    Trump’s lawyer does not want to talk about the Buffalo Bills anymore

    While some sports fans might enjoy this detour, Trump’s lawyer Chris Kise has not. Kise is objecting to the prosecutors line of argument. They recently showed a document that stated Trump wanted to buy the Bills for $1 billion, and had a net worth “in excess” of $8 billion at the time.

    Kise wonders “what relevance… is being established by this? Because on its face there’s nothing to indicate President Trump didn’t have the financial ability to buy the Bills,” he said. Trump never bought the Bills, and no transaction was completed. “This is the danger of these hypothetical transactions,” Kise, said, later adding, “I don’t see how this exhibit is evidence of fraud”.

    The prosecutor argues the document is proof Trump lied about his worth. “Because fraud was not fully perpetrated” does not mean it was not relevant, the prosecutor says.

      Trying and failing to commit fraud is still fraud. Trying and failing to overturn a free and fair election is still a crime.

    He basically admitted as much when he said his networth can change based on how he feels.

        How many countless treasonous things has he done already and he still walks free? Best we’ll get is some house arrest or something

        Because they are stupid. He probably won’t ever go to prison, but only an idiot would state it as fact.

    Michael Cohen was one of millions and millions of people who thought, and in ever increasing numbers still think, correctly, that the 2020 Presidential Election was RIGGED & STOLLEN, AND OUR COUNTRY IS BEING ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED BECAUSE OF IT!!! MR. COHEN WAS NOT MY ATTORNEY, AND NEVER WAS.
