And here was an excellent reply to Turley's post:

Savannah
@BasedSavannah

Merchan is giving false instructions to the jury. This has already been settled by SCOTUS. The jury must be unanimous on every decision. Did Merchan actually go to law school?

You have to remember that Merchan, the cartel stooge, is a wetback cur from a third-world cesspool.

Enough money or power flows his way, he'd rule that the sun rises in the West.

It’s about money.

His daughter has raised over $100 Million weeks ago, off her daddy’s case.

It’s probably $120 Million by now.

The appeal doesn’t affect that. And the NY appeals has ruled against Trump about 30 times.

Yes he has his degree from a prestigious Colombian law school, founded & endowed by Pablo Escobar.

Savannah missed a big step in the legal analysis. CCE is a federal statute, so to complete the circle, she should have compared the text of the particular NY statute involved in this case to the federal CCE statute. If they are not substantially similar, then this argument doe not and will not fly

For the life of me I cannot understand why SCOTUS does not intervene and kill this.

Hawaii said it is no longer bound by US law, but by tribal tradition. What was done?

Why would NY be any different?

My guess is that he graduated from the same lawyer factory as Fony Witless. Worthless degree.

Re: "CCE Prosecution"

CCE - Continuing Criminal Enterprise

That standard may not apply in the Trump New York state trial.

(1) - the judicial opinion applies to Federal Law.

(2) - the violations must be undertaken together with five or more other individuals.

(3) - the defendant must have committed multiple criminal acts over an extended period, all connected to the same criminal enterprise.

(4) - the defendant must obtain substantial income or resources from the enterprise.
