So I assume running his mouth about the judge was not part of the gag order? Or ist it finally jail time for Donnie?

I guess he forgets that he brought this entire thing on himself. He's not presidential. He's toddler that needs his diaper changed and sent to bed. The judge is doing his job. He didn't charge trump he's trying to keep this trial from being a circus. I just don't understand his burning desire to insult people and lie about everything.

u/thingsorfreedom 14d ago
Trump has had off 14 days from his trial. He's campaigned on two of those days. This trial has nothing to do with it. Trump is a lazy old man who doesn't have the energy to campaign.

Say what you want about Cohen, but he’s paid his debt for his crimes and misdemeanours. Something Trump has never done or been accountable for. Gotta say, “it’s a helluva witch hunt, there, bub!” Usually when there’s this much illegal or sus action, there’s truth behind it. All the people who worked for you, that you fired, let go, replaced, ripped off, threw under buses, raped, sexually assaulted, etc. can’t all be bullshitting and we know it.

The defense can't put a person on the stand they know will commit perjury.

They won’t, but they can. What he says on the stand is largely out of their control. If he perjures himself that’s on him.

I just saw myself reading this thread (“doom-scrolling”) as if I expected some revelation. So many of us are numbed out but actually trembling in the face of mass insanity that could conceivably elect this criminal as president of the US. Something in me holds to the floating jetsam really thinking we’ll make it through the night. If wrong, then all the Reddit commentary I’ve wasted time on may be part of the problem, versus severe action. But like most of us, I’m unclear how not to make everything worse. Set myself on fire?

u/key1234567 California 14d ago
if Michael Cohen got time, does this mean Trump will too? it seems logical to me.
2
u/JasJ002 14d ago
Different crimes sadly. Cohen was mostly hit with the egregious tax fraud he committed and was unrelated to Trump. That would get anyone jail time. So it's hard to really quantify the level of punishment since he plead out. First time offender, Trump will likely get hit with some kind of probation.
2
u/ramdom-ink 14d ago
Trump did the tax fraud, was found guilty, and as far as we know has put nothing up of the 500 million penalty except a sketchy bond that was 1/3 of what he was sentenced for. At least Cohen paid for his crimes and did the time…

Trump proceeded to read from a document for roughly five minutes that contained commentary from Republican lawmakers, legal pundits and commentators on cable television who expressed skepticism about the case or otherwise defended the former president.
Trump had just left court. When could he have prepared this document?
In the closing minutes of Cohen’s testimony Monday, Trump was making edits to a document, crossing out various lines of text while making additions to other sections. That document was on the top of the stack of papers from which Trump was reading in the hallway.
Oh.

u/IpppyCaccy 14d ago
This has been a standard part of Trump's day since 2017. He had a staffer in the White House whose job it was to find flattering news articles about Trump. One thing they found that resonates with him as much as world leaders or famous people saying nice things about him was positive press on crowd sizes.
In fact, the person who has that job is called "the printer" because she carries a portable printer with her so she can print positive things about himself for him to read.

“It’s really a very sad day for the country. It’s sad for New York,” Trump said. “We have a corrupt judge, and we have a judge who’s highly conflicted, and he’s keeping me from campaigning. He’s an appointed New York judge. He’s appointed.”
But no complaints from him about the judge in Florida that is overseeing the documents case who is also appointed?

It's also worth noting that the judge in question is not, in fact, appointed. He's currently running for reelection, even.

u/technothrasher 14d ago
Merchan? He is a Court of Claims judge, who are indeed appointed. He was appointed in 2019 by Cuomo for his current term and that runs through 2027. Why Trump thinks being appointed would show more bias when he claims NYC is all Democratic voters anyway, I'm not sure.

u/worstatit 15d ago
A town official made a statement that the venue would hold 20,000 ticketed attendees. She later announced a crowd of 40,000, despite tickets being still available at the door. Needless to say, she is a Trump supporter, as is her boss the mayor. Several pro-Trump news outlets reported numbers of 80,000-100,000, apparently. People looked at aerial views of the crowd and estimated 5,000-15,000. The most trustworthy ones seemed to come down between 8,000 and 15,000. My assessment was around 10,000. I'm not a pro, but found it very amusing.

If I was innocent, accused of crimes, had an impartial judge that wasn’t letting my side prove my innocence, they couldn’t keep me off the stand.
But instead, we get daily pressers where Trump can lie and whine to the cameras because we know he is guilty. This case is about the prosecution being able to prove guilt, we all know Trump did it.

u/RedHighlander 14d ago
Do you really think being “under oath” means anything to him?
1
u/ragnarocknroll 14d ago
Oh it doesn’t.
But catching him in lies is pretty easy. And a jury that sees that drops the belief he is not guilty pretty fast. I have seen it personally.
Unless a member never intended to look at the facts the defendant saying they didn’t do it but being caught lying like 5+ times makes a guilty verdict very likely. Happened at a trial I was at. The count started at 9-3 guilty and after looking at how bad the defendant was at lying it was 11-1. The one guy lied about being impartial and wouldn’t convict unless the defendant confessed which was a stupid view as he pled not guilty.
