Trump's lawyer: Trump will be found guilty

Trump's former White House lawyer says Trump will be found guilty

I told you, Dummy, stop farting.

(Newsweek) Today (May 28, 2024), Trump's former lawyer Ty Cobb warned that the ex-president will likely be found guilty because of jury instructions.

Trump's ex-lawyer predicted this week that the ex-president will be found guilty in his ongoing criminal trial in Manhattan, NY, citing the jury instructions given by New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan.

On Tuesday, former White House lawyer Ty Cobb spoke with Morgan Chalfant of Semafor about Trump's ongoing criminal trial where he is accused of more than 30 felonies and financial fraud surrounding his hush money payments to prostitute and former adult film star Stormy Daniels in 2016.

They can't find me guilty. I'm me!

"If the jury begins deliberations Tuesday afternoon, expect a verdict no later than Friday afternoon. I expect a 'GUILTY' verdict, but only because the jury instructions as urged by the DA (district attorney) and adopted by the judge, over strenuous and well-founded defense objections, virtually require conviction," Cobb said to Semafor.

"I reach this legal conclusion because of my long experience as a federal prosecutor and white collar defense lawyer, my reverence for the rule of law, and despite my view that Trump remains the greatest threat to Democracy in our nation's history," Cobb added.

Newsweek has reached out to Cobb for comment.

Trump appeared in court on Tuesday (today, 5/28/24) in New York for his ongoing criminal trial brought by District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

Trump was indicted last April by Bragg, who said that the ex-president "fraudulently falsified New York business records to conceal crimes that hid damaging information—including a $130,000 hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels—from the public during the 2016 presidential campaign."

Sell courtroom art: Biden at his war crimes trial

Stormy Daniels describes alleged sexual encounter with criminal defendant Donald "John" Trump, who called her "Honeybunch" in repeated calls after their infidelity, while stringing her along with false promises of putting her on his TV show The Apprentice, as he cheated on his young wife, Melania, who was at home caring for their long newborn son, Barron Trump.

"You remind me of my daughter [Ivanka]": Stormy reveals incestuous encounter with horny Trump

Ivanka: I know Daddy wants me. [He's had me.]

(MSNBC) May 7, 2024: Stormy Daniels is detailing her sexual encounter with former Pres. Trump in 2006, lying to her that she should go on his show "The Apprentice." Former federal prosecutor Paul Butler, MSNBC legal contributor Katie Phang, and criminal defense attorney David Markus join José Díaz-Balart to analyze the testimony. #Trump #StormyDaniels #Trial

(ABC News) May 7, 2024: In dramatic testimony, Ms. Stormy testified in vivid detail about the grotesque sexual experience Trump made her endure in an almost blackout condition, where she wished she was dead rather than having this happen to her.

Trump pushes into his adult diaper in court.

Her encounter with Donald Trump was recounted as almost rape (which is what attorney Gloria Allred prompted her to label it) with a disgusting man with a small and misshapen penis (as previously pointed out in extreme detail to late night host Jimmy Kimmel) as he was sitting just a few feet away, farting and trying not to fall asleep, as he and one of his sons were trying to look disinterested.

Trump mouthed "bullsh*t" at one point because he still maintains that he does not know Ms. Daniels, none of this ever happened, and he has never even met her.

I can't wait to use the bathroom in prison.

The judge, who could throw Trump in jail for contempt of court (after dinging him with ten $1,000 fines) is being very patient. He seemed put off by Stormy's graphic sexual details, but it was necessary to hear her out to establish that Trump does know her, this did happen, and Trump did commit financial crimes like fraud in attempting to conceal it with a hush money payment made through his former attorney Michael Cohen, who it was revealed in open court used to refer to Trump as "VonShitzinPantz" (Von Shits in Pants) because of Trump's incontinence and inability to hold in either his farts or feces.

The judge is getting angrier with Trump than the last judge, who famously fined Trump over half-a-billion dollars for being a contemptible defendant in his courtroom. How much will this first of many criminal trials cost Trump?

Don't touch me, Germs! Rudy did it; arrest him.

The names of seven of the defendants, including Rudy Giuliani, are redacted, but the document makes clear who they are by describing their roles.

An Arizona grand jury has indicted 18 allies of Donald Trump for their criminal efforts to subvert the 2020 election — including former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and attorneys Rudy Giuliani and Boris Epshteyn.

The indictment, which includes felony counts of conspiracy, fraud, and forgery, also describes Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator. More

Grand jury forewoman under fire after interview(s)

I'm a bubbly character.

(Inside Edition) Feb. 22, 2023. The forewoman of the grand jury investigating Ex-Pres. Donny Trump is under fire after partaking in many interviews. Emily Kohrs just wrapped up an eight-month investigation into alleged election interference by Trump and his crony companions in Georgia. Kohrs was seen trying hard not to say something she shouldn't about the case during an interview. Legal experts are baffled at Kohrs’ decision to speak out, which puts her at the center of attention and potentially gets Trump out of trouble. Now, Trump is going after the forewoman on his laughable Twitter-like platform "Truth Social."

