Judge Merchan...Wait, what?!?

You guys really need to turnoff Fox News and watch legal experts on CNN, so you understand.  I know you guys will say CNN is biased, but they have all sort of legal experts on including former Trump lawyers.  They are presenting both sides.   The jurors need to agree on each of the 34 charges Trump is charged with, each has to deal with a falsified business record.  What they don’t need to agree on is the exact crime Trump is accused of concealing, he is not charged with those crimes just falsifying business records to cover up a crime. for instance a federal campaign violation.   

Seems 3Swallows is not listening to what the legal experts are saying on CNN since they all seem to be saying there is no case and that the DA has failed.

First all are grounds for appeal, but probably be decided after the election just like all the trial delays that have benefited Trump.  

Michael Cohen plead guilty of the federal campaign finance violation.  The Trump defense as I understand it, is Cohen made those on his own, and the prosecution is saying he did this at the direction and approval of Trump.   Do you think Cohen took out a loan on his house to payoff Stormy all on his own without Trump knowledge?

3Swallows confirmed that the leftist Muppets are OK with this kangaroo court because it's Trump and their TDS allows their minds to accept what should be unacceptable.

These are the jury instructions from Judge Juan Merchan
From CNN Staff
Judge Juan Merchan delivered his instructions to jurors before they began deliberations in former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial.

Here’s what Merchan told the jury:

They must not make a decision based on biases or stereotypes;
They must set aside personal differences;
They must not speculate how long sentencing may be or what the punishment might be – that’s up to the judge;
They can’t hold it against Trump for not testifying;
The “people must prove beyond a reasonable doubt every element of the crime.” He reminds the jury it must not rest its verdict on speculation;
They can consider whether a witness hopes to receive a benefit related to the trial, or if they have an interest in how the case ends;
They cannot convict Trump on Michael Cohen’s testimony alone because he’s an accomplice, but they can use his evidence if corroborated with other evidence;
The jury must be unanimous if they find Trump guilty on each count – on whether he committed the crime personally, acted in concert with others or both;
They must determine if Trump conspired to promote someone or prevent them from public office by unlawful means;
They should deliberate with a view toward reaching an agreement, without surrendering individual judgement;
Jurors notes cannot be used in place of evidence;
The foreperson will deliver the verdict for each count after deliberations are over;
They must surrender their phones, and can only discuss the case when all 12 of them are together.
Merchan explained some key laws in the case:

On the law applicable to falsifying business records, Merchan told the jury:

"You must find beyond a reasonable doubt first that he solicited requested, commanded, importuned or intentionally aided that person to engage in that conduct and second that he did so with the state of mind required with the commission of the offense."

He also explained what makes a person guilty of falsifying business records in the first degree – explaining that they must have the intent to defraud – including the intent to commit another crime or conceal the commission of one.

On what constitutes a violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act: It is unlawful for an individual to willfully make a contribution to any candidate running for office, including the presidency, exceeding certain limits which in the relevant years was $2,700, Merchan tells the jury.

He also walked the jury through what they must find in the different counts levelled against Trump. Merchan explained what tax law violations were and said it was unlawful for a person to willfully produce a tax statement or document that's false.

Yes.  That was in his testimony.  Think 3 sport had one too many to drink today.  The object of the case was to take the 34 misdemeanors that past the statute of limitations and find a felony for the feds.  Yes, find a felony.  A city AG bypassed the city, state and took on the case for a federal crime.  Something Bragg never revealed what that federal crime was.  Everybody is asking what is the federal crime Trump is being accused of?

Now any of you hear any clear evidence that it was more than the 34 misdemeanors and a felony was found. 

Now the judge telegraphed to the jury to determine a felony was committed in the "mountain of evidence"
