Re: Let's talk about the merits of the NY case against Trump

His gripes about the whole justice system being "rigged" are for show and to appeal to his base. I hope his lawyers avoid that kind of language in their appeal and stick to the strongest argument or two. Frankly they need to avoid arguments about bias as well. Show specifically how your client's Con...

Re: Let's talk about the merits of the NY case against Trump

https://innocenceproject.org/innocence-and-the-death-penalty/ Here's a link to the Innocence Project. I assume that, in addition to President Trump, you will also be willing to help and go to bat for others that have been wrongfully convicted and/or are victims of miscarriage of justice. Some of th...

Re: Let's talk about the merits of the NY case against Trump

We went over that yesterday… they cited New York State election law violations. Therefore they are alleging he broke that law in some way. This thing you arguing about the 6th I watched Mark Levin and several other guests scream about almost verbatim on Hannity’s FOX show last night. Im not saying ...

Re: Let's talk about the merits of the NY case against Trump

So you don't see an obvious breach of the 6th Amendment in trying somebody without specifying what the underlying crime is? Is it the Defendant's burden to defend against every single hypothetical underlying crime imaginable? I remember when I brought this up with the original indictment, people her...

Re: Let's talk about the merits of the NY case against Trump

And yet they had a mountain of non-cohen evidence and 12 people believed it beyond a reasonable doubt. He’ll appeal and we will have to see where this goes but I don’t think he has very good odds of winning. He doesn’t really win much of anything he tries. Having had a day to think about this, I th...

Re: Washtenaw County wizard

That's the second person this year who has left in a huff after MW calls them out or says something that ruffles their feathers. Maybe this is a more effective method than DBR relegation? This particular poster has had a dozen accounts at least. Neckbeard was threatened with banning. The two are no...

Re: Let's talk about the merits of the NY case against Trump

Biden isn’t getting a fair shake either. I feel your pain. I completely disagree. Biden gets the kiddie gloves the vast majority of the time. And I'm not talking about Fox News or conservative talk radio (or on the other side, MSNBC or CNN). I'm talking about legacy media like ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, N...

Re: Let's talk about the merits of the NY case against Trump

Wait, you don't think Trump supporters are suffering from mental illness? How do explain the Jan 6 crowd? These people have been convicted in normal courts. The entire election fraud campaign was a set up, as evident by the many people arrest for election interference. How could someone possibly no...

Re: Let's talk about the merits of the NY case against Trump

That depends on whether said mental distress is warranted. Many of the people I'm referring to probably would have lived basically the same life under Trump or under Hillary.

Re: Let's talk about the merits of the NY case against Trump

"an inability to admit something is wrong." So is that ultimately your answer? Setting your sarcasm from the remainder of your post aside, would you at least agree that Donald Trump is the most polarizing figure in the history (at least modern history) of American politics? For every person who idol...

And we continue to die on the hill of Donald Trump. Anyone else in this situation would have been cast off. But...it's...you know...Trump.
And why do you think that's the way it is? Genuinely curious.

Re: Let's talk about the merits of the NY case against Trump

Fine. You disagree with the verdict. 100% your right. But when you keep talking about the biased judge and jury being politically swayed, you cross the line. I didn't cross any line. The idea that politics played no role in any of this - from the charges, to the prosecution, to how the judge handle...

Re: Let's talk about the merits of the NY case against Trump

I'm not defending Trump's lawyers because I'm not particularly impressed with how they handled this. But the standard of guilt is "beyond a reasonable doubt" and the idea that the prosecution proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump directed Cohen to make the payment, all with the pre-conceived i...
