The jury has a right to know the consequences of their decision. This could spin the US into a Constitutional Crisis we haven’t seen since the Civil War.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You are absolutely RIGHT!!! Constitutional CRISIS!

I thought the election of a president is a federal election, not a state election. Federal elections should abide by federal laws, not state laws.

I don’t think he’d dare and if he tried, I think an appeals court would step in on that.

Thanks for that.

Biden is such a disaster that he is unelectable in a fair election and the bookies know it.

All elections are state elections. The difference is that it's a state election for a federal office, where the United States Constitution sets the eligibility for the office.

In fact, technically Trump is not even running; the election is for Electors to the Electoral College.

Please try to prove that, citing the Constitution.

You can't.

Who elects the President? 538 voters.
Who chooses the voters? 50 State Legislatures (Congress chooses 3).
When do they vote? Second Monday in December.
Where does the Constitution mention "running for President", "presidential elections", "voting for President", "primaries", "political parties", or "conventions"? Nowhere.

What elections can Congress make rules for? Representatives, and Senators since 1917.
Where does the Constitution permit ANY intervention by the National Government over the States' power to appoint Electors? Nowhere.

😡From Fox reports, the Prosecution is being given free reign and unlimited latitude for the scope of their closing arguments.

They’re defending Cohen and getting away with accusing our RPOTUS of “stiffing people.”

Imagine the jury having to listen/absorb four more hours of this relentless character assassination!!! AND IT PAINS ME TO EVER USE THAT UNTHINKABLE/UNSPEAKABLE WORD IN ANY REFERENCE TO OUR GREAT RPOTUS😢😢

Fox just said that the reprehensible jackals in the overflow room are LAUGHING at the digs against our dear RPOTUS😢😢😡

just how fast COULD Bragg re-file this “case” if the jury becomes deadlocked and ultimately has a mis trial declared? How soon to seat a new jury and etc etc? Assume some of the process would become expedited and go faster but how slowly COULD it go if Trump’s defense demands full use of time allowed at every juncture? Before the Fall election?

It would be a brand new trial, with brand new pre-trial motions. There is no way that Bragg could get a new jury seated before the election. Nothing carries forward to a retrial except perhaps the judge, unless the defense argues that the judge's behavior showed excessive bias and asks for the judge to recuse or be removed.

WTF? Prosecutor: Pecker and AMI became covert arms of the defendant’s campaign.... Purchasing stories was an illegal campaign contribution. Contracts are legal, but a contract to kill your wife is illegal. The American people have a right to know.

??? No restrictions at all on the prosecutions use of inflammatory and untrue characterizations during their summation?

Yes, the prosecution’s closing is churning my stomach. And the MSM reaction is as bad as could be imagined.

Why not? I guess you have been living under a rock and oblivious to the great harm they are doing...Why shouldn’t they have to look over their shoulder’s the rest of their lives?

I think its about time we all realize that America is no longer America, its Russia plain and simple and it all started in 2008 that was the transformation Obama promised and he delivered it

Underlying law is overt election fraud.... This court has no right to judge this case if it is going to claim this....and to bring it up after defense has rested is frankly unconstitutional.
