      I’m not the biggest Trump fan. But now I fear if he doesn’t win, it will set the precedent that this “law fair”, is acceptable. 4 more years of Trump is by far better than living in a country of one party rule, that accepts the arrest of political opponents who are a threat to there status quo.

      I think it can be spun, but I think Trump gets the most benefit from the cases going forward but not actually resulting in convictions---that's the best of both worlds scenario that Trump's legal team have been trying to get for him to this point. You still get the optics of persecution if all these trials end with acquittals, but with convictions, you get the optics but also the pragmatic hassle of your candidate being a convicted felon, and in the election fraud case you may have to deal with a prison sentence. So its better to just have the optics without the results of conviction.

      @isheplatinum1218 Před 24 dny +4

      Out of curiosity, what crime do you think he committed? The main "crime" of falsification of business records requires a predicate crime. There is also the question of what was false about the business records. It was clearly a legal expense, even if it were entirely for the NDA,. an NDA is a legal expense. Cohen was clearly on retainer as he was doing work for Trump on various things that year as a lawyer and a retainer doesn't need to be formally written to be executed. As far as the predicate crime, they said NY election law, but that wouldn't have standing for a federal election, plus it requires that "illegal means" are used to influence the election. What were the "illegal means"? Were they FECA violation (absolutely not, because this type of NDA doesn't apply for that kind of thing, this has been tried before and always resulted in innocent findings), falsification of other business records (what other business records, none were alleged), or violation of state tax law (what codes, none were stated).
