Yeah, I kinda had mixed metaphors or something there. An OJ Jury is one that doesn’t look at the evidence whatsoever.

Contracts are not binding to the point where they cause one to violate the law. She’s required to tell the truth, all of it, whatever it may be.

“Stalinist Russia is the model for the DNC.”

Yes, except reduced for “efficiency”.
Lavrenti Beria: “Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime”. The Dems: “Show me the man.”

Judge is permitting detail from sexual encounters to be discussed.

Did she really ask if the judge was going to gag her?

Tawdry details, prejudicing the jury. That’s the purpose here.

Cohen spoke up and told the judge he would recommend it.
Said Stormy was ‘a screamer’.

ooopsss...

This is a shameful display by the court.

Yup, but none of this has. Compared to Stormy, it’s Trump who comes off as the sympathetic victim in all this.

As a county court, they do not have jurisdiction to charge former President Trump with violating the Federal Election Campaign Act.

What they are trying to do is connect Trump to Cohen’s guilty plea of violating the Federal law based on his making the $130,000 payment, then convince the jury that it can be used as the underlying crime without Trump actually being convicted of the crime.

In looking at the Federal law, it appears that Trump had to reimburse Cohen or he would have been in violation of the law for accepting a prohibited campaign contribution.
