Paper trail to jail? Defendant Trump faces ‘affair’ receipts at criminal trial

The news driving this Trump

trial

is simple, you don't have to be a news junkie, a lawyer or a psychologist to understand what is driving the

trial

of the accused Trump and why prosecutors, according to many headlines, have made progress with the jury in this case. The reason and we saw this in court yesterday is the

receipts

from this trial, which deals with a lot of different issues and questions about witness credibility and political intrigue and all kinds of things, is currently working against Trump as a

defendant

because there are so many

receipts

that the receipts include the avalanche of emails and secret texts and NDAs and as I mentioned last night, yesterday I was inside the courtroom in one of the rare and coveted reporter seats and I can tell you that we also saw along with the sworn actual literal receipts of the legal written contracts of this An entire orderly plan to buy The silence of the women who had accusations against Trump during the campaign season and the accusations that he and his allies tried to hide directly in that campaign year It's a pile of

paper

work that is essentially burying the accused Trump's main defenses.

Now remember the first one. Last week, Trump's lawyers detailed these certain Trump defenses, they were basically factual denials and I remind you what they said, it's very simple, the first two are these types of factual denials that nothing happened, he didn't. did or, if something happened, his lawyer Cohen. He did it right these receipts are destroying that type of denial and that really helps the DA's case. It also does something more strategic and I told them that we are going to experience this trial together, the first historic trial of a former president and we are going to learn things as we go, so what we heard a month ago about what it was going to be like was kind of projection based on some evidence but now we're seeing how it works and some of it is just interesting even though the

defendant

is presumed innocent even though he could still skate into a mistrial with a hung jury but I can tell you legally that the prosecutor is moving forward with that jury that I saw yesterday and that is because they are doing something strategic.

To tell you right now what the way you're treating this case is to help the jury see the facts, the core facts, that Trump had this story, that he made these kinds of silence purchases and that he did it for campaign-related reasons. . We're making the jury see those kinds of facts as possibly proven true before they even hear from these star witnesses who, we're told, are such big names that even if you don't follow politics, most people have now heard of of them, like Michael Cohen. and Stormy Daniels, why would you put your star up so late?

Well, we are seeing the strategic reason. If those Jury Witnesses end up feeling more like an afterthought, if they're just kind of the proverbial icing on this receipt cake, then the prosecutor has a strategy to basically show the jury that we already proved this was correct and you saw the results. receipts and you saw all the double connections, you saw the lawyer on one side and the other admit the same thing and you saw the receipt and you saw the NDA and you saw that Trump paid for it, so your plain language argument to the jury is that It doesn't even matter if Trump's defense attorney attacks some of those Witnesses, it doesn't matter because you already knew what happened, no.

It doesn't matter to the Core case that the already confirmed receipts are what the prosecutor argues and the jury is seeing that

paper

trail

, so I'll explain why this is important. Now I'll show you some of this in the weeds as a 2017. An email from a White House aide requests specific labels for the checks the president just signed for Cohen, so this signature shows it and the AIDS code shows it. I knew and all the funds point to the same thing. Didn't Trump return Cohen inflated money? amount for the secret deals, that's the money part, as Criminal Intent prosecutors want to prove that Trump's driving motivation was this off-the-books campaign crime and they are again trying to prove that before Cohen goes up to the plate. stand, so if Michael Cohen says it was It was clear that it was about committing a campaign crime and doing it off the books and that's what he pleaded guilty to and Trump's lawyers say, but who believes this guy and these These are the reasons why you shouldn't do it.

The jury will be informed through the receipts. and everything else, you don't need Cohen for this, remember everything we showed you at the beginning of the trial and, like other things in life, many people feel that what they get first is more important now in the campaign part, both Trump like Clinton. They got their party's nominations in June, the campaign politics ran from June until October 16, when I should say, excuse me, October 7, '16, when the Access Hollywood tape came out, that's when the jury saw that this women's lawyer sent a text message. The editor of the investigation, Trump, is angry, the person in charge of the investigation responds by waving the White Flag, it's over, that was the mental state of the same people who made these secret agreements and it was in that month that there was nervousness because Cohen was trying to get away from paying anything and prosecutors reveal how Cohen responded to that lawyer.

