Jury HAS reached a verdict. 11 hours, 43 minutes.
Developing.
Analysis is saying the jury using the word “verdict” indicates this is not a hung jury.
Jury has asked for more time to fill out paperwork, which makes sense, 34 counts x 12 jurors, 408 line items?
Judge has now called for the jury.
Detail on each count here, 3 basic categories:

Conviction
Sentencing
Other grand juries, such as for the documents at Bedminster, or the Arizona fake electors, have not been announced.
The E. Jean Carroll trial for sexual assault and defamation where Trump was found liable and ordered to pay $5 million before immediately defaming her again resulting in a demand for $10 million is not listed as it’s a civil case and not a crimimal one. He was found liable in that case for $83.3 million.
There had been multiple cases in multiple states to remove Trump from the ballot, citing ineligibility under the 14th amendment.
The Supreme Court ruled on March 4th that states do not have the ability to determine eligibility in Federal elections.
Reading the live updates warmed the cockles of my heart! The fact this jury did its job based on all the evidence is great. That orange troll deserved this, I hope the sentencing is something that will humiliate Trump to the max; I feel so happy that this shit burglar is getting this verdict.
I want to see him American History X go in a shit-heel and come out a better person. Doesn’t seem likely, but here we are.
The guy is responsible for actual American deaths. From his rhetoric, from his inaction, from his actions, and from his refusal to just leave peacefully.
May he rot in jail.
Where’s my party hat?!
here’s a tune for you
https://yt.artemislena.eu/watch?v=Rn9Dkg_vRJc
How funny would it be if Trump can’t attend the first presidential debate in Georgia because he can’t leave the state.
So THAT’S how he weasels out of the debate. Oh, I tip my hat to his long-game.
Biden should offer to go to Rikers for the debate.
Aw this is great. I hope his burger grease laden heart explodes in his chest from the stress.
Sentencing is set for July 11.
So, it’s Biden’s fault, it’s the DA’s fault, it’s the corrupt judge’s fault. Everyone but you Donny.
Classic malignant narcissist.
It has now been brought to my attention that you can take the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles song and instead sing:
Trump is a convicted felon
Trump is a convicted felon
Trump is a convicted felonTrump is a convicted felon
Trump is a convicted felon
Trump is a convicted felon
Put him in a jail cell
Justice Power!
Because he paid a pornstar, Tobequiet.
Is prostitution illegal in NY? Why did he not just say “I wanted to fuck a pornstar so I did”?
It wasn’t the prostitution, it was that he commit fraud, he used election funds to pay her and then falsified documents saying he didn’t. It was fraud, not prostitution
It was discussed during the Hope Hicks testimony and others. After the Access Hollywood tape came out, his poll numbers took a nosedive. He was afraid that a story about cheating on his wife with a porn star would doom the campaign so he arranged to pay hush money to her and talked about on stiffing her on the rest of the payments after the election.
He was specifically illegally conspiring to keep it a secret from voters, that’s why it was a felony instead of a misdemeanor falsification of business records.
If the story hadn’t been about to come out in late October 2016 and the Access Hollywood tape hadn’t just come out, there’s a decent chance he wouldn’t have paid her off.
As in most things in life, it’s all about timing and that was a big part of the prosecutions case for establishing motive.
GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY!!!
GUILTY ON ALL 34 COUNTS!!! FUCK YOU DJT!!!
The Republicans lining up to cry false tears and lick convicted felon Trump’s felonious taint are even more disgusting than usual.
Trump is now an official member of FAFO.

Meidas touch is a YT channel composed mostly of lawyers who take a particularly ‘legal’ take on the news and days events. They have MIchael Cohen as a contributor. They have former prosecutors from the NY Attorney Generals office as contributers.
These are the guys to be watching for this.
Now will CNN introduce him as 45th president of the United States and convicted felon Donald j trump? Can we get a GoFundMe to make it happen?
Pardon my ignorance, but I’ve seen that “title” all over -is it common to call convicted felons as such, as a title of sorts, before their name ?
It is when they are an individual of notoriety of any kind being discussed in the media… it is just another adjective to add to their list of accolades.
Donald J Trump, 45th President of the United States, convicted felon, khaleesi of the great grass sea, first of his name.
No matter the verdict, we will all be sentenced to round-the-clock coverage of two candidates we don’t like for the next 5.5 months
🙄
“Trump may be convicted of a felony but Biden is kinda mediocre, so they are pretty much the same”
