It’s all about airing out as much dirty laundry as possible on Trump.

For the jurors, Trump will have to prove he’s innocent. The prosecution doesn’t have to prove he’s guilty. He’s already guilty in their minds.

Banana republic show trial.

I think the judge will take up the option to make the decision and declare Trump guilty...because he's pretty sure the jury will be hung at the least or acquit Trump...period.

I think he has that option.

It’s like a game show. Every day people tune in to see if they will reveal the Secret Crime that Trump supposedly concealed with a bookkeeping entry.

Just like with Mueller, they just wanted Trump to answer questions and get the interview (interrogation). Then every non-truth is a Felony charge. They ruled it was okay for Biden to lie because they are on his team.

They want Trump to take the stand. Get him mad and he hears the news report of how weak the case is, and he overconfidently takes the stand.

That’s the goal.

The Judge let Jurors on that said they hated Trump, so they were always going to convict him. However, the case was put on in this matter to bait him to take the Stand. Stormy Porno said as much the day after she was dismissed.

She mocked Trump - and said real men take the stand after hours at a NY Bar.

Like Mueller they wanted to trap Trump with lying. He didn’t . With this judge they want him behind bars forever on contempt of the gag order.

Correct me if I’m wrong but

SCOTUS Case on presidential immunity. Trump 1 Biden DOJ 0
Fulton County Fraud Case Trump 1 Biden DOJ 0
Florida Documents Trump 1 Biden DOJ 0
Stormy Daniels Fiasco Trump 1 DOJ 0
Defamation E. J. Carroll Trump 0 Biden DOJ 1

This trial isn’t about finding Trump guilty of anything, it’s just intended to help prevent him from winning the Presidency.

I can’t believe that this case hasn’t been summarily dismissed due to Bragg not specifying the underlying ‘felony’ that was being covered up by the false bookkeeping, thereby extending the statute of limitations on the false bookkeeping charge.

No underlying felony, the statute of limitations sinks Bragg’s case.

RE: I can’t believe that this case hasn’t been summarily dismissed due to Bragg not specifying the underlying ‘felony’

It’s simple — Just look at who the judge is. He isn’t really a judge but a political hack INTENT on seeing to it that Trump is declared guilty to to prevent him from winning the Presidency.

When I found out that the venue will be in Manhattan, I already knew that this judge will be no different from the other judge who fined Trump nearly half a billion dollars in that other victimless “crime” case ( i.e. the so-called real estate value inflation case ). That judge ( Engoron ) decided to ascibe to himself that ability to determine the value of Trump’s property superceding the valuations of the banks who did their own valuation and gave Trump the load ( which he paid on time with interest ).

It’s the same Kangaroo court whose result is already pre-determined. The entire trial is just kabuki theater.

A show-man at a show trial. Something tells me, they’ve thrown Trump into the briar patch. He can out show them.

Who can believe this lying scumbag anyway. He was convicted of lying in court ,under oath before. What a joke this is, Bragg should be disbarred ,for being a moron.

Is the prosecution still presenting their case? When does the defense start presenting its case? I would assume that after the prosecution finishes, there will be a motion to dismiss as there still isn’t any evidence that Trump did anything wrong.

A fly on the jury room wall would hear everything. How many books are they going to publish? Bragg doesn’t have any good witnesses or evidence, but are the jurors smart and/or honest enough to see that?

The media would make money if that happened. Wonder what the betting odds are.

Not the gag order.

Putting him on the stand and laying Perjury Traps.

Sadly, Trump cannot take the stand: it would be a perjury trap.

The process is the punishment, a conviction would be just a bonus.
