re: #236 lawhawk

This know nothing lunatic is going to be found guilty on all counts, and he will complain that he didn’t get to rebut the closing argument, despite the fact that this is how every single criminal case operates. If he wanted to rebut the evidence, he could have testified, but didn’t. That was his legal team’s choice (the right and only correct one, I might add). He had no evidence to rebut the claims by prosecutors, and they summed up their case adequately to show beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump committed these felonies.

Trump knows all of this and is desperate to claim that this was a rigged case and rigged jury, even though he and his legal team got to do voir dire, and excluded jurors unfavorable to Trump.

Trump and the GOP want to undermine the rule of law and the criminal justice process, all while projecting their own intentions to wreck the rule of law and conspiring to go after political enemies on those seeking to hold Trump accountable for his crime spree.

Fox and right wing echo chamber are fully leaning into this, and they have nothing but their own BS to support their claims. It will come as a shock to GOPers as Trump gets found guilty, and that those convictions will be sustained by the appellate courts in NYS. They will rail against NY and claim that it will wreck the state and the nation, with no evidence of same.

Trump engaged in a crime spree, and putting him behind bars would be the bare minimum.

Serious question: are you feeling confident? I’m 100% sure that Trump did this because there’s no freaking way you “gross up” a bill for legal fees. That’s absurd. And Trump paid the money out of his own company and got the NDA. He made multiple comments on Xitter that he thought of it as a reimbursement for the payoff. All of this is just plain as day.

But will a jury convict him for it?
