Sexual Assault and harassment has changed a lot since the first trial. How much that impacted the jury in their deliberations, i dont know, theyre human beings. I know they were ad monished not to allow what was going on in the culture and socially to interfer
jack smith has to prove two things as every federal prosecutor does to put someone in jail. you have to have a bad act and a bad criminal intent. when andrew weissman talks about fake electors and the plot in the seven states to throw out the popular vote and just replace them with fake electors that state legislatures dreamed up, that all goes to the bad act, the actus reas, the agreement to do something that is illegal. trump s defense has always been more on the mens rea side i legitimately thought i won the election so, i didn t have a bad criminal intent. i was safeguarding american democracy. that s where the other part of the detail in this indictment becomes so significant, both the part that you just flashed on
introduce them at a trial if it ever gets there, of course, in what is called bad act evidence. to show that there is a modus operandi for this guy, which is that he is a pathological liar. as i said a minute ago, he truly has a defense lawyer s nightmare. i couldn t imagine how to represent someone like this. but you re absolutely right. it s absurd. i ve been thinking today about just how hard it is, how hard it is to commit the crime of making materially false statements to the house of representatives. i mean, the thousands of lying members of the house of representatives who have filed financial district forms and never been caught up in a crime as a result of forming those forms, and there comes george santos and as soon as you give him a form to file in the house
