Can’t wait for what Turley has to say since he is in the courtroom as an observer.

Yes, I heard that. Trump should call Turley or even better, Dershowitz as expert witness. Will judge deny because they might confuse the jurors?

Where are the charges for this? Did they ask Cohen to repay it?

Hell this judge is strictly limiting the defenses expert witness on election law even though he is considered the very best in that area of law.

I really don’t know detail because I am only reading sidebars on Fox News. He did however admit on oath today that he did steal the money.

You think there are undercover spooks on the jury?

Cohen admits he did not “specifically” tell Trump about the consulting work he was doing in 2017. ( quotation marks mine)

Checked out the thread on 60 K.and an interesting tidbit showed up. Defense wanted to submit email from Cohen former attorney ( Costello????) and judge did not permit evidence to be shown to jury.

Hung jury would mean a mistrial — it would be a huge win for Trump, probably the best outcome (short of acquittal, not gonna happen with a Manhattan jury), and the chances of a retrial before the elections nil.

Another possibility is misdemeanor conviction — not felonious. Hardline anti-Trumpers not likely to go along. I’m betting it’s a hung jury.

What would be misdemeanor? All they really want is a guilty charge.

That’s what should happen, but not with this crooked judge.

Since he is charged with a felony, how can they instead convict him of a misdemeanor?
