As I said Cohen literally testified in this trial that he only plead guilty because the government threatened to put his wife in prison for his tax crimes because her name was on their joint tax returns.
When the full weight of the government comes down on people almost all of them will plead guilty even if they didn't do it because the government doesn't actually want to prosecute them it wants them to flip on their actual target.
the crime is falsifying business records. According to NY law, you need not prove that the defendant committed all aspects of that crime. This is logical. A wire fraud case, the defendant could have told his workers to do the wire. In a bank robbery, the defendant might not have had the gun. Someone else did.
There is plenty of evidence that these were not attorney fees. David Pecker's testimony laid out the scheme and what all these funds moving hands was all about. And there are texts, emails and a tape that support that purpose. Hope Hicks as well.
Trump's defense should be focusing on a narrow line. That Trump did not know anything about the book keeping. That he is the President for Chrissakes. He has people for that. But Trump is forcing his attorneys to sink his ship by keeping that narrow line of defense obscured from the jury. And making the Jury hate the defense for multiple reasons.
not until both sides agree on format and dates and moderator.
trump is just marketing here.
'heck yeah I'll debate'
then later he'll say 'no way am I debating under the most fixed conditions ever'
To be fair, biden made a proposal. trump will make a counter proposal. they have to agree in order for there to be debates and I don't think they will agree.
This is them agreeing. June 27th. CNN studio in Atlanta. It's happening
How is black crime in Democrat cities increasing to sky high levels Trump's fault?
This here is a helpful post for those that study the mind of Trumpers.
Not only is Trump excused by Trumpers for all the awfulness that took place in the last year of his presidency. (25% of his term).
But they also feel Trump is not responsible for anything that takes place anywhere in any demographic or location they view is not theirs.
Using this logic Biden is excused for any poor economic metrics coming from rural, white traitor trash America. Sorry Trumpers it doesn’t work that way.
But we see where they get that thinking don’t we? Remember when Trump wanted to deny disaster aid and medical supplies to blue states and cities?
The damage that Fox and Trump have done to the concept that we are a United States is immeasurable.
He tossed some paper towels in Puerto Rico, I think.
Man of the people.
"Humanitarian" WILL be on his gravestone (but the engravers will not be paid).

But land votes in America unfortunately.
My guess is the margin of loss in the general vote by the R presidential candidate will only keep widening and they will use this and any indicator of decline in their popularity as Ds must be cheating... the Rs started going against government a long time ago, then invited trump in to speed that up, and now openly want to finish off democracy. They keep doing this to save their a$$es and participate in the grift, under the guide of owning the libs. And as a final step in transferring full power to them to destroy our democracy, a sufficient number of mouth breathers will risk it all. Once they have what they need they won't need to answer to the mouth breathers or Ds... they already have a propaganda arm in FOX and control the supreme court. Just a bit more and we can finally be like Turkey.

yeah nah they haven't agreed on the rules yet. To my knowledge.

Nice - hot off the press. My guess is Trump is going to claim CNN is left-wing/communist/Marxist run by Soros and that they won't be fair to trump (yes he'll refer to himself in the third person). I doubt he'll show. Wonder if it conflicts with any court day.
Also - Gary, is Biden going to drop out before or after this first debate? Lolz.. are you already getting intel from your sources about Biden taking drugs and using secret devices or body doubles for the debate?

They agree to no audience, but CNN reports that "Moderators for the debate and additional details will come at a later time, the announcement said."
They are debating. June 27th. Get your popcorn ready cause it's happening.
I'm not so sure. Trump would have to be desperate or his ego in all-time pain to show up. He must have watched the SOU and he knows what happened last time they debated. He only has to lose from doing this, but now Biden called his bluff so he might take the risk. Trump humpers are getting nervous.
Those who say 'eh ok so trump has eroded the very idea of truth and doesn't accept losing election results and sacked congress. So what? We'll survive' are dancing on the edge of a volcano.
Stephanopoulos: We have never had a former president who was impeached then indicted for trying to overturn an election. We've never had a former president who lies about the election that he lost. We've never had a former president or presidential candidate who refuses to pledge to accept the results of the next election if he lost. The peaceful transfer of power is the most fundamental tenet of our democracy. Refusing to accept it is un-American and unconstitutional

Yes, CNN, AND in ATLANTA....wink-wink, nudge-nudge, you conservative patriots (not racists)......

It would be politically unwise to drop out of a debate you agree to. Trump has been itching to debate for months. This is happening. It should make you excited. Joe is good at these

You haven't heard who the moderators will be? Whoopi G, Joy Behar, Joy Reid and Mika B.

This is why law, order and justice have to move much faster in our country. For as long as trump remains unaccountable, he cements the idea that he's done nothing wrong and that he was right about everything. Even banana republics like Brazil have no tolerance for dictator wannabes and move quickly to squash them.
