So, when will NY go after every businessman, celebrity or rich person who paid to buy privacy by paying off an accuser and charging off the payment as a cost of doing business? There have to be thousands of New Yorkers who have done this? Go get them NY AGs….
The evidence is overwhelming. The problem is, the evidence does not meet the burden of proof that a crime was committed. So the prosecution, with the apparent assistance of the judge, is attempting to convince the jury that they can convict based on the logical inferences that can be drawn from the evidence.
“...still waiting to hear what the crime is and what the evidence is.”
One wonders if that is by design, with a loaded judge that ignores Constitutional laws it is much easier to convict with that ambiguity with a hand-picked biased jury. Appeal to above courts will take years and the crooked prosecution knows this. Who knows, SCOTUS may step in just like they did in Florida when the rats were still counting weeks later and end this mess.

It’s ironic... considering that there are US Congressmen that have ‘paid off’ accusers to ensure their re-election and to keep their phony baloney jobs. And they’ve done it using taxpayers’ money vs. using their own $$$ like Trump did. But these double standards are all we have “left” now, apparently. Our apathy has allowed things to fundamentally transform into the current FUBAR in our justice system.
Overwhelming. Adam Shif used that word a lot.
interesting how the progressive leftist never considered the two way street that lawfare is. “do unto others” will be their complete and utter destruction in the end. karma is a...well, you know.
Has the jury found him guilty yet?
The Stench from the Bench is Overwhelming......................
“Focus on the evidence and the logical inferences that can be drawn from that evidence,”
Is that now the standard for “Beyond a Reasonable doubt”?
They should step in and shut this down.
They are OVERDUE!
IOW, just go with your FEELINGS...........................
Would have been nice if the judge would have insisted the prosecution tell the defense what the crime was before final summation.
"Blackmail/extortion" payment. Although, I don't think the accounting system has an entry for that, and legal is the closest.
It's rarely mentioned that time was a factor... If Stormy and Avenatti had made this play several months earlier, or several months later (after the election), it would have had no value. Trump had to put this off in the heat of the election, whether it was truth or fiction or who gives a damn. The trial should be against Stormy and Avenatti for extortion.
This will be the first time in American history that a president is found guilty of intending to commit something that is not a crime.
