If someone appears to be repeatedly personal, lean towards patience as they might not mean offense. If you are sure, however, then do not deepen the problem by being negative; instead, simply place them on ignore by clicking the unhappy yellow face to the right of their name.

Bragg can’t prosecute it, but he can prove it up as an element of the state law case.

And did he? No way.

State tax filings. Cohen filed fraudulent state returns.

Then indict Cohen, not Trump.

How is this a felony? Again, the 1st two things were bogus.

Because witnesses aren’t allowed to “testify” as to matters of law. It’s up to the judge to determine what the law is, including whether a set of facts (if proven) would violate the law. That’s why the defense was told they were perfectly free to call him, but he couldn’t propound on legal issues - just facts. Which is what witnesses are allowed to do - testify on factual, not legal, questions.

The judge shot down most of his appearance as a witness. The prosecution can object and the judge can sustain, but sheesh let the guy testify to something.

You didn't answer my question: Do you see how a layperson would look at this and say, "This guy got railroaded?"
