100% bet you you're wrong.

He will not show remorse, true or otherwise. He is incapable of remorse. He will recycle his 5 word grievances of disgrace, rigged, disgrace, rigged. I am beginning to think a prison sentence is the only appropriate punishment.

Yep.

Exactly. Guess he knew NY juries better than some doom-sayers.

It's OK. Drink up!!! I'm drinking too!!

They bagged the biggest whale ever. Bigger than Gotti or Capone--both comparable to Felon Trump.

Good point by Andrew Weissman--this is vindication for Alvin Bragg. He was villified from all quarters, including some on our side.

Convicted felon Trump.

They want some testimony from Pecker read back.

Jury sends a note.

How did Blanche get away with saying Trump says he never slept with Daniels? Trump never took the stand. If I were the prosecutor I would have objected to that. ETA: I suppose he’ll address it in his argument, but he has to walk a fine line. He can’t argue that the defense had any burden. He has to...

The incomparable Jeff Tiedrich on the booing.

Can you expand? I agree that the cross was devastating but where do you think Costello committed perjury?

Just a quick note on Costello: i picked up a discussion point (on MTN?) that defendant lawyers did not want to question this guy but their paymaster insited on having him on the stand. :cantlook: I also saw that somewhere. Apparently Trump likes his attitude and thinks he is a "fighter."

Thank you. Pathetic showing by the defense vs. Sterngard's pathetic showing by the prosecution. We'll know soon enough who is right. I vote for pathetic showing by the defense.

That's what I saw. Blanche may have scored some points in his cross but I see absolutely no evidence that Cohen "flipped."

Hmmm. Thanks.

Another dumb question but I'm seeing bits and pieces of hints on the Internet that Cohen's testimony was disastrous on cross and/or that he "flipped" or something something. Anyone else seen this stuff?

Check out Fair Directions, a voter registration group working with tribes in Montana and Arizona. Over at the website Balloon Juice, they are raising money to support these native tribe voter registration efforts.

And Nevada.

Apparently Blanche repeatedly hammered the point that Cohen used to love Donald Trump. Wonder who was pleased by that line of questioning? MSNBC panel consensus that the cross "bombed" and "didn't land." OK, you would expect them to say that, but still......

Seeing reports that Keith Schiller (the bodyguard outside the door) may be the final witness.

I don't know who Chase Stokes is (with Kelsea Ballerini) but he is hot, says this old lady.

You said the prosecution wouldn't know where they were coming from. Suggested they would be blindsided and flabbergasted. I wondered why you would think that.

I think the prosecution is ready for anything that the defense tries to throw at them.

I will miss Root Beer and Biscuit and the 699th too. Do we know where the doggies ended up?

As much as I wish this case was a slam dunk, I appreciate stern’s insights into why it probably won’t be. I'm amazed at the comments here, other than yours. Almost no one is seriously discussing the evidence and how it fits with the burden the prosecution has, or the opportinuties the defense has t...

Jay Kuo's viewpoint. He thinks Hope Hicks' testimony helps sink Trump.
