They see him sleeping. They hear his farts. Yup.
How long until this case is done and they start the appeals process, and how many appeals levels do they get to go through?
Imagine how funny it would be if this group of Trump lawyers accidently get Trump’s punishment x10 fold what it normally might be.. Like lawyer Alina Habba did in the Jean Carrol Sex/rape defamation case
He’s a lawyer and a witty guy. I hope they can get past that, and focus on the meat of what he said and his credibility.
It only takes ONE MAGA juror to let him walk free.
Trump’s big legal strategy is to argue that the guy everyone knows is a liar, was convicted of lying… is a liar? Can’t say it’s surprising the jury is uninterested.
Cohen was corroborating information that they were already aware of, not providing new evidence.
Jury for world’s guiltiest man may find man guilty.
Ive seen so many “bad signs” for that orange teflonburger… I Hope some shit actually sticks at some point.
Just here to watch the MAGA folks implode.
Okay…even myself, who has time and again argued against people whining about ‘clickbait’ headlines (you know, the whole point of a headline in the first place) find this annoying.
Next, Salon is going to say Juror 12 scratching their nose is bad for Trump
What’s the earliest they could deliberate and hand down a decision?
T minus 10 days until “Biased jurors! Totally rigged against me”
Trying to predict a jury’s decision is a fool’s errand. This is just baseless content fluff.
All 12 had better be nodding, smiling, giving thumbs up and winking aggressively or he’s still going to get off.
I’m sure Trump will get in the stand and clear up this issue once and for all
/s
It only takes one juror to fuck this up, and one apparently is on the jury.
Would be funny if they did it just to troll him too.
He only needs juror #2 to hang it for him.
can we ban salon articles? their articles read like fox news satire
I’m more focused on what the sentence the judge would give should he be found guilty.
Must we play this fucking game? Let them vote as they are going to vote, I don’t need to read the tea leaves on juror facial expressions.
don’t read too much into this—it only takes one to block a conviction
I may defecate gold coins later this afternoon.
None of it matters. There is no chance that the Trump mafia failed to get a plant on the jury or buy off/threaten one of the jurors. It will be a hung jury, but one. That’s all it takes.
Article doesn’t even say what they were smiling and nodding about. I read the cross examination and it was absolutely hilarious:
————-
Q Mr. Cohen, my name is Todd Blanche.
You and I have never spoken or met before; have we?
A We have not.
Q But you know who I am; don’t you?
A I do.
Q As a matter of fact, on April 23rd, so after the trial
started in this case, you went on TikTok and called me a “Crying
Little Shit;” didn’t you?
A Sounds like something I would say.
Q You referred to President Trump as a “Dictator Douche Bag;” didn’t you?
A Sounds like something I said.
Q And on that same TikTok, so again on April 23rd, you
referred to President Trump when he left the courtroom, you said
that “he goes right into that little cage, which is where he
belongs, in a fucking cage, like an animal.” Do you recall saying that?
A I recall saying that.
Q You’ve also talked about, extensively, on Mea Culpa,
your desire to see that President Trump gets convicted in this
case; correct?
A Sounds like something I would say.
Q And so, yes, you want to see President Trump get
convicted from this case; correct?
A I would like to see accountability. That’s not — it’s
not for me, it’s for the jury and this Court.
Q Now, you actually — and the Prosecutor brought this up
a little bit before lunch today — you sell a T-shirt on your
website Mea Culpa, which depicts President Trump in an orange
jumpsuit behind bars; correct?
A Yes, sir.
Q So you see that when you — if somebody logs onto the
website for your Podcast, that’s what you see; correct, for the
merchandise pages; correct?
A It’s actually under the MeidasTouch network and, yes,
if you go into the section that says “Mea Culpa,” this shirt is
available for sale.
Q So this is a 32 dollar shirt on your website. And it
has a picture of President Trump in an orange jumpsuit behind
bars; correct?
A That’s what the picture shows, yes.
————-
And it just keeps going and going over every item in the Meidas Touch merch store. https://store.meidastouch.com/. When Blanche brought out the mug that says “Send him to the Big House not the White House”, members of the media giggled.
This is what the jury was nodding and smiling about.
MSNBC said that defense won today. Which is it?
What a stupid fucking article.
Remember people guilty without reasonable doubt, Cohen is a serial convicted liar which means everything he is saying is doubtful. Case is weaker than a wet paper bag
