Good day all. The politically motivated New York kangaroo trial against the Greatest President of the 21st Century, Donald Trump, continues and things aren’t going to well for the prosecution. Last week, they put a witness on the stand to help “Get Trump!” It didn’t go as expected.
The witness was Hope Hicks who was President Trumps communications director during the 2016 campaign. She was called by the prosecution as a witness for the prosecution. It didn’t go the way Bragg and his cronies thought it would. Here are the details from Fox News:
In an epic miscalculation that backfired spectacularly, prosecutors in the Manhattan hush money trial of Donald Trump called Hope Hicks to the witness stand. The moment cross-examination began, their misbegotten case against the former president began to collapse.
Hicks, who served as press secretary during the 2016 presidential campaign, explained that Trump’s motive for suppressing salacious stories was to protect his wife, Melania. “Absolutely…I don’t think he wanted anyone in his family to be hurt or embarrassed about anything on the campaign. He wanted them to be proud of him.”
I think the first words through the prosecution’s collective heads when Hicks said this was along the lines of “Oh SHIT!”
The account by Hicks demolishes District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s primary claim against Trump that he paid porn star Stormy Daniels for her silence with the intent to benefit his campaign and, thereby, influence the election by “unlawful means.”
To the contrary, it nicely corroborates the findings of a federal investigation that no crimes were committed, or campaign finance laws broken because there was another purpose for the non-disclosure agreement that Daniels signed.
From there, things went from bad to worse. Another “Star Witness” is convicted liar Michael Cohen. Bragg and his team of Progressive twerps need people such as Hope Hicks and their previous witness, David Pecker, to corroborate whatever Cohen would say since his actual credibility is lower then a pregnant snail’s belly. It hasn’t worked out that way at all.
Like the prosecution witnesses before her, Hicks disparaged Bragg’s planned star witness, Michael Cohen, Trump’s one-time personal lawyer.
“He used to like to call himself Mr. Fix-It, but it was only because he first broke it.”
Ouch! But that denigrating remark is tame compared to the other derisive comments that have been leveled thus far at the insufferable Cohen, who is a convicted liar who went to prison.
It was foolhardy for Bragg’s legal team to call Hicks. A rank amateurish mistake. Her testimony was redundant and unnecessary. But under the theory that no dead horse will be left unbeaten, prosecutors seemed determined to have her tell the jury what they already knew.
Perhaps we can charge the New York District Attorney’s office with cruelty to deceased virtual animals. That has the same validity as the case this politically motivated moron has brought against the Greatest President of the 21st Century, Donald Trump.
Hicks confirmed that Trump was aware that Cohen paid off Daniels to end what can fairly be described as aggressive blackmail demands. When the election drew near, Daniels ratcheted up her greedy scheme to profit from Trump by threatening to go public about a supposed affair, which he denied. Not incidentally, she renounced the purported tryst. Then, in a head-spinning maneuver, she recanted her repudiation.
That case from early in Trump’s presidency eventually ended up with Daniel’s lawyer, Michael Avenatti, going to prison for stealing money from clients, among other things. As I recall, and it’s been a few years since all this happened, (And I’m to lazy to look it all up again), Daniels ended up having to pay President Trump.
The payment to Daniels, regardless of its intent, proved to be a waste of money. While the National Enquirer never published her story, Hicks testified that other news outlets did so in advance of the election. In the end, it didn’t seem to matter much to voters who were more invested in policy ideas rather than personal issues. The unlikeable Hillary Clinton was also a factor.
Calling Felonia von Pantsuit unlikable is like calling raw sewage in your kitchen unpleasant. Why the prosecution keeps bring that whole thing up isn’t making a lot of sense. Everyone already knew about it. Trump doesn’t deny the payments. He said he was following his lawyer’s advice and he, (Michael Cohen), handled everything.
Bragg should turn himself in to authorities for impersonating an honest lawyer. To fulfill his campaign promise to nail Trump, the D.A. has manipulated the law and mangled evidence to engineer a wrongful conviction. He targeted Trump in a textbook case of selective prosecution. This is an affront to the principles of fairness and equal justice.
The Democrats don’t care. The only goal has been to “Get Trump!” The corrupt judge handling this case, Juan Merchan, has been a willing accomplice in this and has been committing one reversible error after the other. His recent threat to jail President Trump for using his 1st Amendment rights is one such incident.
There is no way the Secret Service will allow this, and if Merchan issued such an order, it’s not beyond the realm of possibility that the agents would draw their weapons on the deputies in the courtroom. If President Trump were put into jail it would probably be in Rikers Island and President Trump would no doubt be attacked within hours and probably murdered. Bragg, Merchan, and all the Democrats may want this, but, as usual, they aren’t thinking about what the repercussions would be.
If polling data is correct, Americans are offended by this big top spectacle. They resent seeing the leading candidate for president taken off the campaign trail and tied up in court by a partisan enemy. Bragg’s legally anemic case only accentuates the injustice.
There is no mistaking the boomerang effect here. Voters see this for precisely what it is: a pathetically weak case designed to damage Trump politically to the benefit of President Joe Biden’s reelection chances.
Without question, that is the goal. The problem for the Democrats is that it’s not working. In fact, it’s having the opposite affect. The Democrats have been after President Trump since November 9th, 2016. They cooked up a fake dossier, two fake impeachments, a stolen election and now they’re trying to railroad President Trump into prison. People have had it and they aren’t going to put up with it for much longer. If the Prosecution’s own witnesses are sinking their case, what will happen when President Trump’s defense team gets to work? This isn’t going to end well for Bragg or the Democrats.
