Many #Trump allies had been secretly rooting for an #acquittal. The talking points wrote themselves: It would have been yet more evidence that the #UnitedStates #justice system was rigged in favor of #Bidens & against Trumps. Tues’s #guilty #verdict was inconvenient to that narrative.
Even more valuable would have been the #fundraising potential.

"If she [Hillary Clinton] were to win this election, it would create an unprecedented constitutional crisis. In that situation, we could very well have a sitting president under felony indictment and ultimately a criminal trial. It would grind government to a halt."
~ Donald J. Trump, 5 November 2016

Speech: Donald Trump - Reno, NV - November 5, 2016
Speech given by Donald Trump on November 5, 2016 in Reno, NV.YouTube
"And here’s a fun fact: There are many countries that will not admit #felons across their borders. This includes, apparently, Canada. #Trump cannot even travel to many countries, including some of our closest allies, and yet he hopes to represent the #UnitedStates. The absurdity of this stuns."

A Man Of His Convictions
The fallout from the jury verdict against Donald Trump begins.Jay Kuo (The Status Kuo)
"Trump stared blankly ahead as the verdict was read. 'Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty.'”

"There will be no such thing as an uninformed voter from this day forward. Everyone, with the possible exception of a cave explorer spelunking a thousand feet down at the bottom of Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, will hear the news that a jury of 12 citizens of New York City found Trump guilty of falsifying business records in order to conceal a sexual liaison with Stormy Daniels."

Trump guilty verdict changes everything
This is the first day of the rest of the campaign for president. Donald Trump’s conviction on all 34 counts at his trial in Manhattan changes everything.Lucian K. Truscott IV (Lucian Truscott Newsletter)
"ACCOUNTABILITY FOR TRUMP’S MISDEEDS is all the more important given that the U.S. Supreme Court, with its right-wing majority, is AWOL from its most basic tasks: seeking equal justice under law and winning public trust in a prudent and steady system of rules not subject to radical revision based on the whims of recent appointees."

Justice #Merchan calls in the #jury & instructs them that #Blanche’s comment about sending #Trump “to prison” was “improper” & that they must disregard it. He reminds them that a #prison sentence is NOT required in the event of a #guilty #verdict.

It's up to US to promote the win OUTSIDE THE courtroom.
#Trump needs to be fought & defeated in multiple venues.
Media & social media are critical arenas today.
We can’t count on wins in the courts to save us.
Celebrate Trump’s #guilty verdict by destroying the #TeflonDon Myth. Then keep fighting.

I predict Trump will be found guilty. Someone from the NY AGs office will make a statement on the steps of the courthouse. Jury Finds Donald Trump Guilty In E Jean Carroll Defamation Case May 10, 2023 https://www.youtube.Digby's Hullabaloo
#Blanche is focusing on the 34 docs that led to the 34 #felony charges. He sounded as if he was getting close to making a #legal argument about “intent to defraud.” The #jurors would have to find that #Trump acted w/ #intent to #defraud when he directed the falsification of the docs in order to find him #guilty.
Justice #Merchan appeared to glare at Blanche as he came close to commenting on the #law. But the defense lawyer moved away & the judge said nothing.
