Michael Knowles is great. He's really the best The Daily Wire has.

He just has a bad case of TDS. The DA had to completely ignore the law to prosecute it to begin with.

Then any judge with a functional brain should have dismissed it with prejudice for a host of reasons, but the judge is a Biden donor who likely has a book deal already set, a political appointment by Biden, a pretty significant bribe that was funneled to him or all of the above.

It will likely be years before it gets to the Supreme Court, who will toss it and should censure the judge to boot.

A) No, because even CNN has admitted this case is entirely political and bullshite.

The falsification of business records could be as simple as a journal entry mistake or an actual intent to hide. The intent part would’ve depended on if someone was doctoring books, then those someone’s would be as liable or if directed the the whole group would. Now where it gets interesting is if Cohen was turning in itemized billing or a charge for that month. If it was a charge like I see normally with say hourly, supplies or such then it would just go legal expenses. If it was broken down to say hourly, hookers & payoffs, supplies and hotel reimbursements then journaling would need to happen as such. If I recall correctly the info came out that billing just showed dollar amounts only. Intent of falsifying would be a stretch unless jury wasn’t paying attention or defense was not allowed to clarify.

Are you retarded? Is it really your belief that a story involving infidelity would have only impacted NY voters?

Or if the jury was told why the invoices were only a dollar amount, which is the fundamental issue with the entire scheme.

Nathan Wade's bullshite billing was more legally proper than Cohen's. Think about that

There are many options. I already stated the 2 strongest and the ones I'd focus on if I were tasked with prosecuting this case.

Yes, but they all have to agree beyond a reasonable doubt on one or all of those options. You can’t have four jurors thinking he murdered someone, four jurors think he raped someone, and another four thinking that he jaywalked. You can’t convict on that shite.

Again, go back to my post that you keep ignoring to understand how this will need to be done at the re-trial.


There’s not going to be a retrial, it’s going to the Supreme Court where it will be overturned in a 9-0 decision.

quote:

It will be remanded for re-trial, again, as I have said.


You do know that appealing to the Supreme Court isn’t a retrial, right? It goes there to see if conviction is constitutionally viable, which it isn’t.

Can you point us to the statute that outlines the correct way to record expenses in a ledger?

... expenses paid to a lawyer for services rendered, at that.

OH, so you did read my post on page 1 finally? Whew

I understand, and I already specifically addressed this on page 1. I kept telling you to go back and read.

quote:

Now, as I have stated many times, the reason why the above statement is true (the jury instructions/rulings on the issue, specifically the non-unanimity issue) is likely going to lead to the conviction being reversed and sent back down for re-trial.


See? WAY ahead of you.

quote:

That's not how it works. If a jury instruction or ruling were improper, it's remanded for re-trial with that defect cured (so in this case, the jury would have to choose an associated crime unanimously and specifically).

The only way this completely goes away is if the statute itself is ruled Unconstitutional (which is highly unlikely).

quote:

Yes, its' an appeal where they can address legal, procedural, or constitutional defects in the trial.

quote:

It goes there to see if conviction is constitutionally viable, which it isn’t.

If there was a legal ruling or procedural issue, the court will state they were improper, then remand it for re-trial, and at re-trial, the trial court won't be able to repeat the offending issues.

But that is specifically not what they paid, which is why the invoices are alleged as fraudulent.

What ledger was exactly falsified? The transaction was noted, it didnt circumvent a tax code.

No, that’s exactly what’s going to happen. Plus a mistrial with prejudice due to the judge, the DA, and the judge’s daughter. It’s 9-0 as well.
