    Evidence from the trial that's the email exchange between Graff, who was Trump's "gatekeeper" at Trump Tower and Westerhout, who was his "gatekeeper" in the Oval Office.
    One was about checks Trump signed in 2017.
    Both women also know who attended what meetings with Trump etc.

    Easy peasy.

    1. Pecker knows all about Trump's affair with McDougal.
    2. Pecker knows all about Trump's sexcapade with Stormy.

    There should be a new thread for every witness.

    Thank you. I suspect that his knowledge of Trump runs even deeper. Trump is afraid to attack him. And it’s not the gag order that’s restraining him.

    For posting a clearly fake link, one that was full of phishing traps.

    It was irresponsible, and disregarded the digital safety of every person who clicked on it.

    You know that, too. I made it very clear in my last response.

    Criminals are exclusive to non gov't elected officials.
    No one is above the law.
    Plenty of criminals elected to office or become one while in office.
    Which may be the case for the 2x impeached incumbent loser.

    Mostly it's criminal losers that complain of rigged elections.
    Because their potential criminal activity didn't keep them in office.

    How does anyone know the elections aren't rigged.
    The biggest reason, there's been no proof.

    Also, down ballot voting had Rs gain seats in House even though the impeached 2x president, lost as the incumbent.

    Perhaps, he was just plain old incompetent.

    Trump framed?
    Didn't Comey release damaging info about Hilary mere weeks before the election?
    Perhaps Comey didn't kiss trumps butt enough?

    ...
    In September 2013, President Barack Obama appointed Comey to the position of Director of the FBI.[7] In that capacity, he was responsible for overseeing the FBI's investigation of the Hillary Clinton email controversy. His role in the 2016 U.S. presidential election was highly controversial.[8] Some analysts and some Clinton supporters claim his decisions shortly before the 2016 election might have cost her the presidency,[9] particularly his decision to reopen the investigation into her emails less than two weeks before the election.[10][11][12] On June 14, 2018, DOJ inspector general Michael E. Horowitz released his report on the FBI's handling of the Clinton email investigation, which criticized Comey's actions during the 2016 election.[13]

    President Donald Trump fired Comey on May 9, 2017.[14][15][16] Statements from Trump and the White House suggested that Comey had been fired to ease the "pressure" Trump was under due to the Russia investigation.[17][18][19] Later that month, Comey arranged for a friend to leak to the press a memo he had written after a February 14, 2017, private meeting with the president. It said Trump had asked him to end the FBI's investigation into Michael Flynn, the former national security advisor.

    Do yours... falsifying, if paying a lawyer and internally coding it "legal expense" is falsifying, it's a misdemeanor that of course the Statue of Limitation ran out according to NY state law.

    Here's your clue for the day: In this "hush money" trial, Trump was not trying to conceal a crime, he was trying to conceal his extramarital affair(s) from his wife, and from voters. The crime was in the various actions taken in paying off Stormy Daniels that involved fraud.

    There's a NY statute that allows multiple misdemeanors to be combined into a felony offense.

    Timing ? There was no good time for an ex President to be prosecuted. They passed through judges and grand juries. The evidence is sufficient.

    You need to read the charges. Using campaign funds is illegal. Using illegal campaign funds to alter an election which is also illegal, is a felony. The testimony has stated….they are singing like birds. If there was no guilt, why ask for immunity ?

    Which laws are you referring to?
    Which laws is he on trial for?

    Are those 2 the same thing?
    This didn't just materialize and get to the level of a trial. There's legal reasons for the trial. Do you know that?

    Are you being obtuse? He didn't use campaign funds and isn't even accused of that.

    Now you're catching on, read more and you'll figure out the hoops Bragg is attempting to jump through to somehow get this to a felony, and be able to ignore basic statute of limitations, on basic charges. I'm not going down your rabbit hole on the other, I know your game, the charges are listed in this thread, go read.

    Just as the FBI released damaging info about Trump and the crossfire Hurricane investigation based upon Hillary's fictional Russian Dossier. The investigation into Hillary was valid. Investigation of Trump was based upon fiction created by Hillary's campaign.

    Pecker may have been a Trump friendly witness. Turley says Trump should not criticize him because his testimony helped Trump. Perhaps Trump is listening to Fox News.

    Because he's finally having his day in court and the case is being torn to pieces? Pecker's testimony was actually very impressive, he was very honest, he initially helped the prosecution but arguably helped Trump more with his cross examination.
