Merchan's mistrial ruling and the efficacy of incompetence.

Yes. We know that because his testimony will fit seamlessly with the testimony of other witnesses like David Pecker's and everyone else's.

The New York attorney general’s lawyers objected to Donald Trump’s attorneys accusing Michael Cohen of committing perjury after Cohen acknowledged he lied to the judge who sentenced him in his 2018 federal case.

Cohen said in response to questions from Trump attorney Alina Habba that he was lying when he admitted to tax evasion crimes in his 2018 guilty plea, saying he did not actually commit them.

“Did you lie to Judge (William) Pauley when you said that you were guilty of the counts that you said under oath that you were guilty of? Did you lie to Judge Pauley?” Habba asked Tuesday.

“Yes,” Cohen said.

Facts again aren't for you!

Nothing he says is credible.

Everything he says is credible because it matches the documentary and testimonial evidence already on the record.

CNN anchor Fareed Zakaria asserted on Sunday that the Manhattan trial of former President Donald Trump was propelled solely by the president’s name—a sentiment long echoed by Republicans.

Zakaria made these remarks during his CNN show Fareed Zakaria: GPS while assessing the nation’s future amid the upcoming 2024 presidential election.

He noted that the trials against Trump have sparked fury within the Republican base, garnering sympathy for the president due to the perception that the prosecuting attorneys “are politically motivated.”

Tellingly, Zakaria then conceded, “This happens to be true, in my opinion. I doubt the New York indictment would have been brought against a defendant whose name was not Donald Trump.”

Trump denied second mistrial request, gag order change in hush money case

Former President Trump's legal team was denied two requests Thursday in his ongoing hush money criminal trial.

The big picture: Judge Juan Merchan rejected a mistrial motion two days after denying a similar request, and he declined to narrow a gag order to allow Trump to speak publicly about adult film actress and star witness Stormy Daniels following her testimony.

State of play: Daniels, whose allegations about an alleged sexual encounter with the former president are at the heart of the criminal trial, defended herself Thursday as Trump's attorneys often appeared to try to undermine her credibility by accusing her of story discrepancies.

• Trump's attorney Todd Blanche requested a mistrial, arguing some of her testimony, including details about an alleged sexual encounter, are unrelated to charges in the case and that her testimony was detrimental.
• Merchan rejected the defense's claim that Daniels' testimony differed from her previous accounts.
• The judge brought up specific issues with the defense's arguments, including that instead of denying the falsification of business records, they're denying the alleged sexual encounter Daniels spoke about, per the New York Times.
• "That in my mind allows the people to do what they can to rehabilitate her and to corroborate her story. Your motion for a mistrial is denied," Merchan said.

Merchan dressed down the defense's ridiculous request for a mistrial. A request made based on objections to "prejudicial" testimony given by Daniels. Merchan noted it was the defense's contention the sexual encounter never took place that allowed for Daniels to give detailed testimony about it. And that defense counsel passed on opportunities to object during the testimony if they took issue with it.

How does the incompetence of defense counsel work in Don's favor with respect to the court of public opinion? It allows Trump to accuse Merchan of bias, the most essential aspect of the defense to date. A claim no doubt amplified by RWM, who's job it is to reinforce the lies and disinformation Trump spews on a regular basis.

It's all part of a theme. How do you distract attention away from the commission of crimes? Claim our system of justice is corrupt and Trump is being persecuted. How do distract from an incompetent defense? Claim the judge is biased. How do you explain a lost election? Claim the system is rigged. Never accept responsibility for failure. Never admit defeat. Never admit to making mistakes. Sounds like a petulant child, or an authoritarian figure, not the leader of a constitutional republic.

I doubt they're that incompetent. Rather, they are looking for a reversal on appeal, while also feeding the crowd at the Coliseum
