Trump Campaign was prepared for a guilty verdict

Trump Campaign was prepared for a guilty verdict.
This was sent out within minutes of the verdict.
Good to see they were prepared.

Of course they were, with this jury and judge, Jesus Christ would have been convicted. There was never more than a thousand to one chance of even a hung jury.

It’s a felony because he engaged in those activities to hide a crime committed by someone else

What crime?
NY can't prosecute Federal Laws.

Trump Campaign was prepared for a guilty verdict​

Duh.

In other words, they knew they were in a deep blue cesspool.

GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS!

It's a show trial worthy of Stalin. If anything the verdict was necessary to wake us up to how much of a tyranny the US has become. It's really something we need to be reminded of everyday.

Here's 3:
1. The Federal Election Law expert to say no Fed election laws were broken by Trump and why. A "missing witness".
2. Mr. Shiller who would confirm that Cohen never spoke with Trump as testified to, that the call was only about the 14-year old prankster. Another missing witness.
3. The prosecution did not call Weissenberg to the stand because they knew he would exonerate Trump. Still another missing witness.

"Missing witnesses"? As in, Trump's team didn't call witnesses?

The prosecution could call who they like, the defense team could have called Weissenberg if they wanted to.

Smells like a lot of nothing to me.

It's unfortunate, but Biden must be stopped from flooding America with the third-world.

Who pays the pensions then?

 

[otto105]

Even career Dem supporters are saying it openly "I don't believe this man would have been charged if his name wasn't Trump".

You are cutting off your nose to spite your face.

Bullshit has been called.

We’re now the law & order party while you fuckups lick shoes.

 

[MagicMike]

It's a show trial worthy of Stalin.

How so?
Care to elaborate in your own words?

If anything the verdict was necessary to wake us up to how much of a tyranny the US has become.

Or.....it could wake you up to what a false god your cult is devoted to.
Your choice.

It's really something we need to be reminded of everyday.

Agreed.
We need to be hearing and reading those words everyday:
CONVICTED FELON DONALD J. TRUMP.

The weaker and more insecure an individual is, the lower they go, to put someone down, in order to make themself feel better.

The weaker and more insecure an individual is, the lower they go, to put someone down, in order to make themself feel better.

The first step in recovery is admitting that you have the problem.

Congrats.

It is Blasphemous to mention Jesus Christ around US politics and especially anything about the antichrist, Donald Trump

Trump called Shiller and the Federal Election Law expert, Merchan said no.
The prosecutor would rather try to interpret accounting stuff instead of asking the guy who knows. Total bullshit.

Yes. To remind us just how evil and satanic the enemy democrats really are.

Not germane to the case.

And would have a been just a bullshit move by the defendant (now convict).

I think you're wrong

"Collins named the defendant’s former bodyguard Keith Schiller and the ex-Trump Organization chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg as two examples and asked why Blanche did not call on them to make an appearance in Judge Juan Merchan’s courtroom."

Blanche was/is Trump's lawyer.

Prosecution of Donald Trump in New York - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

"The defense team had initially planned to call Bradley Smith, a former chairman of the Federal Election Commission (FEC), as an expert witness on campaign finance law."

"However, on May 20, Judge Merchan ruled that Smith's testimony would be limited to "general definitions and terms" so as to not supplant the judge's role to determine what the law is.[450][451][y] As a result, the defense decided not to call Smith as a witness."

The judge said that Smith could testify, but that that testimony would be "general definitions and terms" and not deciding what the law means.

There are rules in legal cases.

Judge won't let defense expand expert witness' testimony

"On Thursday, defense lawyers asked Merchan to allow Smith to testify about various terms related to federal campaign finance laws. "

So the defense said they wanted Smith to testify about what various terms mean.

"Merchan denied the request, citing long standing precedent prohibiting witness testimony about the law."

So, it seems that this is NORMAL. Trump doesn't know, does CARE if it's normal or not. He opens his big ass mouth and says whatever his ignorance wills it to.

So, you're wrong.

1. Schiller could have confirmed that Cohen was lying when he said that he advised Trump of the Stormy payments, when the call was totally about some 14-year old prank caller. The judge denied Schiller as a witness.

2. I agree that the judge knows State Law, but this case is about Federal Election Law. Smith is the expert. The appeals courts should overturn the 34 counts eventually.

1. So why didn't they call him?

Trump is complaining that the PROSECUTION didn't call witnesses that the DEFENSE thinks would have helped the DEFENSE.

"He continued: “The question that we asked of the jury and that they ultimately, obviously, got past is why the prosecution didn’t call those witnesses, right?"

"“As a defense attorney you don’t go into a case saying, ‘I’m going to fill the holes of the prosecution’, right? And Keith Schiller and some of the other witnesses that were not ultimately called, in our view, should have been called by the prosecution and we asked the jury to take a hard look at that."

Surely the DEFENSE could easily have called these people if they benefited the DEFENSE.

So.... this is utterly BIZARRE.

2. Smith is an expert and the judge said: you can stand as a witness and you can discuss the definitions of things and not interpret the law.

There's NOTHING UNUSUAL about this. This is such common practice in the USA that it's precedent, and it'll never get overturned.

Why? Because A) the DEFENSE didn't call someone who they were told they could call and B) what the judge said is normal law.

Again... this is utterly BIZARRE.

Trump is playing on the ignorance of his supporters, he's lying, talking crap and he's literally undermining the integrity of the judicial system along with the democracy of the US.

He's fucking dangerous.

1. The appeals process will play out as it plays out. I hope before the election.

2. Missing witnesses are not the deciding factor in overturning the convictions. The more serious issues are a state court adjudicating Federal Election issues, lack of due process, improper jury instructions, etc.
