I think judge Jeanine Piro nailed it.....it’s all going to come down to jury instructions from the judge.....and we all know what that means.
If he was protecting Trump why didn't he tell Trump he was taping the conversation. Doesn't make any sense.
I haven’t been following the nitty gritty details, but how does lying about business records cover up a conspiracy in the election? Now I understand when they ask the question “what is the crime?”
Is the jury instruction given private or in the open courtroom with the prosecution and defense present?
It’s called ‘Plausible Deniability’...............
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plausible_deniability
Let us assume for the sake of argument that all of what these things were absolutely true (although its doubtful they are):
Trump still was not guilty of even second degree falsification of books. The payments to Cohen were indeed legal expenses and thus the entries were factually true. Nor was anybody defrauded by the entries, since the election was over when the entries were made.
Should one care to argue he should have entered as "reimbursing black mail payment" as being more precise than "legal fees" then by that absurd standard Alvin Bragg's charges are breaking the same law since they do not reveal his motivation to interfere in the current election.
If I understand the argument Bragg is claiming it should have been listed as a campaign expense. Which is illegal. You can not even buy a suit and put as campaign expense.
If the members of the jury decide to “believe” the charges are true, then he can be convicted without any evidence. I only served on one jury and I and one other man prevented that verdict. He was an elderly black man who kept repeating, “But there was no evidence.” I stopped the others from bullying him. We ended with a mistrial, hopelessly deadlocked.
In this day and age, ‘feelings’ is all that counts. Facts and evidence be damned...................
It’s obvious Cohen was paying off Stormy for his own sex with her. Why else would he hide the home loan from his wife?
Everything I’ve seen tells me that Cohen and Stormy
were made for each other. Two sleazy peas in a pod.

Enough with the legal stuff, just let us find him guilty already.
- The Jury
Does Jeanine still show up with a hangover?
You know I’m not sure but like everything else in this BS so called “trial” whichever it is, I can assure it’ll be to the prosections advantage.
So listen up, Muchachos and Mujeres.... You have to go in the room and find Trump guilty, Si?
No, no guilty, comprende?
We don't want someting bad to happen to you, si?
One thing for sure, he will never allow for a hung jury ....considering they’ve made up everything as they go so far to be in favor of the prosecution, in that scenario he’ll just bypass the jury and enter a guilty verdict himself......as a matter of fact, I’m surprised he didn’t set it up that way from the beginning.
I’ll never understand why they never really amped up the more salacious career facts about stormy beyond just 150 or 200 porn movies

I don’t believe they showed the Bill Maher tape interview back in 2018 where she laughs off the affair, she wasn’t a victim, wasn’t a mee too, he didn’t block her from leaving it was consensual,etc.
That would have been the nail in her coffin. How could his attorneys not have uncovered that interview. I’m not sure if defense can now recall her to the stand based on that tape. Does anyone know if they can?
