    Just following along with the current testimony, I would be shocked if he was found guilty now. The porn stars attorney at the time is saying the payment was not "hush money". He insists it was a "consideration" payment which is defined as a legal contractual payment. And Trump classified it as a legal expense. All the other BS about a conspiracy is fluff. He's not being charged with conspiracy.

    And defendant are generally allowed to speak freely in their defense. Gagging the defendant is just dumb. If he does get convicted, that in itself will bode well in his favor when he says he didn't get a fair trial. Michael Cohen is publicly blasting Trump. If the gag order would apply, it should be to witnesses.

    In a nutshell, he is violating the gag order and probably will continue to do so, because he always has to have the last word.
    Maybe he will talk crap about the Judge's daughter again, I am sure that will work out great for him.
    Trump is going to do Trump stuff, why act surprise when he gets fines for doing exactly what the Judge told him not to do?
    I think he will be found not guilty in this case, despite him trying to aid the prosecutor every chance he gets

    He won't be found guilty or not guilty.

    It'll be a hung jury.

    Closing arguments complete. Time for the jury to deliberate. I don't know how he could be found guilty but a jury in another liberal state decided OJ wasn't guilty either.

    How many hours before the guilty verdict comes back? The judge’s parameters placed on the jury will not allow a not guilty for sure. I don’t see hung jury. Too many charges.

    I hope Robert DeNiro comes back today so the Trump supporters can dish out more verbal abuse.



    Has to be the worst campaign idea ever.

    All it takes is one to hang the jury! Course the judge has all but said we know where you live, and if you dont convict you can anticipate a audit from the IRS, possibly the ATF knocking your door down at 3am and shooting you and your dog like they did the dude in Little Rock. You know what we did to a former president....the DOJ was willing to shoot it out with the SS, just who do you think you are???? You better convict bad orange man!
    Yup, he's crazy...


    like a fox. The dude may be coming in a little too hard and crazy but 90% of everything he says is correct.

    Sort of like Toof. But way smarter.

    Judge: To convict Trump of felonies, jury does not need to unanimously agree on what 'predicate' crime he committed

    Holy shit, they gonna sentence him to prison! Appeal needs to be tomorrow!!!!

    What a joke. I guess the judge's daughter is a Veruca Salt kinda girl. Daddy, I want a conviction and I want a conviction now.

    This is completely rigged. The judges instructions to the jury are ridiculous. Now it is just a matter of what he gets convicted of, and what the sentence will be.

    Regardless of the result of this kangaroo court, if I was elected president, Bragg and Merchan would both be indicted on federal election interfearence.

    One juror has been observed nodding when the defense makes a point. The juror has also made eye contact with the defense. The rest has failed to do any of that.

    This whole trial is a travesty and an embarrassment to the judiciary and its officers across the country.

    You can't imagine the depth of depravity I would go seeking revenge on these democrats if I were Trump.