Prosecutor manipulates Grand Jury; Hagel out

Pat Macpherson, Pfc. Sandoval, Ashley Wells, Wisdom Quarterly; Euronews, 11-25-14

Justice demands an indictment. Attorney Rob McCulloch fails (handsupdontshoot.com)

"Riot is the language of the unheard" - MLK Jr.

Whites protest racist injustice in USA.

From Los Angeles and Oakland, California to New York, there have been widespread protests in the wake of the Ferguson ruling -- not an ordinary grand jury but a secret, one-sided trial orchestrated by a racist, biased, pro-police prosecutor to make it impossible for the hand selected grand jurors to reasonably return any other "verdict."

What should have gone to public trial was instead litigated behind closed doors where outrageously murderer Darren Wilson was allowed to give his side of why he chose to kill unarmed teenager Michael Brown, whereas all eyewitnesses were systematically discounted, discredited, and dismissed unless they confirmed Wilson's story.

Hands up, don't shoot, racist policeman.

The purpose of the grand jury system is to determine simply if there is enough of a reason to send someone to trial, not to secretly hold a one-sided trial. We were all deprived of justice, all deprived of a vigorous prosecution, or any kind of justice.

Therefore, justice goes to the street to demand reform. Out of 165,000 grand jury cases in one year, only 11 failed to bring back an indictment, according to Vince Warren (Democray Now!, Sojourner Truth, Nov. 25, 2014).

Right wing hypocrite

In Los Angeles, demonstrators expressed frustration and disappointment with the decision but few said they were surprised by the official ruling as they consider the life of a young black man is considered cheap.

Obama lied: US War on Afghanistan to continue

(Euronews.com, Nov. 24, 2014)

Mouthpiece for the Pentagon

Obama pressures Secretary of War Hagel to resign and step down or be fired then lies about it as U.S. president signs secret order to continue U.S. War on Afghanistan.

Did he jump ship, or was he pushed off? Officially, Chuck Hagel has "resigned" as U.S. Defense Secretary after less than two years on the job -- in a move confirmed by Pres. B.S. Obama at the White House.

The mainstream media is set up to perpetuate the status quo, the sexist, racist, capitalist ways things are, and there's nothing anyone can do about it...or is there? (Tom Tomorrow/thismodernworld.com)

The disappointing U.S. president heaped fake praise on Hagel, a U.S. War on Vietnam veteran and former Republican senator. (After all, allegedly "liberal," "progressive," "socialist," Nobel Peace Laureate Pres. Obama selected a Republican to lead the Department of War via the Pentagon war rooms, and no one in the mainstream media made much of it).

"There is one thing I know about Chuck," Obama told a joint news conference between bouts of fake praise. "He does not make this or any decision lightly. This decision [to accept me telling him to step down] does not come easily to him. But I consider myself extraordinarily lucky to h… More

It is as if an inmate's sentence -- handed down by a biased judge or jury, after hearing both sides of a case -- somehow requires more mistreatment, neglect, terror, or death.

Once the Buddha was abiding near Nalanda in the Parileyyaka mango grove. Then Asibandhakaputta the village headman went to him, bowed, sat respectfully to one side, and said:

"Venerable sir, the Westlander Brahmins, who carry water pots, wear water plant garlands, cleanse themselves with purifying water, and worship fire -- can take [the spirit or animating principle of] a dead person, lift it out, instruct it, and send it on to a heavenly rebirth.

  
"But the Blessed One, worthy and perfectly enlightened, can arrange it so that all the world, at the breakup of the body, after death, reappears in a fortunate destination, on a heavenly plane!"

"Very well, headman, I will ask you about this matter; answer as you see fit. What do you think? There is a person who

1. takes life,
2. takes what is not given,
3. takes sexual liberties,
4. takes the truth in vain (by perjury, 
5. divisive speech,
6. harsh speech, or
7. idle chitchat),
8. is greedy (lustful-selfish-full of craving),
9. bears thoughts of ill-will, and/or
10. holds to wrong views.

"Then a great crowd of people, gathering and congregating, would honor, praise, and respectfully circumambulate with folded hands (anjali mudra), saying: 'May this person, at the breakup of the body, after death, reappear in a good destination, on a heavenly plane!'

  

"What do you think? Would that person -- because of the honor, praise, and circumambulation of that great crowd -- at the breakup of the body, after death, reappear in a good destination, on a heavenly plane?"

 

"No, venerable sir."

"Suppose a person were to throw a large boulder into a deep body of water, and a great crowd, gathering and congregating, would honor, praise, and circumambulate with folded hands, saying: 'Rise up, O boulder! Float up, O boulder! Float to the shore, O boulder!'

  

"What do you think? Would that boulder -- because of the honor, praise, and circumambulation of that great crowd -- rise up, float up, or move to the shore?"

 

"No, venerable sir."

