They’re still calling this a “hush money” trial.

If Stormy had accused Saint Obama, they would call it blackmail, and Daniels would be the one on trial.

It appears that the prosecutor has thus far failed to flip Trump Organization’s CFO Allen Weisselberg. He’s the one who paid Cohen, and described the payments as a legal expense. Without his testimony, I don’t see how the prosecutor makes his case.

Of course, Judge Merchan and the prosecution are doing everything they can to force him to testify. The Judge is even offering his courtroom for the prosecutor to “probe Weisselberg’s willingness to testify”. It seems the Judge is actually the prosecutor here...

the Trump story is "the ONLY one" that has brought her frame and fortune.

Ironic typo?

I don’t know who the defense can call as witnesses, or what they can say at this point.

The defense wanted to call the former FEC Chairman Bradley Smith to testify about what the FEC considers personal versus campaign expenses, but Merchan won't allow it.

Our side only needs one juror, Bragg needs all 12.

If 11 TDS jurors don't successfully bully the holdout.

Yes, I know and have made that point. The judge wants to do his version of instructing the jury on the law.

Cohan on stand. Interesting thread going on right now about Bragg deleting calls Cohan made. Why isn't this a mistrial.

Thanks. How will the prosecution manage to elicit Cohen’s testimony about President Trump’s racism, sexism and general thuggery?
