Deliberations resume this morning, after Merchan rereads instructions back to the jurors. Thoughts?

If the juror who is going against the current is a female, she won’t give in! You know how women are stubborn as heck! If they don’t reach a verdict today, I can guarantee you the crooked corrupt Colombian immigrant judge will replace the juror in a heartbeat. But ( God willing ) if it’s three against 9 then the corrupt judge has a very HUGE problem! Hung jury?

Merchan only told the jurors that they could not infer guilt on the defendant’s part from Cohen’s conviction on campaign finance violations. Merchan barred Brad Smith from testifying.

That’s an excellent observation. He may not blame them, but I’m sure the MSM will say something how the jury was too stupid to memorize and comprehend all 53 pages of confusingly and overly complex jury instructions.

you need not be unanimous as to what those unlawful means were.

What about the presumption of innocence? The jurors are to simply presume that Trump is guilty of those "unlawful means?"

What corporation are they saying spent more than $2700 on campaign contributions? Pecker said that he made his decisions based upon what was good for his own company, as much as for any good it would do any candidate.

This is all so much bullcrap it’s infuriating.

In Accounting those kinds of nit-picking are known as “Picking the fly shit out of the pepper”.

That is great one.

You’re referring to the guy prosecuted criminally over a common benefit’s taxability dispute? Where normally if it is determined to be a taxable benefit, they charge the taxes and interest, and move on - but here prosecuted and sent him to prison?

Gut tells me it’s Door No. 2.
More than one holdout at this point, or he’d replace the juror. And one of the holdouts is definitely a woman, thank God.

You’re so welcome.

Happy to make a contribution.

Thinking whether not having President Trump testify in his own defense was a mistake.

Our favorite POTUS is incomparable in explaining things and persuading people?!

If your assumptions are correct, then the Lord is definitely intervening!

Definitely a woman? Based on a report or opinion?

There was a subsequent request to add more and he approved it.

Add "more" what?

Are you sure you didn’t defraud yourself?

Well, also without noting that Trump has no limits on what he can contribute to his own campaign.

I’ve never had an NDA expense ...

FTR, neither have I! But appraisals, charged estimates, tax prep, court fees (as in filing fees in small claims), etc. are what I meant.
