"Lock her up!"

This has been going on for a while.

HeffyB is outraged I tells ya.

Jeffy still lying....

"Prosecutors argue that the other crime in this case was violating state election law 17-152 " conspiracy to promote or prevent an election.

That law makes it a misdemeanor when two or more people "conspire to promote or prevent the election of any person to a public office by unlawful means.

Prosecutors have said in court that the "unlawful means" at issue in Trump's case were a violation of federal campaign law " meaning that the charges against the presumptive GOP presidential nominee are really a three-step process." more

You don't grok what the judge said... the jury has the state law, the testimony of Trump's already convicted accomplice (on the same charges), and the witness and documentary corroboration of that testimony.

They don't need the POLITICAL FEC investigation where the vote was a partisan 2-2 vote.... as you have already been told ad infinitum.

You are just trolling.

HeffyB wants you to buh-lieve that the hush money payment just before the election had nothing to do with the election.

Fortunately, the NY Jury isn't that stupid, and may well see it as a potential 'intended' violation election laws of NY state law.

Which is enough to convict Trump of the most of the 30-something indictments.

Idiot, liar, or both?

"The ex-fixer also told jurors that Melania Trump again came up days later, during negotiations to pay porn actor Stormy Daniels $130,000 to stay quiet about an alleged affair with Trump, which he denies. Cohen said he asked Trump "how's things going to go upstairs," referring to the future first lady.

"'Don't worry,' he goes," Cohen said of Trump. "He goes: How long do you think I will be on the market for? Not long.'"

The comment bolstered the district attorney's office's claim that the payment to Daniels was tied to the campaign - not to concerns that Melania or Trump's family would be embarrassed, as Trump's lawyers have suggested."

In the final weeks before the 2016 election, Cohen learned that Daniels was shopping her story to tabloids. It was a pivotal moment for the Trump campaign, which was reeling from the release of an audio recording from the TV show "Access Hollywood" in which Trump bragged about grabbing women's --------.

"He said to me, This is a disaster, a total disaster. Women are going to hate me,' Cohen, wearing a dark suit and pink tie, testified Trump had said.

"Guys, they think it's cool, but this is going to be a disaster for the campaign.'"

"Former Trump fixer and attorney Michael Cohen testified in court earlier in the day that Trump appeared unfazed by his wife's potential response to learning of his alleged 2006 sexual encounter with porn actor Stormy Daniels. Trump is accused of falsifying business documents during the 2016 election to cover up a payment for Daniels' silence. Trump denies the claims.

Cohen said Trump told him when they were arranging the payment, "How long do you think I'll be on the market for? Not long."

Cohen said Trump "wasn't thinking about Melania" and that the alleged scheme was "all about the campaign."

"------ told the jury he agreed to be the "eyes and ears" of Trump's campaign, looking out for damaging stories so they could be suppressed. He said he agreed to the role " and to a plan to publish positive stories about Trump and negative stories about his opponents " at an August 2015 meeting with Trump and Cohen."

"------ testified that the company squashed one potential story by paying $30,000 to a Trump Tower doorman. It paid $150,000 to former Playboy model Karen McDougal, to keep her from going public with a claim that she had had a yearlong affair with Trump.

But when Daniels came forward, ------ said, he told Howard: "I am not a bank, and we are not paying out any further disbursements or monies."

Instead, he alerted Cohen that Daniels was shopping a story about Trump, and let the lawyer handle it. Trump denies having sex with either McDougal or Daniels.

When The Wall Street Journal reported, just days before Election Day, that the Enquirer had paid McDougal, ------ said Trump was upset, saying, "How could this happen? I thought you had this under control?"

"A lawyer known for representing people trying to sell celebrity sex tapes or other embarrassing information, Davidson negotiated the hush money deals for McDougal and Daniels.

He gave jurors an inside look at the negotiations and helped corroborate ------- testimony.

At first, Davidson said, the National Enquirer was not interested in acquiring McDougal's story, saying she "lacked documentary evidence." But the tabloid eventually bought it at ------- behest.

Davidson said he understood it would never be published because of "an unspoken understanding that there was an affiliation" between ------ and Trump and that the National Enquirer would not run the story "because it would hurt Donald Trump."

Yep... and all it takes is one for a hung jury, which is a likely outcome.

But a lot of people will have no excuse now for not knowing what kind of a person he really is.
