None of that proves Trump ordered any accounting illegalities does it? š¤£
It all strongly indicates Trump obviously ordered it, then if you believe Cohens testimony, it proves it beyond reasonable doubt.
Itās up to the jury now.
In other words you believe Trump ordered it, but can't prove it.
That means not guilty.

I have heard very little to nothing from the defense table that directly refutes almost anything the prosecution has placed into evidence.
In my opinion, that does not bode well for the defense.
I agree.
The witnesses lied is not much of a defense.
Of course you would believe convicted, pathological liars with delusions of grandeur.
The judge instructed the jury to be cautious about Cohen's testimony and to make a decision based upon the uncontested facts of the case.
I'd suspect from that, there is strong evidence not based upon witness testimony, such as: recordings, notes, receipts and account transactions.
I'd go with guilty.
You suspect? LoL
Where have you been?
The only āevidenceā against Trump was Cohens lies.
Thatās it.
Nothing else was contested.
You have a disbarred convicted liar who during testimony lied again and again regarding materially important facts.
Nothing he says can be taken as fact.
Thereās at least one juror in that room that is using their head.
Theyāve asked for the instructions and other things.
Itās kind of telling whatās going in those deliberations.
Iām happy youāll never be on a jury here in the states. Stick to the sheep shearing Oliver.
What of Peckler's evidence?
Trump is a notorious 'penny pincher' but he was paying Cohen $35k per month. Why?
The fact you even had to ask why contradicts your assertion that this is evidence of the crime (because it's not.) If you don't know what it means, it's not evidence of anything. An open question isn't evidence.
And all the money that everyone splashed out with. Amounts that we know came from the Trump organization and campaign, and are on record. In whose interest were they?
A lot of money was flowing in and out of a company? Gee, groundshaking "evidence" that is.
And there are recordings of Trump and texts taken from Cohen's phone:
Jurors hear secret recording of Trump and Michael Cohen allegedly discussing hush money payment
This isn't even about the Daniels payment.
Massive fail.

The jury were provided with three possible predicate crimes to consider: 1.) Covering up tax fraud; 2.) Covering up campaign finance violations; and 3.) Covering up promoting Trump's campaign through unlawful means.

You'd have to prove 1 of those...and their case did no such thing...nor has he been charged much less convicted of any of that.

The court case is about Trump's alleged falsification of business records. It isn't just about the payments to Daniels.
Itās about him paying off these women without needing to report it to the election commission and so there wasnāt a paper Trail back to him.
As the story goes, the access Hollywood tapes came up, which Trump and his team considered a disaster for his election campaign. So they hired Pecker to ācatch an killā any negative stories about Trump, not illegal, but kind of dishonest. But then for whatever reason when Stormy Daniels came around Pecker refused to ācatch and killā it, so Trump needed a new way to pay this women off so that it couldnāt be connected back to him personally. So Cohen payed her off himself.
Fast forward to when Trump was elected President, he got sloppy and personally reimbursed Cohen for the hush many, since his president now and canāt charged for it.
Thatās what happenedā¦ but now his not POTUS and can be charged and convicted for it, which Trump thinks is unfair.

But Trump didn't make any payments at all to either girl. Cohen did and he tried to hide it. š¤£š¤£š¤£
But I totally believe Cohen, been watching his pod casts for months and seen him talk about it and I honestly think his telling the truth here.

But Trump reimbursed Cohen, grossed up to cover taxes.
If Trump didnāt know he was doing something wrong, then why didnāt he just pay Cohen back and call it a reimbursement, which wouldnāt need to be grossed up to cover taxes? Since you donāt have to pay taxes if someone just pays you back.
