Hmmm. I followed the trial and am still waiting to hear what the crime is and what the evidence is.

[RoosterRedux]

Well, we can’t exactly expect the prosecution to admit that their case is weak.

[ClearCase_guy]

I still don’t see an underlying crime. Trump wanted to minimize bad press. That’s not illegal.

[Sacajaweau]

it’s all on the books....the crime would be if it wasn’t on the books. Any anyone with an ounce of brain know this was Cohen’s scheme to deceive Trump.

[TexasFreeper2009]

I still haven’t heard what the payment “should” have been classified as if it wasn’t a “legal expense”

[dforest]

I don’t think the case or any “evidence” matters in this fiasco.

The verdict was decided at the beginning and the trial was just a show to take up time and an attempt to justify the preplanned verdict.

[Red Badger]

The crime is he beat Hillary Clinton like an old rug.....................

[OrioleFan]

This scheme, cooked up by these men … could very well be what got President Trump elected

Sounds like they think the crime was to deny Hillary her destiny.

“Consider your verdict,” he said to the jury in a low, trembling voice.

“No, no!” said the queen. “Sentence first—verdict afterward.”

“Stuff and nonsense!” said Alice loudly.

“I’m not suggesting [Daniels] wasn’t looking to get paid, but that is a different thing from … extortion.”

No, that’s extortion.

By weaponizing the law and the government, every progressive has forfeited their rights to life, liberty nd happiness.

Weaponizing the law and government is in effect war on the very essence of the American Republic

Tyrants must not be allowed to be

Not looking forward to the day the leftists get their perp walk of Trump. I’m certain the MSM will have their cameras perfectly set up for the event.

[xzins]

here is no real crime here: no one has been killed, assaulted, robbed, or stolen from.

So Trump’s crime, whatever it is, is in the area of perception. It isn’t anything physical or countable; it’s in the minds of the emotionally upset. Trump did something that upsets people.

He upset them so badly they want him in jail for 150 years over it. But no one lost money or had a single scratch or scar.

Even we are looking for one of those emotional upset laws, but the bottom line in that no one is injured in a real way. No one anyplace.

There should be no camera wielders alive to witness the debacle of a dead America
