I couldn’t find a thread just about this case, and thought we should have one since it’s Trump’s first criminal trial. He has to attend every day, as I understand it. Here is a quick reminder of what it’s about. His former lawyer Michael Cohen already went to prison for his involvement in this case.

You are going to be really upset when Trump wins in November.Well i guess for you, once Trump is convicted of the charges, he will become your new " truth speaker" eh?
LOL.
I dont have enough popcorn or time to watch the unravelling of the GOP over the next 6 months. Ill settle for these pretzel sticks and your posts.

I really don't give 2 sheets about Cohen. He's simply a witness in the case. What matters is whether the judge and jury find him credible or not. And the way they know that is whether the facts corroborate his testimony or not.Did Trump make him do this?
Judge says Michael Cohen may have committed perjury, refuses to end his probation early
A federal judge has suggested Michael Cohen has committed perjury under oath, giving fresh support to former President Donald Trump's claims that his onetime personal lawyer and star witness at his upcoming criminal trial in New York is an untrustworthy liar.apnews.com
What about Cohen's tax evasion scheme with the Taxi medallions?
What about Cohen's false statement to the bank involving the taxi medallions?
Neither of those involved Trump and he was found guilty of both.
Yeah it is different. They are both criminals, but Cohen appears to be the bigger liar.
It's laughable how yall decide which criminals to believe.
At least Coldseat admitted that the way to decide which criminal to believe is any criminal who is against Trump.
I hope Cohen rots as I dont think he's any better than Trump. They were 2 peas in a pod and now Cohen gets to squeal and save his own arse. Them's the breaks.
And I don't have to believe anything Cohen says to believe Trump is still screwed in this case. Hopefully he's held accountable, but we'll have to wait and see.

If Trump gets convicted, are you swapping to RFK?

From what I've heard, during the opening arguments, the prosecutor stated (or at least implied), that Allen Weisselberg actually wrote down the whole scheme to open a company, pay Stormy Daniels, then reimburse Cohen through multiple payments, doubling the amount so that they could call it income, and Cohen would end up with the full amount after taxes.
If they have those note's, that a pretty serious receipt.

He's not wrong. Every now and then, I'll check in on CNN's live updates from the trial, and I'll see things and wonder.."why did they waste time typing this out?"
"Donald Trump is whispering to his attorney."

We're supposed to believe that anyone who surrounds themselves with criminals is more than likely a criminal as well.
Here's a nice flock of birds to soothe one's most inner chord.

Why would someone who presents themselves as completely cocksure that Trump is going to win constantly cry that it's time for Biden to resign or stop running?

are yall saying that anyone who is a convicted criminal that has ever testified against someone else should never be allowed?
If ghislaine maxwell decided to give names of all lthe people who did things on the island, should we believe her, or since she is a convicted criminal, we shouldn't allow her to testify if that were to happen?

Yeah, it's an odd thing to complain about when this happens all...the...time. But, when you're grasping for straws like he is...you get these convoluted and indefensible takes on something pretty obvious. He always, always has ulterior motives

people are convicted all the time from testimoney of former associates who were also convicted of the same crimes..
I wonder if they are also against testimony during a murder trial from someone who was involved in the crime but has decided to admit what happened so he can get a lighter sentence for his testimony?

I remembered where I heard the comment about the mafia boss earlier. It was after the trial of John Gotti. The witness
with character concerns was his former underboss Sam Gravano. Gravono's testimony was the reason Gotti was finally
put away for good.

First, that’s not a “lower level job” - it’s a quite different job. He was at the NYAG before he took the DOJ job - where he was there in an acting (non-confirmed) role from January 2021 to December 2022, before he took the job back at the NYAG to lead the Trump case. You’re going to have to ask him why but there’s certainly nothing curious about it - he wasn’t at DOJ for very long and the AAG post is policy and management, there’s no case work whatsoever. Many lawyers prefer case work and substantive practice over policy and management. And DOJ isn’t necessarily the end all be all.
But it certainly doesn’t suggest he’s some Biden plant. The investigation began in 2018 (when he was still at NYAG). He certainly appears to believe that Trump has broken the law and should be accountable but that hardly means he’s under Biden’s direction. I think many millions share that view.
