Alvin, shut it down for the sake of the party! - Silvio Canto, Jr. "Up to now, there is a winner and a loser out of this Manhattan trial. The winner is President Trump, who keeps getting stronger. The loser is New York, or the perception that the Empire State is a banana republic. Using the legal system to target political opponents is Banana Republic 101.
"This is from Jonathan Turley:
Cohen’s testimony will be the culmination of this travesty of a trial. But Bragg already jumped the shark with Daniels. After three weeks, legal experts are still debating what the crime was that Trump was seeking to conceal by recording payments for a standard non-disclosure agreement as a legal expense. (That is the same characterization used by Hillary Clinton’s campaign for its funding for the infamous Steele dossier.)
It is still unclear that Trump even knew how the payments were characterized, and the alleged false record was not even created until after the election was over. Yet he stands accused of using the “false business records” to somehow steal or rig an election that was already over.
After this circus with Cohen is complete, Trump will be allowed to testify. He would be insane to do so. Merchan has already said that he will allow a broad scope to cross-examination, making any appearance unlikely.
That is when Merchan will face a key test of judicial ethics. He has failed to protect the rights of the defendant from a baseless, politically motivated prosecution. . . .
Bill Maher has a 2018 video of Stormy Daniels contradicting her trial testimony - American Thinker . . ."Instead, Bragg and Merchan may have discredited themselves even in front of a New York jury that has obviously been primed to rule against Trump. Every witness has been bad for the prosecution, and Stormy has been the worst of all. She spoke of hating Trump, explained that she’d be a judgment deadbeat, and has now been caught in a seeming lie. And that doesn’t even include her craziness about speaking to dead people.
CNN Host Admits Something We've All Known About the Trump-Stormy Daniels Trial (townhall.com) . . ."On Sunday, the CNN host laid out the facts, including the increasing number of Americans who see through the charade. They know the former president won’t be able to get a fair trial, which is why political circuses aren’t sought after. "
