personal insults when fact don't fit.

When fact don’t fit. Yeah. Lecture anyone on grammar, bitch.

Anyway, your highly biased and selective criticism is rejected.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

Not in the way the people involved tried to, when covering things up. That's for sure.

There’s nothing to cover up.

There’s nothing to cover up.

That's why he's a criminal defendant. Okay.

Sleepy Trump. He is what he accuses. Imagine the righ wingnuts response if Biden "listened with his eyes closed". So funny.

Throughout the testimony, Trump has mostly listened with his eyes shut

quotes --
The heads of several jurors are going back and forth — tennis-match style — as Michael Cohen and the prosecutor discuss one of the positive stories about Trump that Michael Cohen helped craft for The National Enquirer.

“THE DONALD TRUMP THAT NOBODY KNOWS!” reads one headline.

As a reporter it’s extraordinary to see this 2016 campaign email back-and-forth between Trump’s fixer, Cohen, and The National Enquirer. Cohen is seen in the email editing what goes in and out of a puff piece about Trump. He doesn’t want them to mention that Trump used to date a “Penthouse Pet” — evidence for the jury that Cohen was diligently micromanaging the reporting of Trump’s history with women.

...

Just a reminder about the structure of the charges in this case: Trump has been indicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records related to reimbursing Cohen for the hush-money payment to Stormy Daniels. Those misdemeanor charges can be bumped up to felonies if the jury believes the records were doctored to further or conceal another crime — in this instance, an effort to illegally influence the 2016 election.

Michael Cohen has now testified that he, Trump and David Pecker, the publisher of The National Enquirer, entered into a plot to suppress negative stories about Trump. He says Pecker “would be able to help us to know in advance what was coming out” and try to stop it from doing so.
This is the conspiracy that prosecutors allege Trump participated in — one of the potential crimes that transforms the charges Trump is facing into felonies.

The Enquirer also helped promote negative stories about Trump’s G.O.P. primary rivals. Cohen is now describing them. Some of the smears were directed at Marco Rubio, the Florida senator who is currently a top contender to be Trump’s running mate.

Cohen says that he “immediately showed” such material to Trump, who would greet it with praise like “fantastic, unbelievable.”

Cohen seemingly understood the untapped power of a supermarket tabloid, which would reach voters “at the cash register of so many supermarkets and bodegas.” He testifies: “If we can place positive stories about Mr. Trump, that would be beneficial.” He adds, “And if we could place negative stories about some of the other candidates, that would also be beneficial.”

No. But it shows your complete lack of any ability to distinguish between truth and falsehoods and your indifference to it as long as you biased itch gets scratched.

But back to reality. In the real world, outside of politics and the legal system, even a completely retarded braying jackass like you wouldn’t trust a damn word out of Cohen’s mouth.

I have no problem in distinguishing the relevance of statements.
Your post is a personal attack with a reaffirmation of your total denouncement of Cohen attached.
So nothing really.
It’s you who disregard Cohen’s statements entirely, dupe. As evidenced by your last sentence.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

Your post was a marvel of incomprehensibility.

^ An admission of incompetence.

Great quote --

After an uninterrupted first hour of testimony, there have now been a few objections by the defense, including one that was sustained. Prosecutors also just asked Michael Cohen to slow down.

Few objections.

Michael Cohen is back to reading text exchanges with Dylan Howard. The jurors have heard that Trump is a micromanager — now they’re seeing Cohen micromanage on what he says was his old boss’s behalf, in the form of old text messages.

Recall that jurors have already heard a recording, secretly made by Cohen as he talked to Trump about Karen McDougal, that corroborates Cohen’s point.

Cohen just said that Pecker had told him the agreement with McDougal was “bulletproof.” That is exactly the same word that Pecker told the jury that he had used with Cohen. And how did Trump greet the news that the agreement had been made? “Fantastic,” Cohen says.


Michael Cohen is saying that David Pecker intimated that he had known Trump for years and had essentially compiled a dossier on him, which he would use if need be. Cohen says he was worried that if Pecker were to remain angry at Trump, he might let some potentially damaging stories out of the bag as he was competing for a new position.

It’s worth recalling that Pecker’s mounting frustration about laying out money to kill stories on Trump’s behalf and not getting repaid is what leads to one of the next important plot points: that by the time Stormy Daniels surfaces with her own potentially damaging story, Pecker does not want to pay for it and Cohen takes over as the funder of the catch-and-kill operations.

Fakey remains too pitifully ignorant to understand that the judge is going to be giving the jury some very specific legal instructions concerning the witnesses and their “credibility.”

The defense team will certainly be requesting the standard instruction (amongst others) Colloquially known as “falsus in uno.” It basically comes down to this:

If a juror concludes that a witness has testified falsely about any material matter, that juror is free to decide that everything the witness has testified to is unworthy of any belief. It’s not a requirement. But it is a permissible inference the juror (the trier of fact) is allowed to make use of.

Accept in Whole or in Part (Falsus in Uno)


If you find that any witness has intentionally testified falsely as to any material fact, you may disregard that witness's entire testimony. Or you may disregard so much of it as you find was untruthful, and accept so much of it as you find to have been truthful and accurate.

Wrong again. A comment on poor verbal skills.

Now, try to see if you are able to post on topic instead of your usual Fed prop deflection crap.
