It's all ELECTION INTERFERENCE, sloth.----------------------------------------------------------
Well, poster Al, funny you mention that.
In this morning's Washington Post there is this Q&A by two reporters who are assigned the 'Trump Trial' beat. They put out their reportage almost daily. And, they do Q&A's.
-----------------------------------------------------
Like this one this morning:
Q: "Does Trump have to be convicted or acquitted on all 34 counts — or can a jury find him guilty on some and not guilty on others? Is it possible that there can be a hung — or split — jury on just some of the counts?"
"Yes, these scenarios are all possible. The indictment lists 34 felony counts under the same New York statute. Each count represents a separate instance of alleged misconduct. That means that prosecutors are alleging that Trump falsified business records 34 times — and a jury will have to decide whether he committed that crime in each of those 34 instances. The jury could find him guilty in some instances and not guilty in others. In theory, a jury can be hung on a few of the counts — rendering a mistrial on just those counts — and prosecutors could decide to retry Trump on those counts.
