So the NY criminal trial is becoming something way bigger than I anticipated and probably a lot of people if you are following the case. While its been called the hush money trial and pretty much been labeled or seen as insignificant, when you really look at what Trump is being charged its clear this trial may end up being something really damaging if Trump is convicted.
First is David Pecker testimony which is about as damaging as it can be because it just kills the defense case that these money payments were done because Trump did not want his family to hear about this infidelity. There is no felony part to this part of the case but what it does do is paint the situation where its pretty much impossible for Trump Lawyers can contest one, he did not have relationships with Daniels and second that he was only paying her because her story is untrue.
Now that the prosecution has established this point, now comes the real meat to the case. The audio tape where Trump instructs Cohen to hold Daniels payment until after the election because as he stated, it would not mean anything if he were president. The handwritten notes from his CFO basically describing the payments and how they should be handled in his own handwriting.
Then you have the opening statements from Trump own lawyer that he will show that not only Trump did not have relationships with Daniels, but he will prove it. This is the part that I thought was very interesting because it really does not make sense. Why even pay anyone to shut up about an event that never occurred. I know that Trump believe the people that follow him are idiots, but you really have to be totally stupid to believe that part. I guess he is hoping at least one person is on the jury that no matter the evidence will just deny everything so there would be a mistrial.
