The jury is dismissed now to return at Thursday at 9:30 a.m. ET.

KJP admitted today that the trial in NY is lawfare.  On another note, if Cohen is the prosecution's last witness I don't believe they've proven their case.   Good luck libs.

Given your law background: can Cohen testify to Trump's state of mind, other than specific statements made by Trump?

He can testify to whatever the judge allows him to testify.  The general rule is one cannot speculate on the mental state of another.  The objection here would be speculation.  The party offering the speculation might try to show foundation that it is not mere speculation or wild speculation.  They would try to show the longstanding nature of the relationship and the confidence the one held for the other.  Were they friends?  Did Cohen socialize with Trump at dinners, on the golf course, or at family functions. Were their work encounters frequent, even daily and did they discuss strategies or did Cohen simply recieve marching orders?  Did Cohen know things others did not?

 

I have not followed this as closely as others.  For instance today I worked out, kayaked, and am preparing to drive to Vegas for the Dead and Co at the Sphere.  I can hardly speculate with any degree of confidence as to the matter other than to say as seems to be the pattern this Judge has a high tolerance for letting the prosecution put on its case.  Me, from what I have heard I would sustain a motion to direct the verdict for the defense after the prosecution rests, but again, I have not heard or read all the testimony nor read all the exhibits.

[Engorgeous George 1,346]

If Squistions summary is acccurate, and I presume it is, Cohen is damaging his efforts to rehabilitate his credibility everytime he says "that sounds like me" or "That's probably true".  When the other side has you dead to rights just agree, unconditionally.  Anything less sounds insincere and self-serving in the ears of your average juror. (Of course this jury may be something other than the average jury, drawn as it was from a rather skewed demographic)

This is why trump will never testify.  He's too dumb.  He can't keep up with all of his lies over the years.  Constant lying, constant crimes, constant cover up.  Throw in some dementia and he doesn't even know what is reality or truth anymore.

Yeah. like when his dad got eaten by those cannibals from puerto rico on the train where he gave the key to the inflation he pretends he never created....

oops....sorry that was good old joe

Maybe instead of pretending Trump is any different than any other politicians when it comes to lying we dispense with the non relevant elements and stick to the fact that Trump simply did the job better, despite lying like a normal politician and being just as dislikable

It’s not 2020 anymore. Smearing....labelling....disparaging....and fabricating misplaced hate has lost its power. People are increasingly not accepting these tactics. If anything, it has become a status marker—the regime only goes after the significant. And with each failed attempt, the threat becomes weaker, the opposition stronger.

When tens of  millions of people allow you to do whatever you like for years and everyone around you kisses your ass non-stop it has to mess with your head and you get sloppy.

This pussay was also lamenting that Donald wasn’t called “President Trump” and how disrespectful it was. 

Same ass was talking about Obama’s birth certificate and that something wasn’t right about him

I don't think Trump is cool.  This subjective consideration is meritless.

He is a dooosh, an unlikable blowhard.....but who gives  a  fock

You all need to stop worrying about irrelevant factors and get back to big boy stuff

Nope.....lawfare in action, political gamesmanship in action.  Election manipulation in action.

Importantly, its not working as well.  Time to shift strategies

So creating a slate of fake electors and pressuring your VP to accept the fake votes, and then organizing a mob to halt the process isn't election manipulation.  But holding the person accountable for these crimes is?

Oh I know the bullsh!t they are trying to pull.  I absolutely understand their game here. But hey, when your political party has failed miserably and people now want to vote for someone else, this is what you do

Can't persuade people after sh!tting on them for years, so attempt to jail your political opponent on anything you can......

If I seem hesitant to embrace soviet doctrine, it might be due to not wanting that nonsense for this nation.

Not at all.....in fact the word arises from Hillary Clinton, as well as others of course, but once Trump replicated their behavior....well....then it apparently became a bad behavior....who could have seen that coming

I know right, just like those on the right that chastised Hillary for her behavior but now support Trump for his.  Shocking.

So now that we have found common ground.....and can admit they are all the same....we can then stop pretending any one of them is any better or worse on this irrelevant elements, this is progress!

So now we can focus on outcomes, and outcomes indicate the doosh among the tribe of dooshes who serves us best remains Trump
