    You want to resort to lying, be my guest. But I only reserve my derision for your truly ridiculous posts. Of which, I admit, there are many.

    "How did you meet your second wife, Mr. Trump?"

    "Objection, relevance."

    "Goes to impeach his defense, your honor."

    ...

    "How did you meet your current wife, Mr. Trump?"

    "During the campaign you said 'if you see a woman, you just move up on her.' what does that mean?"

    "And in those times, it became known you were cheating on them, isn't that true? Did you pay hush money to spare their feelings? So we've established you are not faithful in your marriages. Your current wife knows you are not faithful in your marriages. Your current wife saw stories about you cheating and bragging about cheating. So why were you protecting her feelings if this is already common knowledge?"

    1) He isn't going to be on the stand. ... unless he goes full blown idiot.
    2) Our legal system doesn't work the way you think. ... he doesn't need a defense. His lawyers just need to introduce reasonable doubt. The burdon of proof is on the prosecution. If the basis for this being a criminal felony is that he somehow violated a campaign finance law by paying money to a porn star. ... there are a gazillion possible other reasons that can explain him paying money to Stormy Daniels that have zero to do with it being a campaign benefit of some sort. I just pointed out the wife thing, because it's obvious. They don't need to say that was the reason affirmatively. They just need to introduce that it could have been for that reason. Bang, reasonable doubt.

    I feel sorry for the folks who'll be selected to the jury. They'll be scrutinized more than any jurors in history. And by more whackjobs dedicated to doxxing them.

    "What is your opinion of campaign finance laws?"

    "They're bullshit."

    "Challenge for cause, your honor."

    They better be sequestered and have round-the-clock security. And perhaps round-the-clock security monitoring that round-the-clock security, because undoubtedly there’ll be some Trumpers among the cops.

    Even if found guilty, Trump won't see the inside of a cell. His justice was served today. He can be cleared on all counts, and today will hang around his neck for as long as U.S. history is written. He can't make it go away.
    If it's a sad day that that a former POTUS was arrested, then it's the fault of the people who elected a career con man, not the justice system. The rule of law is the rule of law.

    Big Ragu-

    The case isn't brought (especially this one) unless it has a great chance of succeeding. This isn't the roulette wheel.
