Stormy had to bring those up because Trump is still trying to claim he never had sex with her. Understanding what happened and why Trump faked the records was kind of important.

Trump could have spared himself that by admitting he had the sex.

It's amusing you had no such concerns when Pervert Ken Starr was asking Monica Lewinsky far more intrusive questions about her relationship with Clinton.

What if she's lying?

Guess that never crossed your mind.

The fact is whether Trump had sex with her, or she was just trying to blackmail him into paying her hush money, it doesn't have anything to do with the charges.
Trump wasn't on trial for fucking a porn star. That isn't against the law, moron. Nor was Trump on trial for sexual-harassment. The Stormy Daniels testimony was prejudicial and never should have been allowed because, once again for the perpetually stupid, it had nothing to do with the charges.
The only reason it should become part of the trial is if the Defense used his denials as a defense, which they did not.

 

[JoeB131]

Because that's what defense attorneys do. Democrats want a judicial system that doesn't allow a defense at all. The prosecution puts on their case and that's it.

OJ was actually represented by a team of lawyers headed by Johnny Cochran. Did you need OJ to be represented by a Jew instead of a black guy?

I needed OJ to go to jail for murdering two people. Because of the sleazy tactics of Cochrane and Dershowitz, that piece of human garbage was able to walk away a free man while his kids were forced to live with him after he murdered their mother. Ick.

Not sure how Dershowitz sleeps at night.

 

[JoeB131]

No, it never crossed my mind that a guy who has cheated on all three of his wives has proudly bragged about being able to grab women by the pussy, didn't have a sexual relationship with a porn star. Why would it?

No, he is on trial for paying off a porn star to influence an election, and then hiding the payments. That's what he's on trial for.

The only reason it should become part of the trial is if the Defense used his denials as a defense, which they did not.

Actually, her testimony was necessary to demonstrate what Trump was trying to hide and why.

Trump never grabbed any woman by the pussy, he merely talked about women wanting him to.
Biden did grab Tara Reid by the pussy.....and she tried to press charges, but nobody would take the case.

Trump wasn't on trial for paying a porn star hush money. He was on trial for improper book keeping.

Her testimony wasn't germane to the indictment. The only Prosecution witness who's testimony had any relevance to the case was Michael Cohen. He's the person who arranged the payments without Trump's approval, according to his own testimony,.

 

[Billo_Really]

Just what lawfare is, and that includes pliant judges, like Merchan and the other clown in DC, Chutkan.

The Manhattan trial is an embarrassment for NY justice and for America.

...​

​

“I’ve been in courthouses in every part of the world and in China, in Russia, in Ukraine, in Israel. I’ve been all over. I’ve never seen a spectacle like this.​

​

...​

​

Dershowitz pointed out that American law doesn’t allow a judge to just throw out a witness’s testimony to punish a defendant.​

​

“And we didn’t see it because television is not allowed in the courtroom. … They just won’t allow the American public to watch this trial, and I don’t blame them. If I were the judge, I would never want this trial to be on television because he’s behaved so outrageously,” he said.​

​

A report at the Daily Mail described Merchan’s outburst as “unhinged.”​

​

In a column there, Dershowitz described, “The stench of deceit hung in the air as I sat in the front row of a Manhattan courtroom. Seated on the witness stand, no more than a few feet from me, I watched in disbelief as Donald Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen told the jury one seeming lie after another.”​

...​

Then, Dershowitz wrote, Merchan “revealed his apparent unhinged prejudice against Trump when he exploded after Costello, a lawyer himself, expressed his surprise over the mystifying rulings.”​

​

He explained he was in the courtroom at the time, and wasn’t asked to leave, so he stayed.​

​

“I wish that the public could have seen what I witnessed – because I believe the judge’s bias against Trump came through loud and clear. ‘Do you raise your eyebrows at me?’ Merchan shouted at Costello. ‘Did you stare at me?'” he explained.​

​

“He sounded like … a nut on the street. A psycho in the film Taxi Driver.”​

Dershowitz: 'I've Never Seen A Spectacle' Like 'Tyrant' Judge Merchan ⋆ Conservative Firing Line

Dershowitz told Brian Kilmeade that Merchan is a "tyrant" for threatening to strike the testimony of defense witness Bob Costello.

conservativefiringline.com

Deshowitz is a partisan piece of shit! Judge Merchan has bent over backwards accommodating Trump. He even allowed Trump to pass gas in his courtroom.

Trump is guilty and deserves prison time!

