You don’t get it, do you? He’s already been found guilty, they packed the jury with Trump haters. Guaranteed. It’s a show trial.

He’s got an investment banker, a corporate lawyer, a civil litigator, and a wealth manager. All people who can separate crap from shinola. In some way they, through their professions, can indentify with how a business operates, books it’s accounting methods, weight of evidence and so forth. For a NY jury, to me it looks like he’s got a fair shake.

I'm expecting the judge to tailor the instructions to the jury so that if they believed Stormy Daniels' fantasies or if they think the NDA caused Trump to win the election in 2016, they should vote to convict.

On "The Journal Editorial Report" today they discussed the trial and Michael Cohen's testimony. Despite saying that Cohen lied, they seemed to think that the most Trump could hope for is a mistrial if one juror refuses to vote to convict.

There are two lawyers on the jury. If they vote to convict just because they don't like Trump even when they realize that the prosecution hasn't proven Trump's guilt, could they in theory be subject to some disciplinary punishment? Of course they could keep their identities secret but the jurors will be probably basking in public notoriety once the trial is over, and a New York State bar association probably won't take any action (even if warranted).
