“Stand Back and Let It Fall”: Jonathan Turley Says Alvin Bragg’s Case Against Trump Is “Collapsing” After Witness Testimony

catch and kill is not a crime by itself.

falsifying business records to cover it up, is a crime.

donations by individuals are limited to $2500 and not $130k which Cohen initially took a mortgage to payoff Stormy to be silent, for Trump's campaign run.

In kind campaign donations by businesses like the N/E are limited also, and must be reported under campaign finance law
Sounds like a Cohen problem

Trumps not charged with violating any campaign fin laws.
 
Yeah, there is. What do you think the subject of this OP is, Winnie? Maybe you should bone up on your reading and comprehension skills. It would help you stay on topic.
Oh, sorry I had more important things, and ignored you for a moment.

The topic was the fraud Turley........Dear Lord.....Is he the BEST you got?
 
- Turley is also getting paid as a Fox News Contributor...

- the article was an opinion, not a scholarly constitutional article....
Nice try--irrelevant as to his qualifications to express that opinion, but a nice try just the same. Fits in well with your gossip. What qualifications did you say you had that put you in a position to question his opinion?

What was the subject of Turley's opinion, Winnie? That's right, Trump's sham trial. LOL, a failed WA state faux educator questions the qualifications of a highly regarded constitutional scholar from George Washington University School of Law. LOL, keep at it, Winnie, you exhibit your LACK OF QUALIFICATIONS with every post.
 
And a case bought and paid for by George Soros.

Just a miserable matter that any judge with an ounce of fairness would have tossed by now.


George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley on Friday said the prosecution’s case against former President Donald Trump is failing as a key witness is benefiting the defense.
... The prosecution’s first witness, former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker, was helpful to Trump as the prosecution made mistakes that the defense capitalized on during cross-examination, Turley asserted on Fox News’ “Outnumbered.”
“It’s a breakdown in the courtroom. They have a witness that is disassembling in front of them,” Turley said. “The prosecution never revealed to the jury in the direct that Pecker had actually killed stories for other celebrities, that he had been working on stories two decades before the election with Trump that he was suppressing. And now it’s only getting worse. Yesterday was really bad In terms of the cross-examination for the prosecution. Today is much worse. I mean, here Pecker is saying that Trump didn’t want to purchase the story. Yesterday when he asked him about reimbursing Cohen, he said he didn’t know anything about that.”
...
“I think the defense is doing a very good job, but I have to say that this is collapsing on its own weight,” he added. “You just have to stand back and let it fall. Just asking simple questions that the jury would want to know has left serious damage for the prosecution. These are not strange tangential questions, these are questions you would’ve expected the prosecution to ask as just the completion of their line of questioning. Like was Donald Trump the only one you did this for, when did you start to do this?”
Despite Pecker’s testimony not damaging Trump, former federal prosecutor Andy McCarthy on Friday suggested Judge Juan Merchan’s friendliness toward Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg could lead to jury bias against the former president.
“It’s one thing to be watching the trial through the media, if you are watching it on our channel, you hear me. You hear Kerry Kupec, you hear Jonathan Turley talk about the weaknesses of the case,” McCarthy said. “The jury is not getting that filter. The jury is getting the district attorney’s version of events and taking its cues from a judge who has been very friendly to the district attorney. So if you’re watching this with legal commentary, you know they’re not really proving a conspiracy in there and don’t really have federal campaign finance in there. But I don’t know that the jury knows that.”



This case has already been decided. The jury is bought and paid for.
 
Not a stretch....the business financial crimes charged with, only involve the re- payment to Cohen for the hush money paid to Stormy.
Wow, talk about a stretch. Inflammatory descriptors aside, purchasing an account of an alleged affair in order to keep slander out of the news is hardly "hush money."
