NP. It’s not about Bragg knowing. It’s about the public knowing. |

And yet...the Republicans make this same argument about Georgia...and the documents at Mar-a-lago...and Jan 6. Are those specious charges too? |

Actually, many of them.... yes. |

Huh? That makes no sense. Bragg doesn’t have to reveal his evidence in public until trial. |

What would Trump have to do so that it's not a specious charge...shoot somebody on 5th Avenue? |

If you didn't know this was what Michael Cohen was saying at the time, then you weren't paying attention. Cohen was still covering for Trump in the hopes that Trump, as the Chief Law Enforcement Officer of the US, would make sure he was treated right. Or that Trump would pardon him. Instead Cohen was the fall guy, the one left to take the blame and go to prison. And Bill Barr made sure that Trump was never prosecuted. |

If you set the bar too low, all of the politicians will go to jail. So yes, it would need to be something more severe than having classified documents or paying hush money. |

So different laws apply to politicians that the rest of us? No thanks. |

This seems like a problematic statement.....If that's the case then so be it. We are going back to the robber baron type of mentality. |

So, you think he should be withholding exculpatory evidence from the Grand Jury? Because, that is what he is doing. |

How do you know he didn't provide this to the GJ? Do you have the GJ record? |

5th Avenue...that would be ok. Avenue of the Americas? Well then by golly is would not be specious. |

Seems the docs were irrelevant and didn't include this FEC letter. "The emails, which Costello said he handed over to Manhattan prosecutors this week, show the former federal prosecutor has given a consistent account of his dealings with Cohen over the years but do not appear to include any kind of smoking gun pertaining to the hush money probe. After he testified before the grand jury Monday, Costello told reporters that prosecutors “cherry-picked six emails” from the 321 he said he had turned over to the DA's office. “Of course they took them out of context,” said Costello, who portrayed Cohen as a liar in his testimony. “You need to see each and every email,” he continued, adding, “There must be 100 instances in those documents of him lying to us.” The bulk of the emails, however, are not exchanges between Costello and Cohen; instead, many are messages Costello sent to Cohen that went unanswered, as well as messages from Costello and other lawyers complaining that Cohen was not returning their calls or emails or forwarding one another and Cohen news stories about his case. Among the exchanges in which Cohen engaged with Costello are messages showing he appearing to string Costello and his firm along, reassuring them he wanted them on his legal team while repeatedly postponing signing a retainer agreement. No agreement was ever signed, and Cohen denied in later emails that he’d told Costello he wanted him on his legal team, despite earlier emails to the contrary. In the emails, Cohen also denied to Costello reports that he was going to “flip” on Trump — which he later did. He pleaded guilty in 2018 to criminal charges that included arranging hush money payments on Trump's behalf, including the one being investigated by the DA, and lying to Congress. The only message that appeared to be directly relevant to the Manhattan DA's case was from December 2018, when Costello emailed a colleague saying Cohen had once told him “he had nothing on The President.”" https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/live-blog/trump-news-ny-grand-jury-indictment-live-updates-rcna76028 |
