get their opportunity to go through their theory of the case. now, you know, in the press we are gearing to -- referring it to the hush money case but that is not at all. 35 counts of falsifying business records in order to commit or conceal another crime. i should note, that the intent to commit a crime obviously would be one that donald trump would want to commit himself but attempt to conceal that can be someone else's crime. you know that the district attorney is going to fight to elicit from michael cohen he pled guilty to a federal election law violation. they will not only speak to elicit those facts but the fact of his plea and that in pleading guilty that was his formal break from donald trump under whose spell he had fallen for a number of years as the first person donald trump spoke to in the morning and the last person he spoke to at night. when he decided to plea out and

for purposes orof protecting his business, marriage, and many other valid reasons for somebody to engage in a hush money or nondisclosure agreement with individual whose coming forward with allegations that simplythat claims are not true. it is not just that level, but the defenst ite also has to beve raised that even if that specific intent is found in the firs t part of the elements, that there is an additional element that they must prove, and additional crime, essentially, that it was dealing with an election money cover up. so, they were so many layers here. thneede defense needs to put thi case forward in the opening statement and talk a lot about the specific intent elements required here and the difficultg prosecutors are going to have. finally, they need to have more beyond a reasonable doubt standard and to never let back on that. >> trey: carrie, i am going to make you a jury consultant, at least fo ar the next couple of
is directing this. he knows that he's directing it. that's the inference they're saying the evidence is going to demonstrate, and this is why i keep saying time is a witness because it's also the proximity and time, that point about right after two calls with donald trump, then michael cohen goes across the street and opens a bank account? and oh, by the way, you're going to have a transcript of an audio tape where they're actually talking about how michael cohen is setting this up. all of this both helps to corroborate the points that we know michael cohen is probably going to make but it's also to say look at all of this together and you can't stay away from the fact that donald trump is directly in this. that's what the prosecution is saying to the jury. >> and going back to intent, another key line from this opening statement by the prosecution is, quote, it was election fraud pure and simple,
actual funds. i think they're presenting what they expect to be their counternarrative because they have to, and we'll see whether it's effective. >> blanche is now saying president trump had nothing to do with the invoices. he had nothing to do. he was just essentially dealing with a ledger like people deal with their checking account checks, and when you say the president had nothing to do with it, you're in a sense saying he can't be guilty of anything he didn't know about. >> yeah, they're saying where's the intent here? >> there's an interesting thing that one of the prosecutors did in jury voir dire, which essentially he was saying to the jury you understand, right, that, you know, if someone takes a contract out with a hitman to kill their wife, that person's guilty of a crime, right? i mean, that's sort of their way of saying, yeah, donald trump did not have to personally engage in every single act to
intent, the intent to conceal to further his election. i want you to remember all these patterns. because you're not necessarily going to have that person who says donald trump told me explicitly that he wanted to make sure he won. it's not going to be that direct, right? it's going to be time as a witness. it's going to be the meetings, all the phone calls that show that donald trump was in this and he was in this to win this and that this was the election, not his relationship with his wife or anything else that defense attorneys might try to suggest as holes in the theories of the case. that's why all this matters. it's really painting the picture. that trailer is a set of pictures. you want the jury to see the same picture over and pictures, you want the jury to see the same picture over and over again. this is a guy who didn't want the public to know the truth about him so he could win. >> a mentioning of bringing up your case's weaknesses before
