I believe there is a universal Truth to the process of doing things right (Not that I have any idea what that actually means).

Anyway the thing about a jury is that it's not a secret ballot. They have to deliberate. They will spend hours and days arguing and convincing each other. They will KNOW how all of them will be voting and they'll keep arguing until it's unanimous. It isn't like secret MAGA pedes will sneak into the jury room and nod their heads that Trump is guilty and then snicker to themselves and write NOT GUILTY MAGA 2024 LOLOL on the ballot and he goes free.

If anyone just sits there obstinately crossing his arms and refusing to convict, it'll become obvious right away and they'll have to do the trial over with a new jury, so Trump ends up in court for the rest of the year lol

The most important thing abaout the case and the jurors is that the prosecution is not going to bring this if there isn't crystal clear ironclad evidence of what they're accusing him of. This isn't going to be a Perry Mason "just get him on the stand and hope he makes a mistake" kind of deal. It's going to be, "Here are your company records from the month in question, they show $150,000 paid to Michael Cohen. In the same month, Michael Cohen sent $150,000 to an account owned by Stomy Daniels. This was a bribe, and he was convicted of bribery and sent to jail for 12 months for this act." "Here is an email from Mr Cohen saying..." They're not going to question him or look for a gotcha, they got him and the jury just has to follow the judges instructions: does the evidence indicate that a crime was committed? 34 times. "Did he really know it was a crime?" and "Is bribery really a crime?" are not things the jury will be asked to decide. AG is not bringing a case this big just hoping that they get a sympathetic jury.

yeah what's wild about this and the other criminal cases he's got going is that he's so clearly guilty, even based solely on information that's already public. there's no real defense and that's why his team can't even put one up, outside of "the President should be allowed to do this". there's so much evidence and people have ALREADY gone to jail for doing his bidding. had he made any real effort to cover his tracks at all I wonder if any of this would even be happening.

You've got to wonder how many of these Republican reps are hoping they lose their majority in November. They want to keep their seat, obviously, but it's so much more relaxing when you don't have to actually govern. You can lie and grandstand and vote against saving puppies or whatever and go home for the weekend.

right, plus all the stuff Trump and FOX are doing right now to intimidate jurors is only gonna make things take longer, which for Trump is a real problem. the polls are starting to go the wrong direction for him and his fundraising numbers are in the toilet. the election is 7 months away. he needs to be out there campaigning. the longer the image is out there of Trump as a guy on trial for a crime he is clearly guilty of the worse it's gonna be for him.

Being made to sit in the courtroom means he isn't holding rallies, so his in-person donations are limited to the quarters people throw at him like a neglected water feature. I wonder how much revenue his campaign gets from an average rally - like, what fraction of the D-grade merchandise and ticket sales actually go to getting trungo elected, as opposed to the fraction that goes to his legal defense fund or straight into the pockets of grifters at various levels.

Run away before you drown!
Imagine being such a hated, lovely, divisive person who also happens to be a blatant criminal, and also because they're so well known for being so, you simply can't find people to be a juror in a trial for one of many crimes. So I guess boys will be boys, might as well just let him off easy, he probably learned his lesson this time?

It's almost like he can't lose... and his quote has so far (practically) remained true.

The defense 100% has to lean on ignorance. It has already been proven that the Cohen paid her off and then stretched out the payment over months charged as legal expenses. That is a fact. The only thing the defense can say is that Cohen acted on his own without Trump's knowledge. This is all Cohen's fault, he has already been prosecuted, so we are done here. But as mentioned, the DA wouldn't be going after Trump if they didn't have some hard evidence that he knew this was happening or might have even requested this exact "service." By leaning in on Cohen, even if Trump is found guilty, it means during sentencing they can lean even further in to Cohen being the real villain and Trump's penalty should be little to nothing.

They have occasionally and with enormous drama passed the requisite bills to keep the government running. Even "accomplishing" this bare minimum has cost them one speaker and in short order probably another.

So yeah I think they'd be much happier sitting in the minority complaining about the Democrats than this mess.

quote:

As Donald Trump heads back to a Manhattan courtroom where he is facing 34 felony counts related to allegedly paying off an adult film star before the 2016 presidential election, a new possible criminal investigation into income tax evasion is rearing its head.

At the center of the criminal complaint filed with the Department of Justice (DOJ) by watchdog Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) is a mysterious $50 million loan that has been listed by the former president in his disclosures to the court that may or may not exist.

if there's one thing we know about Trump it's that he leaves piles of evidence and if there's one thing we know about Cohen it's that he's very pissed at Trump
