According to Harris Faulkner of Fox News, the prosecution finally told us what crime Donald Trump committed. She said that the crime “came from Cohen making an excessive campaign contribution” by paying Stormy Daniels and then getting reimbursed. The payment was to influence the election.
Faulkner pointed out that the defense proved Cohen’s motivation was to protect Trump’s family, not influence the election. Several witnesses attested to that.
She added that the prosecution claims they don’t have to prove Trump committed a crime, only that he had the ‘intent’ to defraud or violate the law.
Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton was exonerated for actual crimes because the FBI allegedly couldn’t possibly determine her intent.
It sounds like they’re looking for a thought crime. We’re officially Orwellian. Donald Trump didn’t have to commit fraud. He just needed to have the intent.
This is crazy. It’s a dumpster fire. Hopefully, even a Manhattan jury won’t buy it.
Watch:
John Roberts posted, “It is more nuanced than that. All 12 need unanimity that Trump committed a crime. But the underlying unlawful means is a smorgasbord they can pick from – and they don’t all need to agree on what it was.”
This means that there must still be a unanimous guilty verdict, but the jurors do not have to be unanimous about the actual offense. There are three to choose from, and all 12 jurors don’t have to agree, just so long as there are 12 votes overall. I’m told that’s New York law in these cases.
There is still no underlying crime.
How does the “jury” know what Trump intended. Are they psychics? No one is safe if juries are allowed to convict based on what they think someone is thinking. I’m just sick that my country has been turned into a socialist toilet.
I once intended to pull off a massive raid on Fort Knox, sobered up and decided not to, or , forgot or something. Indict me.
I frequently see women whom I view as quite physically attractive. E. Jean Carol is not one of them. Should I be arrested and charged with intending to rape them?

Yesterday, May 29, Rasmussen Reports posted poll results which determined that 66% of Dems support the FBI’s “use of lethal force” during the Mar-a-Lago raid. Everyday, it becomes clearer that this country is suffering from “irreconcilable differences”! It’s time for the Right to seriously consider divorcing the Left. We have nothing in common other than the land we co-habit. Land… Read more »
Satan has been a liar and a murderer since the beginning. Satan’s a democrat.
The only crime has been committed by the New York prosecution: election interference.
Every hour the libs can keep him off the campaign trail is a win . I think the whole world knows that all of the charges will be overturned on appeal. If the judge shows his ass and puts him in jail he will be a hero to the libs. He should be disbarred and all the people involved should… Read more »
