How many people have paid someone off to keep their mouth shut, and deducted the payment on their taxes as an expense? I can think of only one.
You never heard of a settlement? They're very common in corporate America. And they are included in legal expenses. They are never called "hush money" in financial statements. The jury was not allowed to hear that.
You're just making stuff up. Move on. Find a different hero.
So are Turley and Dershowitz just spinning things when they say there are many grounds for appeal due to wrong rulings by the Judge?
I don't know. What are Turley and Dershowitz saying are the grounds for appeal (and presumably they mean strong grounds)? None of you guys seem to know.
Here's one. Ithe jury instructions the judge told the jury to focus on certain pieces of evidence that he considered damaging to Trump. Judges don't do that.
"OK jury, if you're having trouble getting to a guilty verdict, don't forget xxxxx and yyyyy!"
There are two ways Trump can ask the Supreme Court to review his case, but they are different from a direct appeal. First there is a request for a writ of certiorari, then there is a request for a writ of habeas corpus. Either would normally be long shots, but with Alito and Thomas on the Court I’m not putting anything past them.
I believe Trump would have to exhaust the New York appeals first (I could be wrong) which takes years, and also would have to find something in the record so striking that it warrants Supreme Court review. It's almost inconceivable the Supreme Court would wade into a garden variety business fraud case like this. They save Supreme Court criminal rulings for death penalty cases or cases that would have huge impact on criminal laws. Anyone really see that here? Trump fudged up a bunch of business records to cover up some lies, and now he's going to get fined. Hardly Supreme Court material. Would Trump even want the Supreme Court recounting for all legal eternity his affair with Stormy Daniels?

You sure about that quote there?
People usually don't place quotes around bullsh*t that they just made up.

Trump can lie, deny, and project on the campaign trail and his supporters believe him. It doesn’t work in court. He was always guilty of the white collar misdemeanor fraud, he has been doing that his whole life. Only now is it catching up with him. The question was always about elevating it to a felony using the tax and election laws. This will be appealed past the election but it might peel off a few votes, that’s all. the real crime is that the other three trials probably will not happen before the election. Those are the more egregious actions that have been far more damaging to America.
So his accountancy isn't perfect. So what?
Bragg won't prosecute violent crime but he'll prosecute Biden's main rival. Complete kangaroo court.
Recent news stories highlight this uptick in career criminals on the streets. Dantay Moore, who fatally stabbed a 63-year-old grandmother, had 15 prior convictions, yet was let out on the streets to kill. This April, Alvin Doris tried to steal money and a cellphone from two kids at the Broadway/Lafayette train station. He punched the 11-year-old and broke his nose. Doris has nine prior arrests, including four previous assault charges, but he was free to wander the streets. On a Monday this past January, Rakeem Washington stole a subway passenger’s cellphone, was arrested, and was released without bail. On Friday of that same week, he attempted to rob another passenger by threatening him with a boxcutter. Washington’s criminal history is extensive, with prior arrests for assault robbery, attempted robbery, and aggravated harassment.
Nicole Gelinas reports that this past February, New York City subways saw “76 serious violent crimes: two murders, one rape, 38 robberies and 35 assaults.” Over the past 14 months, the city has also seen a 72% rise in stabbings of police officers. The things that make New York special, its parks, subway performers, and world-renowned police and landmarks are under constant attack. But Bragg is more interested in being a liberal media darling than in doing his job. Bragg’s waste of resources in pursuit of Trump undermines the rule of law, erodes confidence in the justice system, and delays justice for real victims.
Headline-chasing Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg’s vanity project of a trial against former president Donald Trump comes at a high cost for New Yorkers.
I can only hope your rights are violated in such a manner.
That was a slam dunk case that ALL TWELVE jurors (random American citizens) agreed he was guilty on all 34 counts. This is America and our judicial system works (well, it does outside of the former confederate states…)
the only rights that were violated are the American voters that were denied information that may have impacted their vote in 2016. That story would have cost him 1-3%, easily, and he would have lost.

”12 New Yorkers just found that Trump committed election interference in 2016 That--tampering w American democracy--is as serious a crime as you can get & it's why I think there's a serious risk of a jail sentence” I
In the lower left corner of that video you'll see the logo of the company that is making that man wealthy for saying what they want him to say.
You know who didn't get paid to have an opinion?
They jury, that's who.
And what's more, the jury came to this decision knowing that their lives are likely going to become much more difficult because of it. Nothing to gain, lots to lose. only a matter of time until their names are leaked and the hordes of mentally ill Trump supporters start making threats/attempts on their lives, accusing them of being deep state plants or whatever. Turley is a partisan hack of the highest order.
The smug smiles will be wiped off your liberal faces when a giant turnout among Trump supporters sweeps the Dems out of Congress and the White House. TODAY WAS A TURNING POINT IN OUR GREAT COUNTRY'S HISTORY. A SLEEPING GIANT WAS AWAKENED AND BETTER TIMES WILL RESULT FROM THIS. Downvote all you want, the deliberations were short and the issues complicated. This will light a flame with the base. I cannot wait until November. Red Tsunami. Me and Disco Gary will be celebrating.
