There was an illicit campaign payment.
No. There are many reasons to pay the porn star to keep quiet. It's not up to "the jury" to even make this determination.

Incorrect. There was no illegality here.

It is not the role of witnesses to explain laws to the jury.
It's the role of the witness to help explain things to the jury.

The judge did define how the law was to be applied to the jury

The judge is supposed to define terms of the law to the jury. This one didn't. When I've sat on juries we'd ask the judge to define certain legal terms and got written responses.

Oh? Then what was the underlying crime that triggered the felonies?

It's sad that you've been so misinformed about this case, especially when a quick perusal of the actual documents would reveal how wrong some of these arguments are. I strongly suggest you read the jury instructions, so that you can see for yourself how inaccurate several of these claims are.

Yep, I think we're done.
