David Pecker to be first witness in Trump’s hush money trial: New York Times

Magazine publisher David Pecker is slated to be the first witness in former President Trump’s criminal hush money trial, The New York Times reported Sunday, setting the stage as the first criminal …

thehill.com

The prosecution is apparently leaking again.

Citing a person familiar with prosecutors’ planned arguments, the Times reported that Pecker’s testimony is expected to center on his conversations with Trump about the hush money payments.

The questions:

How do you rate the likely truthfulness of David Pecker on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being as honest as George Washington and 1 being as honest Michael Cohen?

How do you rate the honesty of the National Enquirer on the same scale?

If you rate the honesty of the magazine differently than the honesty of its publisher, what is the reason for the difference?

 

[Polishprince]

Mr. Pecker has reported a lot of interesting stories over the decades, but I have doubts about his reputation for being 100% accurate. I'd say his credibility is really questionable at best.

seymore, the only person in the world who considers the "enquirer" or its publisher credible seems to be trump.

is it true that "bat boy" and bigfoot will be in the trump47 cabinet?

How do you rate the likely truthfulness of David Pecker on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being as honest as George Washington and 1 being as honest Michael Cohen?

I would say it depends on what his motivation is to lie?

Will he lie to protect his friend Trump?
Is he under threat of criminal prosecution if he does not turn on Trump

Beyond what Pecker says, is what actions did he take to benefit Trump? There is no question that he bought stories damaging to Trump and then killed them.

 

[Seymour Flops]

seymore, the only person in the world who considers the "enquirer" or its publisher credible seems to be trump.

Yet he is Alvin Bragg’s lead witness.

The cross examination may be the most humiliating in history, for both Pecker and Bragg.

is it true that "bat boy" and bigfoot will be in the trump47 cabinet?

Who said that? Michael Cohen?

in that scale of 1-10 the enquirer is , at best , a 1. whatever the enquirer rating, it is infinitely higher than that of the defendant.

"Leaking?"

You post some of the most bizarre stuff. What else do you think Pecker would be testifying too other than conversations with Trump? What Michael Jackson was up to in Jehovah Witness Heaven?

Mr. Pecker has reported a lot of interesting stories over the decades, but I have doubts about his reputation for being 100% accurate. I'd say his credibility is really questionable at best.

What do you make of Mr. Trump's reputation for accuracy?

 

[Seymour Flops]

I would say it depends on what his motivation is to lie?

Will he lie to protect his friend Trump?
Is he under threat of criminal prosecution if he does not turn on Trump

Will this judge allow the defense to question Pecker about threats of prosecution if he doesn’t testify as directed?

Beyond what Pecker says, is what actions did he take to benefit Trump? There is no question that he bought stories damaging to Trump and then killed them.

Does that indicate a high level of honesty to you?

 

[rightwinger]

Trump tells stories that even the Enquirer won’t touch

He'll be under oath. Anything he says will be backed up by other evidence. Nothing depends here

The story said the information was from the prosecution.

Woah, wait! Are you saying that journalists will make up sources to confirm their guesswork?

 

[rightwinger]

Does that indicate a high level of honesty to you?

Actually it indicates a level of partisanship to Trump
So if a blatant Trump supporter provides testimony that is damaging to Trump, wouldn’t it be credible?

 

[Seymour Flops]

Will Michael Cohen also be under oath when he gives that “other evidence?”

Depends on how he is benefitting.

They do at FOX

 

[candycorn]

The audio tape of their conspiring on how to pay off a porn star will be in evidence. Gonna be hard to look the other way on that one.

You trust the story 100%?

Uhm, the hall monitors over at the cult need to speak with you.

no one considers the national; inquirer fabulists to be "journalists," do they ?
