Oh, this case will never survive the appeal process.

But that's the point, of course. The trial, and the appeals process, costs money. Lots of it. Sure, Mr. Trump is loaded. He can "afford" it.

How 'bout you? Me? The owners of this forum? The January 6 protesters?

Takes one a whole new light, doesn't it?

But what can jurors do to protect from being deceived by the judge?

The first thing a juror can do with respect to a deceptive judge or prosecutor is vote to acquit. Deception by either judge or prosecutor raises Reasonable Doubt that the defendant is guilty.

Bookkeepers get to know who is a regular on the Accounts Payable system.

IF COHEN had cleaned a building for Trump, after many years of submitting LEGAL FEES invoices, the bookkeeper would just about automatically record it as legal fees.

IF Cohen’s invoice said LEGAL FEES-—CANNOT blame the bookkeepers.

The biggest criminal in this “trial” is COHEN.

Have you ever served as a juror?

I have. You know. You can tell when they’re BSing you. You can tell when you’re “being denied critical need-to-know information”. What they don’t say is as important as what they do say.

Yes, we acquitted that defendant.

Everyone seems to think that Trump was calling the shots on Cohen's work...he was not.

I do contracts with my clients....I tell them what I will do (which is a broad statement) and that they will pay me in three installments.

Cohen says he will provide legal services...and a contract with Stormy is a legal service.

If they want to know what's up...they have to search Cohen's files...which they obviously did and that's how Cohen wound up in jail...nothing to do with Trump.

Two things we need to do.

Get rid of the Soros family.Easy to do using the Criminal court of the Hague.

Pardon every J-sixer, and allow them to be compensated for malicious prosecution.
