the New York District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. to assist with that office’s criminal investigation into the personal and business finances of former president Donald Trump.
In other words, Mark Pomerantz thinks that he found a window of opportunity for making a mountain out of a mole hill, resulting in elevating "the seriousness of the charges" against Donald Trump.

I remember too.
It is indeed. 34 felony counts over a how a payment was made on an accounting ledger.
Piss off never trumper.
