Cohen is very much like Trump. No self control. Blanche is sticking it to him and Cohen is decompensating.
If Blanche does this too much the jury will start to feel sorry for Cohen.

Bragg Manhattan DA charges tfg? Hush money. tfg “INDICATED!”
In his testimony (post conviction) to Congress, Cohen said he even lied to Melania about the payoff. From the excited reporting on MSNBC today I didn't hear where he covered that in his testimony; quite the opposite. It will be strange is the prosecution doesn't cover it. Maybe they have and the re...

Rest easy, Pappy. Six weeks before election day Trump's support will collapse and we will see states like Florida and North Carolina become Biden Country.

Business records? This was a personal transaction. As recorded by a business. If it was truly personal, it shouldn't have been recorded by a business. This is a case about stupid greed.

I asked Google what a "business record" was in New York state. First, I found the statute: 8.08 Business Records (CPLR 4518). The first paragraph of the statute provides: (a) Generally. Any writing or record, whether in the form of an entry in a book or otherwise, made as a memorandum or ...

Your way out, if taken, will only apply to some of the accounts, I think. Aren’t some of the checks were written on Trump Org or Trump Trust accounts? Yes. Some were from his revocable trust. But a revocable trust is merely a different way for an individual to hold and control money or assets. http...

As for the cross of Stormy Daniels, either Trump's lawyer does not know about the rule never to ask a witness a question to which you don't know the answer (unlikely), or her idiot client insisted she get tough (likely) and she simply got tangled up in trying to make the witness look bad. Stormy Da...

To be very charitable: the argument likely will be: 1. It never happened, Daniels is an extortionist, and it was a business decision to kill a fake story. 2. 3. Ergo, not a fraudulent business record! It is a spaghetti defense (throw it against the wall and see what sticks) intended to create (&quo...

Business records being falsified are charged in the indictment. This case is not being tried to Justice Merchan in the first instance, but to a jury. If I were defense counsel I would mention the personal account on which Trump wrote personal checks as often as possible. Plant the seed. Some juror ...

Please help me out here. If most of those checks were written on Trump's personal account, how are they business records? That may be a defense to many/most of the criminal counts.

I am suggesting there are several areas where the defense can plant seeds and try to nurture them into doubts. It's not easy to find "devastating" questions. In a criminal case (and I had some early in my career) you want to plant seeds that can become doubts. In civil cases the defense wi...

In California the $35,000 a month paid by Trump to Cohen could be considered a "true retainer" which, to be considered "earned," requires no work, only Cohen's promise to be available. See, for example, California Rule of Professional Conduct Rule 1.5(d), which provides as follo...

Despite all the excited commentary on MSNBC and CNN, without Weisselberg's testimony there is no way to convict Trump without Michael Cohen testifying that Trump knew or was the architect of the scheme for the $420,000 repayment -- and Cohen being believed. That Trump was a micromanager, that nothin...

The theory of the DA: Business records (which no one would ever see) were falsified to cover up another crime (both state and Federal election campaign violations). I wouldn't blame jurors for asking "why wasn't Trump indicted for state election campaign violations?" And acquitting Trump o...

If the case had been better tried, the jury may not have nullified (if that’s what it was). Too also: The case was tried in the downtown courthouse, not the courthouse closest to the murder scene. While the downtown courthouse has superior security, a different courthouse may have resulted in a dif...

Trump's defense is pretty simple, and may be hidden in the forest of evidence. Cohen: "We'll have to pay something." Trump: "[unintelligible] pay with cash." Cohen: "No, no, no, no, no. I got it." So if Blanche argues in closing that had Trump paid in cash, as he wante...

When the charges were filed I observed that there was no conspiracy charged. In the opening statement the prosecutor tells the jury that there was a conspiracy among Pecker, Trump and Cohen.

Bragg has ignored (by failing to charge) the conspiracy among Trump, Pecker, Cohen and Weisselberg. He hasn't charged Trump's attempt to consummate that conspiracy by paying the Enquirer's owners for the Karen McDougal "story." He has ignored the fact that Trump used the Trump Organizatio...
