The GOP voter burden of proof is a signed statement from Trump confessing to his crimes, with two of his thumbprints, Reagan's signature, a signature from a witness that is not corrupted by a liberal education, and notarized by one of the conservative justices on the supreme court. If you don't make that cut, you must acquit...You’re correct it is not illegal to pay hush money. What IS illegal is to conceal that hush money payment by falsifying business records. It would not be sufficient to say he was falsifying business records in order to avoid being embarrassed - that would still be a crime.
As for it being a mistake that’s pretty obviously disproven by the evidence considering Trump was discussing how to conceal the payment.
Presumably we agree falsifying business records is illegal, correct?
It’s just funny that their basic defense is ‘it shouldn’t be illegal to falsify business records in order to cover up illegal campaign contributions of hush money payments to porn stars in order to become president’The GOP voter burden of proof is a signed statement from Trump confessing to his crimes, with two of his thumbprints, Reagan's signature, a signature from a witness that is not corrupted by a liberal education, and notarized by one of the conservative justices on the supreme court.

Again did you not read and understand the what the gag order entailed.
It was to stop trump from witnes intimidation and going after court staff
Full stop
Trump has been doing press briefings just about after every day of trial
Do you feel it is ok for a defendant to intimidate witnesses?
Do you feel it is ok to trash talk the court assistant/ etc?
Yeah but it's an easy mistake to make according to pcgeek..."labeling of this as a legal expense would be an easy mistake if so by an accountant as he was paying his "lawyer" for services."It’s just funny that their basic defense is ‘it shouldn’t be illegal to falsify business records in order to cover up illegal campaign contributions of hush money payments to porn stars in order to become president’
That’s how far down the rabbit hole these clowns have gone.
I routinely overpay my lawyers by $150k, the exact amount I agreed to in a hush money settlement. What a coincidence!Yeah but it's an easy mistake to make according to pcgeek..."labeling of this as a legal expense would be an easy mistake if so by an accountant as he was paying his "lawyer" for services."
I make this mistake all the time when I'm directing my enforcer lawyer to cover up my affairs...don't you?!

Well in their minds Democrats do all those things all the time and you never complained about it when they did it so it's only fair when their guys cheat a little.It’s just funny that their basic defense is ‘it shouldn’t be illegal to falsify business records in order to cover up illegal campaign contributions of hush money payments to porn stars in order to become president’

There is nothing odd about it if you understand the nature of unconscious motivation. For them to admit to the fact that the party to which they are proud to belong and from which they derive a sense of self worth is actually a party full of such emotionally needy people they would consciously feel worthless were they to lose membership in it is, is to see that they will cling to it at at any price. We have no idea how worthless we feel and that any beloved patriot in our armor brings on the fear of death. This is true of all sacred cows.Remember this..
For him it's an afterthought.. for us its utter amazement how so many people want to be hitched to Trump and defend their husband!
It's like they're Trump groupies or Trump bitches!
The prosecution witness' (Michael Cohen Etc... ) are free to trash talk all they want. I also believe in the Freedom of speech as do many. I don't see where Trump calling Cohen and Stormy a couple of sleezebags (which many will agree) is endangering him or Stormy.
If you are going to have a gag order gag them all.
Are you aware that you have absolutely no idea how any of this works?
Is there anything more consequential other than $1000 fines each time for him violating his gag orders?
if he's found in contempt of court, what happens?
The judge has allowed Trump to talk nasty about the judge and the prosecutor all he wants, so posts about the judge don't violate that order.On break after a hearing about whether he has violated gag orders with his posts, Trump posts a rant on Truth Social complaining about the biased judge and how his freeze peach is being suppressed. While knowing that the judge is waiting to make a decision about the whole thing, probably to see if Trump could actually go a whole day without violating the gag order again. That took all of five minutes. You can't make this up
I'm starting to agree with those who think Trump wants to rile up the judge in order to get put in jail. Then he'll bleat about unfair repression like the peasant in the Holy Grail hoping he'll get a sympathy vote, or some horde of maga patriots marching on NYC to bust him out of jail I guess.
That's what I'm getting it. The fine seems low and do you think he gives AF about a stern warning?No way Trump doesn't come out of this with a fine for violating the gag order and a stern warning, question will be exactly how harshly worded the judges order from this is.
Trump has turned American justice into a farce. Anybody but him would have long ago been jailed. All branches of government have failed. When will this farce end.That's what I'm getting it. The fine seems low and do you think he gives AF about a stern warning?
Hey it's the only way to counter the Biden crime family.Well in their minds Democrats do all those things all the time and you never complained about it when they did it so it's only fair when their guys cheat a little.
That peasant actually had legitimate points at least.I'm starting to agree with those who think Trump wants to rile up the judge in order to get put in jail.

Another sign of the infinite fairness of the law, where the poor and rich alike both get fined $1,000 for ignoring a judge.1000 is the max monetary fine
The only other option is jail
I'm pretty sure this sort of thing often features escalating fines.Another sign of the infinite fairness of the law, where the poor and rich alike both get fined $1,000 for ignoring a judge.

Hmm, yes, looked it up and I guess it is a maximum of $1k per act.I think it was on Midas touch and they are good at getting the laws right and they said it was a max of 1000
Well, the judge could get creative, and say every individual that gets the message from Trump is a separate "act"... 2 million shares, that'll be $2 billion now Mr. Trump...Hmm, yes, looked it up and I guess it is a maximum of $1k per act.
