Do you imagine those in Congress have any power to put people in jail?

These hearings do have a purpose and a benefit, but it's only to those who care to listen or pay attention. They put people on the record. I'd rather have them than not, as long as the good guys (our side) are the ones leading the hearings.

They actually do with contempt of Congress charges and they should certainly be sending criminal referrals to DOJ, which would obviously do nothing. But at least it would further expose the corruption of the weaponized federal agencies.

The DOJ and Congress are not the same thing.

There is a jail cell in the US Capitol and it very much can be used to hold someone found in contempt of Congress. It will probably never happen with the Uniparty running things, but it's there.

Our judicial system is already a subjective, politicized mess... probably best if actual politicians don't start locking folks up.

Good. Mercilessly mock these clowns at any opportunity.

Cohen Destroyed: Trump Lawyer "Dog Walks" Star Witness Through Lie After Lie, CNN Pundits Aghast

https://www.zerohedge.com/poli...fter-lie-cnn-pundits

President Donald Trump's former attorney Michael Cohen had his "knees chopped out" by Donald Trump's defense attorneys in cross-examination during Trump's 'hush money' trial.

Cohen was grilled by Trump attorney Todd Blanche about a pivotal phone call that connected Trump to allegations that he approved reimbursements to pay porn star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election. In one exchange, Blanche accused Cohen of lying about speaking with Trump on the phone in October 2016 to reassure his boss that he was handling the payment to Daniels.

Blanche then confronted Cohen with text messages that contradicted the lie - revealing that Cohen in fact spoke with Trump's bodyguard, Keith Schiller.

Trump attorney Todd Blanche grilled him about a pivotal phone call that had connected President Trump to the allegations at the center of the case. He accused Mr. Cohen of calling the former president’s bodyguard, Keith Schiller, to complain about harassing phone calls—not to disclose an update on a plan to purchase the silence of Ms. Clifford.

Mr. Cohen said that the prank calls were a part of the conversation with Mr. Schiller.

“Now your memory is that you were testifying truthfully on Tuesday, and you had enough time to update Mr. Schiller about all the problems you were having with these harassing calls?” Mr. Blanche asked him.

“I always run everything by the boss immediately,” Mr. Cohen said. “It could’ve just been me saying, ‘everything’s been taken care of, it’s been resolved.’”

“That was a lie. You did not talk to President Trump that night,” Mr. Blanche said. “You can admit it.” “No sir, I can’t,” Mr. Cohen said. “Because I’m not sure that’s accurate.”

“This jury doesn’t want to hear what you think happened,” Mr. Blanche said.

Cohen appeared blindsided by the line of questioning, and wavered in his recollection of the phone call before blurting out "I believe I was telling the truth!"

After Cohen had his ass handed to him, CNN pundits were beside themselves.

"It was incredible...lawyers want to build a box around the witness & slam it shut--that's what Todd Blanche did to Cohen...it was an extraordinary cross...Cohen was cornered in...a lie," said host Anderson Cooper.



The network's top legal analyst said "I don't think I've ever seen a star witness get his knees chopped out quite as clearly and dramatically as what just happened with Michael Cohen."

Based on Cohen's testimony from today, I don't think Trump needs to put anyone on the stand in his defense. Cohen is Bragg's star witness and he admitted that the Daniels contract was valid. Catch and Kill payments are perfectly legal and done for many different reasons.

While Trump's team would very likely win a directed verdict motion in front of any other judge, this one will go out of his way to let this go to a jury for a conviction.

There are multiple grounds for appeal but this judge should grant the motion. Bragg put on a horrible case and I'm hopeful that the attorneys on the jury will see there's no crime and they'll vote to acquit.

This is funny as shit.

Fuggn clown show and heads outta roll.

A somewhat MSM report of President Trump’s trial:

“Not since Stormy stumbled out of a Nevada hotel room has anyone been so underwhelmed.

For four weeks, botoxed cable news hosts have been consumed, a presidential election has been hamstrung and those eating lunch have been revolted by sloppy, salacious testimony flowing like raw sewage out of a courthouse in lower Manhattan.

It's here that the first former US president in history has been put on trial for the crime of… well, we still don't know exactly.

According to the Democratic hacks in the Manhattan District Attorney's office, our 45th Commander-In-Chief once ordered a mental midget to pay a professional knob-polisher for her silence and then criminally cooked the books to hide the alleged game of hide-the-pickle. …”

And that's when I stopped reading.

“Former President Donald Trump is surging with a voter bloc you might not expect.

Black voters are flocking to Trump in huge numbers, while simultaneously leaving the side of President Joe Biden, CNN's average of polls showed. [this from CNN]

Trump's support among Black voters surged to 22 percent compared to 2020, when the 45th president only had the support of 9 percent of the demographic.

Biden, on the other hand, saw his 81 percent of Black voter support in 2020 dip to 69 percent.

CNN data analyst Harry Enten said this could be a 'troubling sign' for the Biden campaign, which heavily relied on Black voters [and fake ballots] to get him into the White House last time around.

If the trend of black voters aligning with Trump continues, he could win a larger share of them than any Republican presidential candidate since 1960, Enten added.

'This would be by far the best performance for a Republican candidate among Black voters in a generation, two generations, probably since 1960 and Richard Nixon against John F. Kennedy … This could be a truly historic margin.' …”
