And the GOP crickets gives the Democrats the green light to do with Trump whatever the hell they want, since they know there won’t be a United pushback from a real opposition party.

Pathological liar Michael Cohen appears “visibly nervous” from the witness stand. pic.twitter.com/pJ53c9KYrf— 🇺🇸ProudArmyBrat (@leslibless) May 13, 2024

JUST IN: Michael Cohen has just implicated himself, and not Donald Trump, during his latest line of questioning. While being questioned about his communication with National Enquirer boss David Pecker he says “depending on the conversation we figured it’d be best to remain confidential.”

This is why Cohen and Pecker used the app “signal.” They apparently decided this themselves and Trump had nothing to do with that. It’s obvious Cohen made a lot of decision on his own and now wants to blame Trump.

Will he be prosecuted after this? Not likely, given the fact that he signed an agreement with the prosecution.

Cohen recorded conversation with Trump without his knowledge and the court is going to allow the tape to be played.

Ditto.

Would be great if Sen Mike Lee attended these sham shows.

This tape had nothing to do with book keeping.

Yes, direct verdict. Turley said he should but infered he wouldnt.

Directed verdict? How about no verdict, a dismissal based on the prosecution failing to meet the burden of proof of guilt?

Remember, the defense has only so far cross-examined prosecution witnesses. Trump has not yet had his turn to put on a defense. There should be at least another week or two of defense calling witnesses and the prosecution cross-examining before we get to closing arguments, jury instructions, and a verdict.

If Bragg failed to meet the burden of proof tying Trump to falsely reporting records, or if Bragg failed to prove that there was another crime that was furthered by falsified records, then Merchan must dismiss the case without the defendant even having to put up a defense.

This trial is a genuine window into who our true allies are and who is part of the swamp. Our supposed friends in the “conservative” movement are being weighed and measured — too many are found wanting.