 

[JoeB131]

Trump never grabbed any woman by the pussy, he merely talked about women wanting him to.

No, what he said was that he could do it because he was a celebrity.

Biden did grab Tara Reid by the pussy.....and she tried to press charges, but nobody would take the case.

Yeah, probably because she kept changing her story, as often as she changed her name to avoid process servers. This is what you had, a crazy person with dozens of civil complaints for fraud?

Trump wasn't on trial for paying a porn star hush money. He was on trial for improper book keeping.

For paying the porn star.

Her testimony wasn't germane to the indictment. The only Prosecution witness who's testimony had any relevance to the case was Michael Cohen. He's the person who arranged the payments without Trump's approval, according to his own testimony,.

Wow, um, no. His testimony was that he paid it with Trump's promise he'd get paid back after the election. Which he was.

And given Trump's long history of stiffing people who do work for him, Trump must have been really keen to keep this one quiet.

Remember, the reason why Cohen had to do this was because Pecker got stiffed buying Karen McDougal's silence, and wasn't going to do it again.

(Pecker...Stiffed...heh,heh,heh,heh According to Stormy, Trump's pecker wasn't stiff!)

To be fair, the only people suffering from Trump Gas are his lawyers... and they probably deserve it.

 

[DBA]

Nobody believes that they made 34 "mistakes" in filing these.

Even if so, misdemeanors.

 

[JoeB131]

Even if so, misdemeanors.

Which add up to a felony if done to cover up election fraud.

So why are you cheering a guy who is getting away with what you guys have been telling us for years is unethical behavior.

If Bill Clinton fucked a porn star and paid her $130,000 to keep quiet about it, you'd be having a conniption fit and you know it.

 

[DBA]

Which has not been proven. He just happened to be running for President when Stormy threatened to blackmail him (again). She did so many years previous to Trump running for president and, according to Stormy herself, he made moves to prevent the story from being released.

This case is beyond absurd. Even if this biased court and jury convict him, it will be overturned and everyone knows it, including the Democrats that are prosecuting him. They just need to run interference for the election. It is a simple as that.

The same way ALL defense attorney's sleep at night, quite well. And OJ's children were raised by the Brown family, Nicole's parents. No words for F. Lee Bailey or Robert Kardashian?

I'm sure the crooks on SCOTUS might overturn it, but I doubt any court in between would.

Here's a dirty little secret. Most Republican Judges really want Trump to go away and not come back.

 

[mudwhistle]

Or potentially incorrectly accounted business records to keep Stormy quiet. Well known people and companies use NDAs daily to keep away from bad publicity. Trump was well know well prior to his run for president. It stands to reason that he would want to keep Stormy quiet for reasons not related to his campaign, which is perfectly legal. He paid her with his own money, just in the form of a legal expense. Slap on the wrist and move on.

Seems that he didn't pay her. Michael Cohen paid her without Trump's approval.

Now explain why Cohen's own attorney has said Cohen is lying you moron.

I don't think bringing up your little wet dreams sells this line of BS by any stretch.

Regardless how THE MEDIA keeps repeating the lie that everyone hates Trump, turns out they don't. If they did they wouldn't show up at his events and vote for him over and over.

But there was NO election fraud committed by Trump. Per the FEC.

 

[SurferH2O]

Eyebrow raising is serious shit in witch hunt land

Now wait a minute. That guy clearly raised his eyebrow beyond a 35 degree angle. He's lucky not to be in prison right now.

 

[SurferH2O]

Other legal scholars agree....

“This is a Frankenstein case. They took a dead misdemeanor. They attached it to a dead alleged federal felony and zapped it back into life. So many of us are just amazed to watch this actually walk into court, because it's not a recognizable crime that any of us have seen. This does not appear to be a federal crime, but that's the theory that Bragg is using. This state misdemeanor died because of the statute of limitations. Then what Bragg said was, well, I'm going to allege that you did false filings on business records to hide a crime, but he was very ambiguous [on] what that crime might be. He still is ambiguous, but it is assumed to be a federal election crime.” - George Washington University School of Law professor and Democrat Jonathan Turley


Another real question is... why did Hillary Clinton's New York based campaign only face fines for the Steele Dossier and their lies on accounting regarding it, while Trump got a Felony charge for far less? Something is (D)ifferent.

Well, the FBI got even with OJ and put him in prison for something else.

He spent most of the rest of his life in prison.....and now he's dead.

So what's your problem, moron?
