    Yep! Until he runs out of strikes. The jury pool in New York City is practically all left wingers who hate his guts. So once his strikes are used up, he'll end up with the same quality jurors that they dismissed. Thank God we have a judge who can see their impartiality by looking into their eyes.

    That is so completely ridiculous as to be idiotic. In fact there are at least three a biases prosecutor who ran on getting Trump a biased judge whose family is full of trump haters, and poisoned jury pool are all good reasons for a change of venue.

    There is no requirement for prosecutors to like the people they are prosecuting. When Giuliani ran on going after the mob, did that mean that all mob cases should be switched to another venue? There's a process for reviewing potential bias in a judge. That's already been done. And what poisoned jury pool?

    I don’t need to hang on to anything. Except the star-bangled banner that I’ll be waving when the Orange Cyst is held to account.

    If they report the payment. But that would be contrary to his reasons for paying the hush money.

    It’s illegal, or at least he thought it was. And that’s why he fabricated the phony records, and it became felonies.

    If he hadn’t been a presidential candidate it wouldn’t be felonious.

    1. The judges daughter is profiteering off this trial which is in violation of actual New York law. Judge should recuse himself again but he won’t since he is purchased.
    2. The judge has donated to Joe Biden showing a clear presumption of bias, he should recuse himself but he won’t because he’s purchased to railroad Trump.
    3. Michael Cohen is a convicted liar, he has stated before Trump knew nothing of this hush money, there are rumors he had an affair with Daniels and his lawyer has pictures all over social media with Tish James, Alvin Bragg and Kamala Harris. He has zero credibility, if this was an actual court of law and not a kangaroo court for Democrat clowns. Not to mention this called a conflict of interest.
    4. Stormy Daniels signed an affidavit stating there was no affair and no hush money, so is she lying now or was she lying then? Her character is completely tainted.
    5. Falsifying business records is a misdemeanor, in order to make it a felony, Bragg must allege these misdemeanors were committed in furtherance of a more serious crime. He has yet to state the crime.
    6. Bragg has dropped 52% of NY felonies to misdemeanors last year alone. The only case whose charges he enhanced were in the Trump case.
    7. Alvin Bragg himself declined to prosecute this case until the Biden administration met with him and saddled him with Michael Colangelo. Hello, conflict of interest and election interference.
    8. The federal elections commission declined to prosecute this case.
    9. Cy Vance, former DA, Trump hater declined to prosecute this case.
    Nothing about this 6 year old business records misdemeanors case is legitimate. It’s all done to get Trump and democrats are willing to light our whole system of jurisprudence on fire because they cannot beat President Trump any other way.

    You Trumpers just can’t get it into your noggins that being a presidential candidate renders the payoffs a campaign contribution which must be reported.

    Why is that important here? Do some reading, my partisan chums.

    It's a fixed trial and everyone knows it.

    Trump’s Brilliant Prosecution Juxtaposition Campaign. “Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg and Judge Juan Merchan conspire to keep the presidential frontrunner locked up in a dingy courtroom during the day, but he is free to roam after court hours. An irrepressible and brilliant marketer, Trump seizes on those hours to communicate. And he is off to a pitch-perfect start.”

    A REAL President of We The People.

    'In its will to power, the American left is nakedly kangaroo-courting Trump into silence — or at least, it's trying. But like it or not, Trump is an unabashed American hero, and he will not be silenced. Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg and Judge Juan Merchan conspire to keep the presidential frontrunner locked up in a dingy courtroom during the day, but he is free to roam after court hours. An irrepressible and brilliant marketer, Trump seizes on those hours to communicate. And he is off to a pitch-perfect start.'

    'In his zeal to Get Trump!, DA Bragg has spun a thrice-discarded misdemeanor accusation into 34 — count ‘em — felony charges. Concurrently, he has spent little or no time removing the actual dangerous criminals from the street. Once the NYPD arrests criminals, Bragg's office releases them back into society to continue preying on innocent civilians.'

    'The contrast between what New York — and, by extension, any blue-ruled city as well as the Biden administration — is doing and what it should be doing is a glaring weakness for the Democrat party. Americans long for the return of the rule of law.'

    That is, indeed, the pathetic excuse we are given from those unwilling or unable to discuss the case and who base their position entirely on emotional Trump worship. Back here in reality, however . . .

    “And everyone knows it..” is shorthand for “this is absolutely made up.”

    Trump doesn't deny paying Stormy. He admits it. Join us back here in reality any time you'd like.

    Exactly as planned and also pointed out by the Senate investigation…. FARA violation at the least. Proceeds from any deals delayed until Joe got out of office….

    I'm sorry . . . I can't tell if you are being serious or you are just trying to make Trump supporters look like idiots. Paying back a loan isn't illegal. No one denied that the loan was given and that the loan was paid back. Only idiots pretended that there was something bad about that. Back to the topic, should you muster the courage . . .

    Michael Cohen must've made the payment to benefit himself! He wanted to keep news of his affair with Stormy Daniels quiet so that it wouldn't disrupt his own campaign for president! And then he duped poor innocent Trump into disguising it as attorney fees! You can hear him on tape with totally innocent Donald tricking him!

    I'm with you but have a minor correction. Stuff that would generally be considered personal expense but are done to further a campaign can be paid out of campaign funds. If you buy pizza for friends just visiting that is pure personal expense. However, if you give everyone at a campaign rally a slice of pizza that can come out of campaign funds. If you pay someone for a NDA because the exposure would affect your candidacy, that can come out of the campaign funds.. If you get a haircut that is normally a pure personal expense, but if the haircut is specifically to prepare for a TV campaign appearance it can come out of the campaign.

    If you use personal funds for a campaign expense, you have to report that. That's the issue here. If I want to buy a bunch of campaign merch, I don't get to just use my personal account to do that and then fail to report the campaign expense. The source of the account isn't the issue.
