There's also the apparent intent on Bragg's part to have former Trump attorney Michael Cohen as a key witness against Trump. After Grand Jury testimony today that strategy may be blown up.

Yes, it does indeed seem that any hush money case Bragg brings against Trump will include Cohen as a key witness. And yes, Cohen's credibility will certainly be questioned by the Trump lawyers if that happens. But I'm not so sure about "that strategy may be blown up."

Until the expected case is actually brought, we have no idea what it will include. But notwithstanding the Costello testimony given to the grand jury about Cohen, and Costello's media-tour comments about it, we have no way of knowing if the grand jury jurors bought Costello's story. That's because grand jury proceedings are secret.

At present, Cohen and Costello are both talking to the media, and all we have so far are the two trashing each other's credibility.

Man to hear the news pundits talk about how trump is going to be arrested and put in handcuffs is something else.....they act like trump is a great evil being put in its place.
And then you have Biden doing appsolootly nothing about the southern border and all the fentanyl coming in.

Liberals are frauds now. They’ve become dumb Leftists foaming at the mouth with pompoms in their hands cheering an arrest for some bogus charge against Trump.
It is past the statute of limitations for both state and federal laws but that doesn't mean squat to Democrats.

Costello certainly seems to have the upper hand in this situation since he's not a convicted perjurer and had hard evidence to support his testimony. Apparently there were over 300 pages of Cohen's emails given to Bragg and he only presented 6 to the Grand Jury, thus excuding exculpatory evidence.

"According to Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett, it appears that the Bragg may have suppressed hundreds of pages of evidence that could potentially exonerate President Trump in this case."

Is This the Protest Trump Had in Mind?

FOX News: "Former President Donald Trump's supporters are far outnumbered in New York City ahead of his potential arrest Wednesday, despite the Republican's call for his voters to "PROTEST, PROTEST, PROTEST."

"Demonstrators cheering on the potential indictment against Trump gathered outside the offices of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, drowning out the handful of protesters there supporting the former president, according to Politico."

Both of your points are correct. There are indeed people out there who consider Trump to be a great evil being. And southern border security is unacceptably lax.

Biden has done treason level crimes with the taking of classified documents as vice president and copying information over to note books.....and then stored said documents in unsecured places.
Trump had former classified documents stored in a secure room with even extra locks when asked to add them along with secret service as added security.
But trump is a criminal because he paid off a sleazy lawyer that later tried to extort money from nike.
I see trump's attorneys using both the statute of limitations and the fact that the lawyer was put in jail for extortion.....if it gos to trial.

We'll find out for sure if charges are actually filed. If it is actually past the statute of limitations, you can count on the Trump team to raise that point with the court. And no court in the land would permit such a charge, if in fact it was outside the statute of limitations. So, for now, you can claim all you want it is past the statute of limitations, but i the charges are actually filed and allowed by the court, you will be proven wrong.

Your ability to twist logic is highly refined.

If that was true, would Trump himself not cry "statute of limitations?" Instead he said he'll be arrested on Tuesday.
Perfectly fine using the Statute of Limitations argument as a legal defense, (which is available to all citizens)especially against a partisan and incompetent prosecutor.

Yes, it is perfectly fine to use the statute of limitations argument ... if the statute of limitations actually applies. But in this case, it does not yet apply. It could apply at a later date, but it does not apply now. And if charges are brought before the statute of limitations expires, the statute of limitations argument becomes irrelevant.
