Sorry, but since it was put down as legal fees, it’s off the books, as it was covered up. I mean really, $250k is chump change, but only a moron hides their pornstar expenses…

Those are medical bills!!

harrys_balzac,

It’s an emotional support porn star

kmartburrito,

I saw somewhere he was going to try and focus his appeal on Stormy’s testimony. I think Judge Merchan was really smart to object on the Defense’s behalf and ask them why they weren’t objecting and if they were planning on objecting to her testimony.

By doing that (choosing to not object), they kinda forfeited their ability to appeal on that part.

I really hope Judge Merchan goes hard on the sentencing due to trumps public actions afterwards.

I sure the hell wouldn’t want to put my foot in my mouth like that while sentencing loomed over my head, but I’m also someone that has never been convicted of a crime, and don’t have rabid supporters hanging on my every word and giving me millions of dollars in donations.

IphtashuFitz,

I really hope Judge Merchan goes hard on the sentencing due to trumps public actions afterwards.

Not just afterwards, but during as well. How many times was he held in contempt, warned, etc. And after Trump got nervous that he was going too far, he enlisted others to carry on attacks against the judge, prosecutors, jury, etc.

IMHO (not a lawyer) I think the judge would be well within his rights to throw the book at Trump for all his behavior.

billiam0202,

I have no expectation that Trump will go to prison. I just think it’s bullshit that Cohen cooperated and got jail time, while Trump didn’t cooperate and will probably get a fine and probation.

NotMyOldRedditName,

The judge objected to their lack of objections!?!?!

I don’t think I’ve heard of that before?

kmartburrito,

It was really weird, they objected so much for like every piece of evidence entered, but when her testimony veered they were completely silent. I wonder if the judge saw it for what it was and called it out.

Here’s an article on it

tiefling,

Trump has been pissing off Judge Merchan and badmouthed his daughter. Not to mention the dozen or so contempt warnings. I really hope the sentencing reflects that.

jobby,

He could jump off Trump Tower…

Just sayin’.

Hey! Another first for him and America! And such a spectacular way to do it too! Nobody’s going to top that. He just keeps on winning!

“I think that the justices on the court — I know many of them personally — I think they’re deeply concerned,” said Mr. Johnson

kinda made me want to vomit a little

dhork,

That entire quote is proof that Mike Johnson believes that justice is for the poors, and rich, well-connected people have different rules than the rest of us. If, for some weird reason, the Court does find tortured logic to take up the case, there should be immediate hearings into what, exactly, Mike Johnson said to these justices to incentivize them to make them take up the case. After all, he is admitting to trying to sway their opinion on it.