I mentioned my guys in five states today three or four four or five different states there's nothing I can do. I'm doing my best with some expletives too the point is to think about it There's nothing Cohen could do because he needed Donald Trump's personal approval and if he was flying across five different states and in the air or on stage, You literally couldn't get to him and if you couldn't get to him, he could. Not signing that undermines what Trump's defense lawyers will tell you, the denial I told you about, well maybe Cohen did it all on his own or maybe you can't believe what Cohen says since he got in trouble, the receipt showing the text at the time secretly before they had any idea any of this would be made public this way the Cohen story verifies what they are going to tell the jury here and again I'm not quoting this part yet this is what you would get in a closing argument, but that's what they're basically setting up to tell the jury that you don't have to believe anything Cohen said this year, you just have to believe the texts because that's what they said then, because are real. and this is a court the judge tells the jury what evidence they should examine that is what is admissible the defense lawyers cannot know fake news as they do perhaps in the electoral campaign and say oh those texts were invented and they are false and not , they're not even allowed to say that kind of thing because it would be complicated to do so, so the texts show the problem now.

The court was dark today like most Wednesdays, so this defendant could campaign in the Midwest. trip we can mention that he will be back in court tomorrow there will be another gag order hearing with new alleged violations, this has more at stake after the judge warned that

jail

time is a possible penalty for violations, you see the judge's drawing at the bank, he said. that from the court, as well as in its written order determining that Trump lost the gag order Clash, will not tolerate deliberate violations if necessary will impose a

jail

er will punish the punishment incarceration jail the judge stands firm while preventing the defendant Trump's efforts to try to bend over and turn it into a big circus clash, in fact, the judge even delayed dealing with the gag order longer than he could, as we can see, because he said, let's show everyone that this is about showing the defendant.

Trump's allies are trying to take this $9,000 fine and turn it into the biggest injustice of the decade. They are presenting what is legally a fairly measured response from the judge as something more. Now remember others. The defendants have been jailed before trial for lesser violations of a gag order than we've seen here, which included lying about the judge's daughter and persecuting Witnesses, so this was a legally measured response, now people could debate whether they like it or not. you walk down the street and people say

trump

is getting his way again, it should have been a tougher response, other people may say they shouldn't even fight because what does $9,000 mean?

You can have that debate, but as a matter of fact, this was a measured response from the judge, any lawyer, anyone with a trial history would tell you that, but in some quarters they are treating it as some kind of out of control judicial threat, a fine of $99,000 for contempt. I predict you, Harris, there will never be a bigger fundraiser. moment for Donald Trump than this, they are threatening to send the Republican presidential candidate to jail for talking to Harris for speaking during an election. Now I'm not a lawyer, I just do one on TV, but according to the joke, you could have Loch Ness. monster as a jury and Trump can't say the Loch Ness monster is real, that's a $1,000 boom right there, it really helps you get your head around it.

Can you follow that analogy perfectly objectively? That would be what you just heard. A misleading interpretation of this Gagor, but. Beyond conservative media, it's also worth noting how news of the trial continues to surface. We are seeing it in the newspapers. We are seeing it in local coverage. We are seeing it as the big problem. It is unprecedented. I do not say that. I mean it's automatically bad for Donald Trump if everyone knows he's on trial in New York City and he's skating with a hung jury, it might sound like some kind of comeback, but I'm just telling you what the foxes are saying that somehow there's a judge out of control and for good measure he makes a little reference to the Ness monster, that's not necessarily the way it's happening in the rest of the country and there are a lot of jokes on the internet and on the night about the loss of Trump's gag order.

I know $99,000 may not seem like a lot to a successful businessman, but what about Trump? The judge also told Trump that if he continues to violate the gag order he could lock him up. Milani said, "Don't let the judge tell you what to do." he keeps raping, he's a man, the judge found Trump in contempt and found him $99,000 for violating his gag order nine times Trump said, but I get the tenth, free, right, people know what's going on, this trial is moving forward , I can't tell you what. the result will be and I am not going to tell you if the result is good or bad when it happens because in the rule of law what we seek is real justice, which means that you will have a fair trial, not one that is hijacked by threats of violence or by the antics of the accused or other external pressure, but then if you finish a fair trial, the result is the product of that fair trial, no one will be happy with any of the results, that's why we try to have a transparent Fair trial with the rule of law I can tell you as a fact that this defendant is opposed to that kind of thing both for himself and for others.

I can tell you about the history we have lived, but it is a hallmark of civilized society. The society of civilization that we want to be is not what we always are, that we grant those rights to everyone, regardless of who they are and whether they are part of the unfortunate group of people who would not grant those rights to others. I could say that legally it's a Michelle Obama type of rule: you go very high and you stay high no matter what.
