The final argument before closing from the prosecution to the jury should be: "Do you really believe, that Donald J. Trump, a man who's known to be obsessively involved into even the smallest details of his "deals", would pay out that amount of money to Michael Cohen without wanting to know to the last dime what exactly he's paying Cohen for?"

[@shawnyoung8752]

I saw a clip of him saying it wasn't out of champaign money. When asked if you knew about payoff? I didn't but I did later and paid it. So he wasn't aware of payoff or anything and paid 130k? In 2 65k checks. Why not 130k on 1 check? And this billionaire can't scrape together cash to pay her?

[@Peregrine101]

Point with that argument is that you then have to prove that DJT Senior is that much involved in his dealings. What is helping is the fact that even while he was already in the White House he never appointed anyone else to take care of his personal financials. He was to sign personally for the payment. But in general this would not be a surprise if something like this would come up in the final argument for the prosecution. And it would not be a bad argument to use.

[@irenafarm]

He’s a fraud, and the tissue of his lies only exists in his head. He doesn’t trust anyone else to see a hint of the whole picture, so he connects all the dots himself. Then, apparently, he flushes the paper trail. Except in states with water conservation and limited-flush toilets. 😂

[@tjroelsma]

@@Peregrine101 With DJT that is easy to prove: just question a number of people that have worked for him under oath and they'll all tell you the same: this guy literally trusts NOBODY and therefore micro-manages EVERYTHING. So there's no way even a single dollar is paid out without DJT having okayed it himself.

[@MomolosZtips]

Paying his lawyer... who paid Stormy D , isn't a crime.

Why isn’t it a crime when lawyers lie on court

[@dianagodwin4504]

i think it is.

[@TheAnxiousAardvark]

The ABA has an article on their site that starts off with: "_Everyone knows that lawyers are not allowed to lie - to clients, courts or third parties. But once you get beyond deliberate false statements, the scope of the obligations to truth and integrity become less clear. What about reckless and negligent statements that are false? What about misleading statements and implications about the extent of your knowledge? What about omissions? When is it okay to exploit someone else’s misapprehension and when do you have to correct it?_"

[@MrWannabeartist]

And witnesses, even lefty judges

[@xs10tl1]

Because the Judicial system has been taken over, in part bought. Lawyers telling the truth are disbarred and harrassed. That's on the Bar Association.

Um, did the judge do this in front of the jury? He entered this into the record without trump testifying. Your legal record is only admisable if you testify. I dont really understand why.

[@nothingtodo58]

Is it possible that Trump wanted to suppress stories of his extramarital affairs because he specifically didn't want Melania to find out and also generally didn't want to be publicly embarrassed?

[@stefanthorpenberg887]

Americans put themselves in this mess. Trump should never have been accepted as a president candidate in 2016.

[@joeblog2672]

If his ego gets the better of him Trump may see himself as invincible in the courtroom. This would be right on par with his political lunacy, similar to other dictators' snorts of contempt when finally brought to justice. Any lawyer that advises him to testify should be disbarred immediately - even if he/she could be considered a hero to their country in one respect! By God, even the direct examination from his own lawyers would see Trump lie, fidget, fumble and come across so contemptuously as to sear his guilt into the minds of the jurors. His own testimony would remove virtually any shred of doubt in their minds they have managed to consider in fairness to the legal system more so than to Trump. And then it would be the prosecution's turn to cross-examine......
