CNN’s Eisen: Odds of Conviction ‘Upwards of 80%’; Trump Team Hoping One Holdout Juror
Breitbart ^ | 05/27/2024 | Pam Key

Posted on 05/27/2024 10:22:27 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

CNN legal analyst Norm Eisen said Monday on “Newsroom” that former President Donald Trump’s New York defense team hopes one juror will not follow the “evidence and law.”

Eisen said, “In terms of the arguments, battle will be joined around three issues. One: Can the jury believe the critical testimony of Michael Cohen, as it’s corroborated and supported by a mountain of evidence? In a sense, the prosecution’s entire work across 20 days of trial was to corroborate Cohen. Two: Can the jury find that Donald Trump, beyond a reasonable doubt, intentionally made that hush money payment to Stormy Daniels, 2016, in order to influence his federal campaign after Access Hollywood catastrophe, another sex scandal. Issue three: Did Trump participate in covering that up by creating false documents, Jim, including nine checks with his own signature on them.”

Norm Eisen, Czech Communist, Obama White House enforcer.

Also the architect of the Big Steal with Mike Podhorzer.

And as usual, trying to make a mountain out of a molehill.

If CNN is giving it a mere 80%, then hung jury. Probably overruled by judge.

No no. I assure you. Most jurors won't follow the evidence and the law... not even the judge will.

Im hoping guilty with a jail sentence. It’s time to see what we are made of. Trump has already proven himself. Time for a general strike at least to shut this $h!+ show down.

The DNC owns the airwaves with MSDNC, NBDNC, ABDNC etc. They have non-stop coverage of Trump’s supposed guilt. Every “noose” story is about hanging Trump because he is such an evil person. This is a DNC NEW YORK jury! This pseudo-judge is a corrupt Columbian who has brought Columbia to the State of New York! The corrupt DNC DA Bragg campaigned on where we are today. This is making Banana republics look like Constitutional Republics now! It would not surprise me to see this jury convict Donald Trump. You know, to SAVE THE WORLD!!

We'll do exactly what we did when they treated J6ers as foreign terrorist. Exactly what we did when they framed Trump as a Russian traitor. And exactly what we'll do when Trump commits "suicide" in prison. NOTHING!

Hopefully, the defense summation is concise and convincing.

In a criminal case, the judge can’t “overrule” a hung jury by finding Trump guilty. The Judge could order a new trial, deny a new trial, acquit Trump (like a JNOV in a civil case) but cannot find Trump guilty contrary to the hung jury

The judge is a scumbag who stacked the deck against Trump. I don’t know how president Trump can get justice in such a hostile court room. If the judge’s instructions to the jury were reported correctly the jury doesn’t even have to agree that Trump committed a crime. If these corrupt lowlifes throw president Trump in prison the people of this country better stand up for him.

The FBI is butt-deep in the jury process. The will have the jury room bugged, and certainly have informants inside the jury. These informants will identify holdouts for a guilty verdict, push for a guilty verdict in the jury room, and point the holdouts out for outside threats, bribes and influence.

Oh really? This judge isn’t supposed to do a lot of things. Doesn’t stop him.

Jurors will find Trump innocent of an underlying crime, but guilty of the charges just because they can. It won’t make any sense, will get reversed on appeal. It will confirm Trump a martyr.
