re: Trump Trial: Judge Merchan won't allow certain Defense testimony
Posted by Ex-Popcorn on 5/20/24 at 2:12 pm
[quote]He also isn't allowing in an email that was sent to Cohen to impeach his testimony[/quote]
This is a much bigger deal to me than the campaign finance guy.
There was a meeting between Cohen and Costello. After the meeting, an email was sent to Cohen saying essentially, "just confirming ...

[quote]Yeah, I assume there is more to it than what's in OP (for obvious reasons), but that's a bad ruling almost universally.[/quote]
The judge ruled that it doesn't matter if he actually violated campaign finance law...just that he had the intent to commit another crime. So, in his view, the e...

No offense, but if you are posting this, you probably shouldn't think your opinion on the use of music on the course is commonplace.
To be clear, music in carts is the norm. If you are not into that, you are the exception. That's jus...
re: What crime did Trump cover up in the NYC hush money bookkeeping trial?

[quote]No one can even comment on how the business records were falsified.[/quote]
That's the real key none of talking heads wants to talk about.
No matter what it was for, an attorney submitted an invoice, it was paid, and it was marked as "legal expenses" in the formal accounting software.

[quote]Federal Election, Federal crime, so why is it being tried as a state crime?
Why did the Feds decline to prosecute?[/quote]
it's not being tried as a state crime. There is only one crime being pursued. Falsification of business records.
The rest is just a procedural mechanism that w...

re: Cohen: The payment was delayed in election interference trial, it only matter if Trump won
Posted by Ex-Popcorn on 5/13/24 at 5:56 pm
[quote]They weren’t legal expenses dude. The misdemeanor is a slam dunk[/quote]
They were funds paid to a lawyer. On a ledger, tell me what that payment should say, genius?
Lawyers pay lots of bills for their clients and seek reimbursement later--document costs, expert fees, airfare and hot...

[quote]Hopefully Trump's lawyers pick up on the fact this blows the whole case. If Trump said to delay the payment until after the election then it's not election interference.[/quote]
I don't think many people understand the case, including a lot of the talking heads. The campaign finance viola...
re: Cohen testimony is a joke he saying everything he can to get a guilty verdict
Posted by Ex-Popcorn on 5/13/24 at 3:15 pm
Can anyone point out where Trump falsified business records? This is the actual testimony:
Trump’s lawyer Emil Bove got former Trump Organization Controller, McConney, to concede he had never spoken with Trump about repayments to Cohen, and had never been directed to register the payments in a ...

Posted by Ex-Popcorn on 5/10/24 at 1:22 pm
On its face it's a good objection and ruling. That witness cannot tell you what was in Trump's mind without laying the proper foundation.
"He was upset."
Question: How do you know he was upset.
Answer: He told me.
Question: Did he tell you why he was upset?
Answer: Yes.
Quesiton: What did...
