We’ll see if anyone on the Trump jury has an iota of intestinal fortitude. From Jonathan Turley at jonathanturley.org:
Below is my column in the Hill on the approaching closing arguments in the Trump trial. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg appears to be launching his own school of abstract legal work in the Trump indictment. The key is to avoid any objective meaning.
Here is the column:
Abstract artist Jackson Pollock once said that his paintings have no objective meaning, so the best way for people to enjoy them is to stop looking for it.
For many of us, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has created a new school of abstract law where there is no need for objective meaning. The jury is simply supposed to enjoy it for what it is: a chance to convict Donald Trump.
Pollock was famous for his painting drips on large canvases. Bragg has achieved the same effect by regenerating a dead misdemeanor on falsifying business records as 34 felony counts. To achieve that extraordinary goal, he has alleged that the document violations (which expired long ago under the statute of limitations) were committed to hide some other crime.
Originally, Bragg vaguely referenced four crimes and there have been months of confusion as to what he was specifically alleging as his criminal theories. Even legal analysts on CNN and MSNBC have continued to question the specific allegations against Trump as we head into closing arguments.
Comrade Juan or Hector the Hangman told the jury scrotes that you don’t have to think PT Trump is guilty in order to convict in the NY house of representin’ AKA court room.
Artist depickshuns from the house of representin’ be all like artistic and stuff like.
Monday Nigh Rehabilitation in a Yugo against Beef Supreme in the 6×6 Dildozer would be a light sentence for Emmanuel Trumpstein. (h/t-Idiocracy)
Comrade Merchal did a Trumpstein tax evasion case back in 2022.
Maybe they could retry that one like the so called stormy “hush” money?
