So you made it up, thought so. 

NDAs are legal, I've been saying it for weeks, 

Did you have a quote? I thought not. 

I am not going to bother doing the Google thing to quote from Trump's rant the other day, since you paraphrased Trump immediately.

 

The big question is whether Trump's attorney was able to trip up Michael Cohen during the cross examination. Spoiler Alert: Todd Blanche mailed it in, and so the Trump fans here don't have any talking points today to share.

Oh, it's your memory again. This is what I said last week:

 

Trump’s lawyer pays Stormy’s lawyer to influence one party to enter into an NDA with another party, which is legal. 

Stormy’s lawyer pays Stormy to enter into an NDA with another party, which is legal. 

An NDA is payment in consideration of a contract, which is legal.

Trump pays his lawyer and calls it legal expenses, which is legal. 

Stormy violates the contract.

The FEC looked at it and did not prosecute. 

 

Bragg looked at it and did not prosecute. 

 

The Biden DOJ sends one of their top guys to New York to make up a campaign finance violation. 

 

Trump is indicted.

A convicted liar (to Congress) ready to take the stand.   Think OJ trial  ...  should be a short deliberation as well.

 

Some quality testimony, Daniels & her convicted lawyer (if testifying)  ... 

... they're joking right.

The quality lies in the invoices, checks and audio recordings. Daniels and Cohen are simply corroboration of physical evidence.

 

Trump is ready to testify outside the courtroom, in the domain of public opinion. There's no way his lawyers will let him take the witness stand, it would be judicial suicide.

Donald Trump committed business fraud to cover up an illegal campaign finance violation.

 

As for FEC:

 

Ultimately Mr. Cohen was sentenced to three years in prison and ordered to pay $1.39 million in restitution, $500,000 in forfeiture, and $100,000 in fines for two campaign finance violations (including the payment at issue in these matters) and other charges.

 

In sum, the public record is complete with respect to the conduct at issue in these complaints, and Mr. Cohen has been punished by the government of the United States for the conduct at issue in these matters.

 

Thus, we concluded that pursuing these matters further was not the best use of agency resources.

Yes, Michael Cohen went to jail for a campaign finance violation that Trump tried to cover up by employing business fraud.

 

Nothing in the trial so far has shaken the prosecution's case. Maybe the Defense will pull a rabbit out of the hat next week.

[earlinclaifornia]

I read the Defense has a surprise witness that is an Accountant.

Expect more Trump hopelessness, as that is how Trump rolls.

Let's not assume that Trump's defense is hopeless based on their recent, fairly incompetent performance.

No, he went to jail for tax evasion. He pled guilty to the campaign finance violation to get a reduced sentence such that he could help with the prosecution of Trump.

Nothing to shake, as there was not crime. 

 

But yes, he'll be convicted because of people like you.

All we are hearing from Defendant Trump’s supporters right now is them lining up their excuses for not accepting the verdict in the event the jury hands down a conviction.

There was a campaign finance violation, as you state above, which was covered up by Trump via business fraud.

 

If there was no crime, why didn't Trump pay Stormy Daniels directly from the coffers of the Trump campaign?

Your claim it that the crime was that Trump did not pay Stormy from the campaign. 

 

And had he paid her with campaign funds, it would have been a crime, and the FEC would have prosecuted him.

OK I just read the article and the poll questions, chuckled and moved on.

 

The sad thing is all you guys just shout and screech the same stuff over and over thinking you are convincing anyone of anyhting other than the fact that for whatever psychological defect of your own, Donald Trump lives in your head to the exclsuion of happiness and rationality.

 

I worry that when he is re-elected there are going to be folks hurling themselves out of View Talay as their own little fantasy world is destroyed.

If I was in your shoes this is exactly how I too would respond.

 

So now that  I have been warned, that when your massiah is back as leader I will hurl myself. 

Like I did last time?

Honestly I have been really entertained by many MAGA and Donald as well.

 

Had you thought much about the furture at all if Biden is ignaugrated?

What will MAGA do leaderless? And you personally?

I know you will not answer but seems to me five months out is a good time to start youcontemplatig the next move, if any.
