[QUOTE="The Barbarian, post: 77660019, member: 7989"] But there was a state crime. Which is what Bragg has to address. Thought you knew this. If you truly think that's all the jury heard, you're a lot more gullible than I think you are. That's what juries are for. [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]The newest and most important piece of evidence to emerge from today’s openings came from prosecutor Colangelo in his description of election night 2016. As news outlets came closer to announcing Donald Trump as the winner, Keith Davidson, the lawyer who cut the Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal “catch and kill” deals, texted to the National Enquirer’s editor in chief: “What have we done?” This statement, by an insider with no ax to grind, unmistakably connects the charged payoffs with the election, a crucial nexus to making the conduct a felony.
