Trump’s history-making hush-money trial begins ...(Mod Warning)

Excellent wrap up concerning Pecker's Friday testimony.
Josh Steinglass got what he wanted/needed from Pecker.
Rhona Graff.
Lisa Rubin is one of my favorite legal minds.

 

An extremely adept analyst that always sees the entire picture.

 

Indeed!

Katie Phang is another gem.

 

This trial has been a court proceeding in search of a crime.

 

He's committed plenty of his own, 34 counts in this trial alone.

 

It will be that Trump had made his bed and lie in it.

 

The DOJ rules are that a sitting President cannot be PROSECUTED. They did not determine any crimes for which he was required to report to Barr for further recommendation to Congress for impeachment and removal his excuse making notwithstanding. Were you even around during the Clinton impeachment?

 

Tell me if you get charged with jay-walking do you get charged with each step your take or the one crossing?

 

And Bragg hasn't found it yet.

 

So what crime are they saying is this underlying crime upon which Braggs entire case hinges?

 

Just nothing illegal involving Trump

 

I wouldn't know, I've never been charged with anything.

 

Oh I think you know full well you don't get charged with each step it took you which is the outrageous ploy Bragg is using here charging for each of the payments Cohen made when it wasn't even Trump making them or his arraignment to do so.

 

it's the cover up that gets them

Nothing illegal with Trump committing adultery (well, it is against the law in NY and FL, but he was not charged with that)

 

Well, that's what the trail is about. Until the verdict is in you don't know what tRaitor tRump is guilty of.

 

It's what Bragg is about and an outrageous ploy on his part to do so. The judge should have wrapped them into the one single charge even though the payments were LEGAL.

 

Bragg is about?

You know more about it than the Judge?

Are you a lawyer?

TRaitor tRump has a lifetime of fraudulent dealings in his past. But you’re taking his side over our legal system?

 

in plea deals they often drop all but one, not when go to trial

 

other then audio recording between Trump and Cohen

 

Quote of the day.

“There’s a line that’s older than me how the best way to avoid scandal in Washington is to use your own money and sleep with your own wife,”

Jordan Libowitz:
"Citizens For Responsibility and Ethics in Washington"

 

Looks like Hope's so-called "little white lies" didn't work with the FBI. .

'Ex-Trump aide Hope Hicks expected to testify in former president's New York criminal trial'

'The former White House communications director met with prosecutors from the Manhattan district attorney's office last year.'

snip:

'An attorney for Hicks said in 2019 that she'd been unaware of the hush money payment until it became public.'

snip:

"Hicks told the Democratic-controlled House Judiciary Committee in 2019 that she was not involved with the hush money discussions, and she told the FBI that she did not "to the best of her recollection" become aware of Daniels' allegations until early November 2016.

snip:

"Court records indicate Hicks called Cohen at 7:20 p.m. on Oct. 8, 2016 — the first time she had called him in weeks — and that Trump joined the call seconds later. The conversation lasted four minutes. Hicks and Cohen spoke privately after Trump left the call and, after that, Cohen phoned Pecker, the president of AMI, according to court records."

More Hick's communication.

What about it?

 

When they charge they charge for the one offense not every step you take across street when you jaywalk. You really fell for his little ploy didn't you?

 

Obfuscations all you left with?

 

It was no "obfuscation" when I said; "TRaitor tRump has a lifetime of fraudulent dealings in his past. But you’re taking his side over our legal system?"

Nothing obtuse about that. You're not a lawyer, not even a researcher. You make all matter of claims defending tRaitor tRump, yet back up NONE of it.
