Heβs charged with falsifying business records to cover up a crime.
An unspecified crime. Has that even been revealed in testimony or evidence?
Would any crime do? Murder? Robbing a bank? Jaywalking?
Doesn't matter. It's a political trial. Stefanik has even filed a complaint that the judge was hand-picked.
They don't care about the application of the law, they only care about a conviction. Even knowing that multiple grounds exist for that conviction to be overturned, from a goofy bootstrapping of state law into federal law, selective prosecution, inability to obtain a fair trial, the denial of expert witnesses for the defense, the introduction of non-bearing salacious testimony, the weird jury instructions...It all points to a political show trial.
Americans can only hope that this current season of lawfare backfires spectacularly. Nothing breeds avoidance in American politics as knowing your tactics will get you savaged at the ballot box.

Beat me to it. The Jury requested 20 minutes thirty minutes ago. Merchan is back on the bench. Should be any minute.

Unfrigging believable.

Told ya. It's a political trial.
They shredded the law, fixed the trial and pissed on the Constitution.
Payback is hell and the stupid-ass Demonrat zealots have opened a door best left shut.
It's now open season on ex-Presidents.

Dont worry guys, itβs not over until the Fat Guy goes to Sing Sing.

Still a NY Appellate Court, no? What makes you think it would be any better?

After sentencing I imagine.
Do we know when that is?
