Trump conviction is BS and here's why
Complete and utter BS!!
The Supreme Court should hold an emergency session to deal with this sham. Here are the reasons they should (and they WILL, eventually --the problem is how long will it take them??) throw this verdict in the dust heap where it belongs:
1. CONFLICTED JUDGE. In NY a judge is REQUIRED to recuse himself from a case to avoid the APPEARANCE of a conflict. The judge's daughter works with Democrat operatives like Adam Schiff --you know the guy who IMPEACHED Pres. Trump. The guy who lied repeatedly by saying that he had SEEN the evidence that Pres. Trump colluded with Russia, yet Schiff has never produced that evidence. Again, the judge's daughter works with these people. The judge has also donated to Democrat candidates, and to a PAC that tried to keep Pres. Trump off the ballot. Those are not just APPEARANCES of conflict; those are ACTUAL CONFLICTS!!! He should have recused himself. BUT HE DID NOT.
2. STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. The midemenaor of falsifying business records has a two year statute of limitations in NY. The documents in question were filed almost EIGHT YEARS AGO. That is LONG past the statute of limitations. The judge should have thrown the case out for that. BUT HE DID NOT.
3. NO SECONDARY CRIME SPECIFIED. The prosecutors tried to get around the statute of limitations by saying Pres. Trump falsified the business records in an effort to cover up another crime, BUT NEVER SPECIFIED WHAT THAT CRIME WAS. They said it could have been THIS, or it could have been THAT, or it could have been THIS OTHER THING. But nothing specific. That is BLATANTLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL. A person has the right to know what specifically they are being charged with so they can mount a proper defense. The Trump defense team did not hear what other crimes Trump was trying to cover up until the prosecution's closing arguments. And since the defense presents their closing arguments first, and are not allowed to have any additional closing comments after the prosection, the Trump defense team never got to address that "secondary crime" in their defense. The judge should have thrown the case out for that. BUT HE DID NOT!
4. FELONIES DO NOT FALL UNDER A.G. BARR'S JURISDICTION. Felonies can be prosecuted by the Dept. of Justice or the federal prosecutor for the district where the alleged crime took place. Both the DOJ and others whose jurisdiction covered election crimes looked into this case and chose NOT TO PROSECUTE. Federal offenses cannot be charged by a local county prosecutor. The judge should have thrown the case out for that. BUT HE DID NOT.
5. STORMY DANIEL's TESTIMONY WAS IRRELEVANT TO THE CASE. Daniels had no knowledge of anything having to do with falsifying records. Her testimony was about sexual positions, kinds of boxer shorts, and other sordid, salacious details. The only reason for her testimony was to prejudice the jury against the defendant. The judge should not have allowed Daniels to testify. BUT HE DID. (PS --He later tried to correct this error by telling the jury to "unhear" her testimony.)
6. THE PROSECUTION's CASE HINGED ON THE TESTIMONY OF MICHAEL COHEN a SERIAL PERJURER ACCORDING TO ANOTHER JUDGE. During his testimony Cohen admitted to stealing tens of thousands of dollars from Pres. Trump. This is grand larceny and is a crime far worse than anything Pres. Trump was charged with. The judge should have not allowed Cohen's testimony to stand. BUT HE DID.
7. THE JUDGE DENIED THE DEFENSE THEIR OWN PIVOTAL WITNESSES. Trump's CFO and others who knew of how records were kept by Trump were not allowed to testify for the defense. The judge should have allowed the Trump defense team to call their witnesses. BUT HE DID NOT.
8. PRES. TRUMP WAS DENIED A CHANGE OF VENUE. Pres. Trump was being prosecuted in a city where 85% of voters voted against him. There was no way Pres. Trump was going to get a fair jury in New York City. The judge should have allowed a change of venue. BUT HE DID NOT.
9. THE JURY DID NOT HAVE TO AGREE ON WHAT CRIMES PRES. TRUMP WAS GUILTY OF. The judge instructed the jury that they could find Trump guilty on one of three possible crimes. So 3 jurors could find Trump guilty of crime A, and 5 jurors could find Trump guilty of crime B, and 4 jurors could find Trump guilty of crime C, and THAT would be considered a unanimous verdict. The judge should never have given such asinine instructions to the jury. BUT HE DID.
All of the above are REVERSIBLE ERRORS and those are just the ones off the top of my head!
The flag of political prosecutions has been planted, and America is changed forever.
