It’s reasonable. I doubt she was in a lot of movies with morbidly obese 60 year olds. Probably more like 25 year old plumbers and pizza delivery guys.

But if it is that bad and there was all this evdience, they were talking about impeachment. From my understand, you dont need the senate to do that.
Mayorkas was impeached. The Senate refused a trial because the charges were unfounded.

Why havent they brought impeachment against President Biden?

Heard one judge say that the prosecution really put the brakes on some of the Louisiana whore's testimony, after she started to infer the sex was not completely voluntary. There was a legal term used (which I can't remember) that meant that if Daniels was testifying she was raped, the trial could be immediately dismissed.
Also, I noticed the prosecution had subpoenaed McDougal, but decided not to put her on the stand.

Sounds to me that the defense has a good case for appeal based on the Weinstein verdict. Lots of prejudicial testimony from Clifford and Pecker.
"Trump's an asshole."
Yup, now tell me what that has to do with the actual charge.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

An accounting error bootstrapped into a felony? After we've entered into fantasy world, relevancy is whatever the Bragg Boys tell the judge it is.

Yup.
Occasionally impolite, that is the basis for most of the case against Mr. Trump.
And, of course, the morbidity thing. Sadly, fat people still have no Constitutional Rights.

I don't see how this can even be tried without the Federal charge.

We should ask a president of the FEC if he has any idea if election laws were broken...

This is in fact a bogus case. As I said from the beginning I wish it hadn’t been brought.
The Georgia case is falling apart due to prosecutorial misconduct. That leaves the Florida documents case, and there are serious evidentiary problems with how the FBI handled the documents and how the evidence was presented to the press, the public, and presented in prosecution.

You folks really need to get over the question of whether a federal election law has been broken.
The established answer is simply "yes." Michael Cohen pleaded guilty and served jail time for it -- the federal crime has already been established.
This NY state "hush money trial" now is just trying to establish a connection between Trump "falsifying business records" and the federal crime for which Cohen served jail time.

You seem to be confusing Cohen with Trump. Cohen’s been convicted of a federal crime. Trump? No. In the US we have a concept of innocence until proven guilt. Trump has not been convicted, therefore is granted the presumption of innocence. These charges start with the assumption of guilt. That doesn’t fly in the US, and the legal precedent is against him being convicted on the Federal charges.

One "analyst" claims that there doesn't have to be a federal crime, only the intent to commit such crime - in this case, establishing an NDA to influence an election - which occurred before the NDA was paid out.
