I understand the burglary concept they use, if you enter a business with the intent to shoplift, you commit the crime of burglary, even if you don’t shoplift.

I think you left out an important part of this concept.

It's not just "entering a business," it is entering a business after it has closed for the day. If you enter a business during normal business hours with the intent to shoplift, but then don't shoplift, you didn't commit burglary as you were lawfully inside the business "window shopping," perhaps just comparing prices against competitors.

Relating this back to your analogy, Trump "completing the act" was conducting normal business using normal business practices.

lol...

Jason Miller, Trump Campaign Senior Advisor, speaking to reporters outside, in NYC, just said that the best Biden
can do is to hire De Niro, a “washed-up actor.”

A “retread like Robert De Niro.”

Trump is the “Real Rain” that will wash all the scum off the streets.

Not yet. I'm not sure what he's waiting for. I think he has several options here:

  1. He's waiting to hear the closing arguments.
  2. He's waiting for the jury to return a verdict.
If it's #1, the judge could rule to dismiss if the arguments are persuasive.

If it's #2, the judge could set aside a guilty verdict if he thinks that no reasonable person would have come to that conclusion based on the evidence that was presented by the prosecution.

In the case of #2, the judge would be hoping that the jury would do his job for him and acquit. That would wipe away all of Merchan's biased decisions against Trump. If the jury votes to convict, Merchan could set it aside and save the appellate court from overturning him.

I think the likely outcome of a jury conviction would be for Merchan to deny the motion to dismiss and accept the jury's verdict. Nothing so far has shown me that Merchan is willing to let Trump go free, especially after all the name-calling that Trump has done throughout the trial. Merchan will have a giant chip on his shoulder.

Thanks. Now that you presented it. I believe the judge will wait till both sides have given closing arguments before ruling on direct verdict. Heard defense will go late today. Heard may be 6 o’clock and wrap up tomorrow morning.

I have zero confidence in judge, jury, da, process, instructions, etc.

President Trump should have his appeal ready as we speak.

This corrupt court will convict him.

“Biden, by comparison has the less than dozen attendees in New Hampshire and repeated embarrassing addresses, like at West Point.”

True, however in 2020 Biden had no one at his events and was installed anyway. I am optimistic however, that Divine Providence is on our side.

Anything else will be a complete surprise.

I'm surprised he doesn't have Baldwin there with him.

Baldwin has his own set of problems. He goes on trial in Santa Fe in July for shooting the "Rust" movie cinematographer.

“The two lawyers on the jury or Democrat lawyers. They have neither morals nor ethics.”

This. Most likely, because they are democrats from NYC, the two are rabid supporters of baby-killing-in-the-womb. This almost certainly causes them to not care about morals, ethics, or anything else when it comes to trying to keep President Trump from a second term, since he is (for the most part) pro-life. Making sure the “right” for this satanic practice to continue is one of the democrats’ key planks, i.e., policy must-haves. It is almost certain that these two lawyers are most willing to cooperate in the left’s efforts to stop Trump; I repeat, they are NYC democrats.

Yes very good news on the Jack Smith case. The judge also made a comment about Smiths request to undermine Trumps constitutional rights.
