A lot of Trump trial observers are surprised that Donald has only had kind words for David Pecker. All the other witnesses that have "betrayed" Trump and made a deal to aid prosecutors have been unmercifully ripped by Trump. Even family members of court staff and unknown jurors. No one who has added to Trump's legal distress, or their kin, has escaped his wrath.
Except David Pecker. Pecker testified in a devastating manner. He set the table to make it easier for Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels to give believable and credible testimony. But not only did Donald not criticize Pecker, but he praised him as a "great guy". It certainly seems out of character to the court watchers.
Well, not to this court watcher. I remember during the early days of the Michael Cohen indictments that Alan Weisselberg and Pecker secured plea deals. In those discussions it was made public that Pecker kept many salacious articles about Trump in a wall safe. Articles that were never printed. Trump knows about these articles, and they can be politically, personally and legally damaging. Pecker sold Trump out and he's praising him? Come on. Something's up and I would love to see what Pecker had in that wall safe.

(10,420 posts)There must be some bombshell that hasnt come out yet. Stuff that might not directly affect this case but could greatly impact TSF.

(1,264 posts)but it isn't pertinent to the case. It also may be stuff Trump gave to Pecker that compromises others who don't know Trump is the "rat". I can only speculate on what it could be, but Trump's reaction to the Pecker testimony doesn't add up.

(3,473 posts)There are blatant tells hiding in all that bluster and noise.
He's been playing this game a loooong time, and he absolutely knows who has the goods on him. He isn't even giving a cross eye to David Pecker.

(10,013 posts)... Pecker probably realizes any additional info is worthless. TRUMP FANS DON'T CARE! The want deplorable. I could see them releasing some additional bad deeds... especially if it can be proven false, thinking people will just dismiss it all as "fake news."
Pototan
(1,264 posts)so the prosecution isn't bringing up the specific cases. But Trump knows that Pecker has it.

(51,125 posts)Pecker. So imagine what it must be.
Like the old political saw used to say, live boy or dead girl? There was that woman who accused him of raping her when she was a child, who subsequently went away like a puff of smoke.

(12,462 posts)A little surprising then (or maybe not) that this was hardly mentioned by the press.

Buying and storing bad Trump stories.

(2,644 posts)Nothing Pecker said is going to put tRump away. Although I also think tRump wants to go to jail.
