BJ and cigar is a good story but not nearly as salacious. LOL! A cigar up the coochie in the Oval Office beats anything Stormy has disclosed.

Better than a 19 yo boy right? but the intern, not something i would do. Maybe when I was a resident... I have no idea what Hilly looking like now has anything to do with what she looked like 25 years ago. Much less what a 19 year old boy has to do with anything. Edited April 2, 2023 by Doc

daz28 Posted April 2, 2023 Posted April 2, 2023 If the NY case is basically the same as the federal case, then they've made a massive mistake here. Imagine the defense waltzing in 5 federal prosecutors, with a combined 100 years of experience into the courtroom, introducing them and their credentials to the jury, then asking the simple question of, "why didn't you choose to prosecute these charges?". I can't think of any possible answer they could give other than that they didn't feel that it rose to the level of a crime. Bragg better hope he has EXTREMELY solid evidence and witnesses to overcome what Trump's team is CERTAIN to do.
T&C Posted April 2, 2023 Posted April 2, 2023 Not an us or them question but how can someone be indicted without knowing what it actually is?

The grand jury indictment is sealed, and they will present it to Trump at arraignment. It's possible they've already presented it, but doubtful that information wouldn't have been leaked already. It would be wiser for the prosecution to wait. 1

There could be a few legal issues, but I'm no expert. Ill wait, and listen to the "experts" after the arraignment. I imagine Bragg's team believes the judge would allow the SoL part. He couldn't possibly be dumb enough to allow the DOJ's office to be the defenses star experts, could he? 6 minutes ago, T&C said: Thanks... just seems bizarre that someone can be charged with something without knowing what they are being charged with.

In times like these it’s helpful to remember that there is often a difference between what is disclosed to the parties versus what is disclosed to the public. It is likely that Trump’s lawyers know more about the charges than we do. Of course the talking heads need to fill the airtime, so we’ll have just rampant speculation between now and when the indictment is unsealed. My suggestion: we can assume there is at least one charge of falsifying business records and one other charge of a different crime. Reporting is that there are 30+ charges including at least one felony. But beyond that, just sit tight and wait for the actual indictment to be released before wading too far into speculation and predictions.

There are different ways that the statute of limitations might extend (called “tolling”) including the unavailability doctrine mentioned above. Another is the continuing wrong doctrine. In this Trump case, if the payments to Cohen to reimburse him for paying Daniel’s was in installments, the statute of limitations would run from the date of the last payment. That is, each new payment resets the statute of limitations. So if the prosecution has evidence that the payments to Cohen continued into early 2018, that would be another way to satisfy the statute of limitations. 1

I think that is a pretty solid assumption. They may have provided his attorneys with a summary (i.e. “We are looking at five charges of X, three of Y, etc.). In any case, we’ll all know on Tuesday.
daz28 Posted April 2, 2023 Posted April 2, 2023 10 minutes ago, BillStime said: This just means that the script is already written, without any intent to focus on the actual charges and evidence. Very predictable. Heck, they could just read it tonight, because it's going to be exactly what he's already tweeted reiterated, plus a talking point or two that's been added. I seriously hope the judge puts a lid on the nonsense aspect of this fast. 2

At this point the media isn't swaying independents anymore. If there's anything political about it, it's probably that they want to keep Trump busy in court, rather than running a campaign. If that's true, then dirty politics just got dirtier. I really don't fear the rogue prosecutor thing, though. It won't do anyone's reputation any good to lose, and these rich politicians have stolen enough money from us to have a defense, that we could only dream of. No sympathy for them there, and it might be refreshing if they actually cared about getting caught and prosecuted.
