The prosecution could just use your summary as their closing argument and it would be a slam dunk, imho.

Good stuff about a really really sick ex pres. Had that come out we wouldn’t be where we are today in terms of division, numbers of Covid dead, world standing, climate and women’s rights. The dystopian hellscape he caused because he hid his sick corrupt acts makes me extremely angry.

Great piece packed with key takeaways (let us not get distracted by grown men showing up in NYC wearing matching, “Trump-outfits”…

Thank you, as once again we are only seeing evidence of 'yeah I did it, what are you going to do about it?' and SCOTUS replies 'Nothing, that works for you, right?'. Expand the Court.

I think I remember Tristan being a solid legal resource from this old platform that used to be quite useful called Twitter. No doubt others will appreciate this nice & tight summary & breakdown.

Also, there are two lawyers on the jury that could clarify things during deliberations if need be. 😎

“So why the hell was Cohen also being paid as a 1099, as an independent contractor, supposedly for legal services, for an additional $35,000 per month throughout 2017?”

I’m no expert on NY law, but doesn’t giving a full time employee additional money as a compensation as an independent contractor violate wage and hour law? How would he even qualify as an independent contractor unless he had a separate office and separate clients while working full time for Trump.

What a set of “tells” and actions by “such a genius” of a … crook!

I do hope Alvin Bragg & Team gets to read this. It’ll help make a succinct and evidence backed summation. Along with the fact that Cohen didn’t have sex with Stormy - but he sure got screwed over.

The Only Reason he took out a loan in his own home, wasn’t because he was running for president or had an affair with a playboy bunny And adult film star That he (Cohen) needed to cover up. It was because trump Needed someone to do it because AMI Pecker wasn’t bankrolling another payout for DonTheDeranged!

Pecker must still have some real shit locked in a safe On tRump, because after Pecker testified how it went down with him & Cohen- and the Stormy payoff - yet ole DonTheDeranged called Pecker a fine guy, a nice guy.

Hmmmm makes me wonder why!
