Harry Litman on the Trump Trial 

I suspect you are going to wait for a long time. Convicted or not tRump isn’t going away. He is the focus of a decades long campaign by the Republican / fascist / Christian nationalist movement to dismantle democracy. The only possible solution, so far as I can see, is a massive popular uprising rejecting that coalition. But most Americans are Christians. A significant number are fascists. And, sad to admit, we are not the most educated, most rational, citizens on the planet.

Harry - also my favorite expert on the law

Well DESERVED! Trump’s peeps are FINALLY WAKING UP! Welcome to the REAL WORLD, FOLKS!

Donald’s pelt is looking the worse for wear. It resembles cotton candy. And it’s thin.

Harry, not Larry 😋

Dumpy trump😊😊

%100

it's a GAS attack !!

​@@direwolf6234imagine Trump, in a jail cell, with three, hardened, inmates. How long would diaper Don last? Yup, Trump will get house arrest.

I hope he gets convicted and then has to stay at Mar-A-Lago but is not allowed to play golf. That would really piss him off

endorsed

Absolutely.

Unfortunately Al doesn't want to deal with the mishigas.😉

Al for Pres !

​@@NoSacredCowFla I completely agree with your comment.

God please let me live and pray 🙏🏿 I promise to vote Democrat 🗳 Blue Love 💙

Up and down the ballot. 🗽💙🌊💙🌊🗽

Please donate to Democratic senators and representatives in the swing states, if you can.💙🇺🇸

He and Karen Friedman Agnifilo are my favourites.

Him and Andrew Weissmann.

If he's in the Eastern time zone, it was Sunday when he posted it.

@@shawnwales696 Barely. 😉

I think Al wants to be there for his audience when they get up, like a Sunday morning newspaper. If nightowls get to feel like we get an advance release, that doesn't feel to me like an inaccuracy, or a nit worth picking.

Good humor. But the jury is taking this seriously and have to hear the blah blah blah record read back to them because it isn't given in writing like a lot of places. I can hardly stand waiting on this one though. Fast, guilty, boom, that would be ideal. And they sure deserve lunch!

Can he become a dictator from jail? Logistically?

All the more reason to get him jailed.

MTN 😅❤❤❤❤

Oh ya, vote everyone!

2nd favorite after lawsuits. OK, you got me: He appeals those all the time, too.

@@Roberta-q1q 3rd favourite after sexual assault.

The TRUTH doesn't matter to you, and other Lefties

Lying is clearly his favorite thing

Law allows you to appeal, Klown..

He is!

I still ask “how does this affect Al Franken?”

Cohen pled quilty. Why weren't campaign experts called for either side? Raising to a felony has been confusing.

A felony is a big crime demanding jail time. A misdemeanor is a little crime like a minor traffic violation. Usually misdemeanors can be resolved by paying a fine. Felonies are big serious offenses which result in a person having a criminal record. Having a felony offense on your record can bar you from getting jobs, qualifying for housing , qualifying for some schools and student aide programs, bar you from voting or serving in the military. Felony offenses are a big deal. 😅

As I understood from Karen, the prosecutors cant ask for it due to the statutes of limitation on the misdemeanors, but the defense could ask it - if their client will allow it.

@@dfuher968 thanks. And if they ask, it would be opening something back up they wouldn’t want to in the first place if I remember correctly.

The jumping to a felony has been confusing all along. Maybe jury instructions can clarify. No campaign experts were called, by either side. Why?

@@jannichi6431 Why do you need a campaign expert?

If I recall correctly, the general rule is that if the defense asks that the jury be instructed on the misdemeanor charge, that waives a statute of limitations claim as to the misdemeanor.

Think the statue of limitations was a Right Wing FOX rumor. If so, why were charges brought in the first place?

But no campaign expert was called, for either side. This jump to felony is confusing. Did Harry answer that?

@@jannichi6431 is it not set out in the indictment or prosecution opening? Campaign finances are enforced by the FEC, and the Disclosure rules are pretty clear. That crime occurred, and was demonstrated by the Prosecution's case. No?

@@jannichi6431 Why do you need a campaign expert to testify? If he'd been accused of speeding, would you demand that a car expert testify?

Absolutely!!!
