Trump is fucked now. Right? Right?! [View all]

I mean, jurors were caught smirking at the defense’s attempt to impeach Cohen’s credibility. And from most former prosecution and defense attorneys on actual news media that are not former Trump attorneys are saying that conviction is likely at this point unless there is a hung jury (and no, I don’t agree with those here who think there is a Trumper in the jury). The evidence is overwhelming and Trump is tied to the crime with first hand witness testimony.

The only real defense left is for Trump to take the stand and deny everything Cohen said. And we all know how that would go.

The remaining question at this point is if Trump will serve time, and if so how much?

I think it's a coin toss that he gets acquitted Prairie Gates May 15 #2

No it isn't. He does not get acquitted. Hung jury is his best possibility NoRethugFriends May 15 #12

A hung jury would be a massive victory for him. whopis01 May 15 #23
