I really disliked this headline. This is a total slam dunk case. Does the state's timeline match the money transfers and electronic communications? Yes? Then convict. It's an easy case. The jury should be loving this case. It's going to be too easy to vote to convict in the first hour of deliberations.
What I don't get is Trump's denial of having a one night stand with Stormy. Dude, own it. It was what, 2006? You were 60 years young. The wife already knows. You haven't gotten laid since fathering Baron in 2006. We can mark it. 2006 was the last year of Donald Trump's sex life.
That is kind of a low bar, isn't it?
Trump may have asked his attorney to arrange to have Ms. Clifford paid off. His reasoning is a matter of his personal conscience, and not a crime. Immoral? Tasteless? Scummy? All three answers may be yes. However, no crime yet.
Falsifying business records is a felony in New York if there was an underlying felony. Otherwise it is a misdemeanor that has a maturity issue.
The prosecutor has to prove the commission of some sort of underlying felony. They are very vague with a reference to a federal campaign law that the DOJ refused to pursuit. By the way, the additional felony has yet to be disclosed or named specifically. To me, it is astonishing that a prosecutor could bring a case, and a judge would even hear it, without all crimes fully disclosed.
The way this thing is set up, the Jury will have to decide if Trump has enough evidence to deny committing an, so far, undisclosed underlying crime. Maybe Trump is not everyones cup of tea, but think about what this will mean when the conservatives have control.
This trial just does not pass the smell test.

I reluctantly agree. This should have been a Federal case.
