Monday, April 15th: First Ever Criminal Trial for a Former US President

Marchen once again playing interference for the prosecution, not allowing critical testimony from Costello. Marchen allowed ridiculous and salacious testimony from Stormy Daniel’s and yet shuts down relevant testimony from an accredited lawyer with the experience of chief of the criminal division SDNY.
 
court room aside for a moment: cohen says he's considering a run for Congress given the familiarity, now, of his name with voters

just no, cohen, no.

Video feeds ( boxes) 4/5/6/7/8/9 explaining how Bragg’s DA has withheld exculpatory evidence from the grand jury. The narratives are below the video feeds. The whole interview is quite remarkable. I tried to copy the narratives but it wouldn’t let me.
Thanks. Obviously, someone is lying. Guess we’ll see how it goes with Costello’s testimony.
 
Trump consistently ends up in the gutter with trashy people.

Thanks, Biden, for being a grownup.
 
I'm not. The court isn't the issue. Your guy is getting his due and you don't like it
..so anyone that might possibly rule against him is the problem. It will be the jurors and then their families' social media and campaign contributions and then their line of work .......you'll find out why they made their decisions against your guy because that's what you do.
Anyone who thinks he should even be on trial for the current charges is a blithering idiot.

He allegedly ordered him out of the courtroom for attempting to stare down the judge. This phony judge is trying to prevent his testimony against Cohen. Nothing like this trial has ever happened.

Biden administration sends condolences to Iran for the death of the butcher of Teheran, a monster that authorized the killing of hundreds of US troops as well as thousands of his own people. Biden is an incompetent fool with no foreign policy objectives other than garnering votes!!! He's not a grownup. He's a pamper wearing, tapioca eating, dementia riddled idiot.

The epitome of a Kangaroo court.

Great big pussy move on behalf of our nation's most gutless and worthless people. He and they are a disgrace. The government needs more real "men" in charge. Yeah I know, but I had to say it because it's true.
 
He clearly hasn’t.


trump could claim his innocence all day long and the judge wouldn’t have a problem. The gag order was not because trump rolled his eyes or muttered curse words under his breath in court as you said upthread. It was instituted because trump was dog whistle whining and potentially endangering and intimidating people connected to the trial, which could influence the outcome in favor of trump-not surprised you don’t get that. The judge also told Cohen to knock it off since trump couldn’t respond in kind, guess you missed that. BTW, trump tried to use the gag order as an excuse to not testify and the judge set him straight.


The judge denying the defense motion for a mistrial is evidence of the judges bias? Did the edibles kick in because that’s nuts!


The judge cautioned the prosecution in advance not to be too detailed with stormy details. After that, not his responsibility to do the defenses job. The defense should have objected more, op-ed people opined about THAT!


Link us up on this claim. If you can.


Sure. Sounds like the infamous “Many people are saying…”


Oof. I don’t think you understood the point. If Merchan should recuse himself for an appearance of impropriety (for donating less than $35.00 to Biden), as you opined, then the same should apply to SCOTUS, i.e., Alito and Thomas on certain cases.


Yes, we get this SCOTUS is clearly ethically challenged and politicized.


lol, hey, no worries. I’m happy to have you set precedent on the PB. 😊

A fine deconstruction.

Marchen gave Bove additional latitude in questioning. The defense was allowed to get on record that Costello said Cohen said trump knew nothing about the Daniels payoff and that it was all Cohens idea. So how is that playing interference for the prosecution?

What I read is that Marchen ordered the audience and reporters out of the courtroom so he could dress down Costello, who was being a child on the stand with his eyerolls and huffs, in relative private. Also, see my above response to ican in this post.

Costello was reacting to the prosecution's constant objections to the defense's line of questioning. I agree Costello should know better than to intimidate the judge but the point is Marchen sustained the objections while allowing Stormy Daniels to blabber unopposed even after objections from the defense.

Doesn’t sound like intimidation so much as pissing off. You’re gonna have to link up the stormy sexy trump time prosecution objection sustained claim. I must not be googling correctly.

The judge didn't order anyone out, he cleared the room to explain to Costello how witness's are to behave in his court. That's his pejorative. You care to go into a court and tell the judge how to run his show, you best have 30 days free on your schedule.

He's a judge, you're not.....***** sucks when reality and your fantasy don't align.
 
I don't understand the obsession some of you have in playing with them. Nothing you say will change their minds. It's a complete effort in futility.

Marchen admitted to his fuckup of allowing her to ramble on with irrelevant salacious testimony. As if the Jury can un-ring that bell.

It’s a bit of sport at times.

You are clearly link challenged. Your claims/opinions don’t count unless you back them up with cites.

Tensions quickly boiled over after the witness made audible comments and visually reacted to objections, leading Judge Juan Merchan to abruptly clear the press from the courtroom to discuss “decorum,” the first such time during the trial when proceedings were still underway.

“When there is an eyewitness on the stand, if you don’t like a ruling, you don’t say ‘Geez,’” Merchan told Costello before removing the press.

As Phil recently said, that's a lot of words just to tell us you're a MAGAt.

Thanks for the link, but in no way does your The Hill article address your claim that Marchen “admitted his fuckup of allowing stormy to ramble on with irrelevant salacious testimony.” Got anything on that?
 
Brad Smith: What I would have told the Trump jury

In recent days, it has become clear that the Trump trial, in which Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg seeks to imprison former President Donald Trump for a maximum of 136 years over allegedly false bookkeeping, will somehow come down to federal campaign finance law. In this way: Trump is charged with falsifying his company’s business records regarding his payment for a legal nondisclosure agreement with the porn actress Stormy Daniels — and doing so with the intention of committing another crime. But prosecutors have never specified what that other crime is.

In various court filings, however, prosecutors have suggested they plan to argue that Trump intended, along with the false bookkeeping, to violate a state law that bars promoting a political candidacy “by unlawful means.” That’s the other crime, prosecutors will say, and the “unlawful means” will be a violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act, or FECA, the 1970s-era law that regulates political fundraising and spending in federal elections.

That would create a weird situation: a local district attorney in New York prosecuting federal law. “One would say Bragg is outside of his lane, but in this case, he’s on a completely different highway,” George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley told Fox News in March. “This is an effort by a state official to effectively prosecute a federal crime, a crime that the Department of Justice decided not to prosecute.”

Just follow some reliable news platform. I watch expert commentary as it happens. I’m not chasing every comment to post on Lit. Kind of sick of the argumentative saps like FUZZYNUTS and 77 who do nothing more than sling ad-hom. I studied this case even before trial and found it not to be a credible case. Pure political theatrics and abuse of the judiciary. Just an extension of Letitia Jame’s fraud case. N Yorkers should be embarrassed of their judicial system. Hatred for Trump doesn’t qualify for criminal prosecution. Sad!

What's sad is expecting other people to prove your stupid points.

Especially after you screw up.

The only thing you "studied" is right wing propaganda. Like usual.