  

"So it is with anyone who takes life, takes what is not given, takes sexual liberties, takes the truth in vain (engages in perjury, divisive speech, harsh speech, or idle chitchat), is greedy, bears thoughts of ill-will, and/or holds to wrong views.
   
"Even though a great crowd, gathering and congregating, would honor, praise, and circumambulate with folded hands, saying, 'May this person, at the breakup of the body, after death, reappear in a good destination, on a heavenly plane!' -- nevertheless, at the breakup of the body, after death, that person would reappear destitute in an unfortunate destination, in subhuman worlds, even in hellish worlds."

Lying: Buddhist Abstaining; How to Spot It

Dharmachari (WQ)
Buddha, Thiksey monastery, Buddhist India: Leh, Ladakh

Regarding lies and karma, Buddhism is clear. It is harmful. The consequences are certain. But fruition (phala) is delayed. Results (vipaka) may be immediate: one is pained here and hereafter. It is noteworthy that what is called a "lie" is less about absolute honesty and more about perjury. The lies that really matter -- whether of commission or omission -- are those regarding testimony.

There is no necessity of hurting feelings with the "brutal truth" at every opportunity. Compassion is more important. But that compassion is trumped by the need to be honest when called on to account. For example, when brought before an assembly (an audience) or a tribunal or one's peers, not omitting what you know or have seen and not inventing what you do not know or have not seen, that is the important thing.

The Buddha was remarkable but not unique in that he never lied. Many lives, many aeons in the past, the Bodhisat or "Buddha-to-be" (Judeo-Christian "Josaphat," Rhys Davids' Buddhist Birth-Stories) gave up lying. It was this karma, he explains, that gave him many benefits in the round of rebirth. He enjoyed heavenly lives, he was trusted, he avoided painful destinations, he had a mellifluous voice, he was respected, he was loved, he was listened to, he had influence, he died clear and unconfused... It is remarkable and astounding the degree to which honesty is beneficial.

Buddhism was well received and spread far beyond India (when the plethora of competing philosophies did not) because it was truthy, as Stephen Colbert would say, but moreover because the Buddha as a figure was trustworthy. His words were treasured. He was compelling. People wanted to listen to him and received his message well. This he explained was due to the karma (merit) he had long willed, performed, and accumulated. (One can argue whether or not he ever uttered a deliberate untruth; it does not seem difficult to imagine that he abstained from the literal definition of "false speech").

The Five Precepts are a minimal effort, simply being human:

1. One abstains from taking the life of living beings.
2. One abstains from taking what is not given.
3. One abstains from sexual misconduct.
4. One abstains from false speech.
5. One abstains from intoxicants.

What is "false speech"? Each of the precepts has an exact, technical definition. At a minimum, it means not to tell deliberate untruths. Technically, however, it is fourfold and may be practiced in its full form for maximum benefits: abstaining from perjury as well as abstaining from speech that is divisive, harsh, or frivolously-distracting.

• The Karma of Talking (WQ)

One will be honest. But the world will still be false: lies, perjury, distorts...fibs. Is it possible to tell when? Yes, here's how.

(Forbes.com) Does everyone fib? Many of us do -- many of us as often as we brush our teeth. While there is no surefire way to sniff out a dissembler, there are some helpful clues and tactics for uncovering untruths. Here are 11:

1. Tricky Tilt
   Truthful people more likely to face her questioners head on. Liars, on the other hand, are"likely to lack frontal alignment and will often sit with both their arms and legs crossed as if frozen," says Joseph Buckley, president of John E. Reid & Associates, which has provided interview and interrogation training to more than 500,000 law enforcement agents to date.
2. Imprecise Pronouns
   There is an "I" in "lie," but often not in the lie itself. To psychologically distance themselves from the lie, people often pepper their tales with second- and third-person pronouns like "you," "we," and "they."
3. Heavy Hands
   When telling the truth, people often make hand gestures to the rhythm of their speech. Hands emphasize points or phrases -- a natural and compelling technique when they actually believe the points they're making. The less certain will keep gesticulations in check.
4. Nervous Nellie
   Skilled liars don't break a sweat; the rest of us get a little fidgety. Four possible giveaways: shifty eyes, higher vocal pitch, perspiration and heavier breathing. Be careful, though: Not everyone who doesn't meet your gaze is a liar. "Certain behavioral traits like averting eye contact could be cultural and not indicative of a liar," says Buckley.
5. The Reid Technique
   A registered trademark of John E. Reid & Associates, the Reid Technique is a nine-step interrogation process that many U.S. law enforcement agencies employ to ferret out lies. The goal of the process is to lead the liar down a path such that he or she eventually has no choice but to admit guilt. For more on the technique, check out reid.com.
6. Curious Questions
   Liars are more likely to ask that questions be repeated and preface pronouncements with, "to tell you the truth," and "to be perfectly honest," says Buckley. Evasive answers to direct questions should raise your hackles, too.
7. Tongues as Long as Telephone Wires
   Something about the phone seems to bring out the liar in us. In one week-long study of 30 college students, Hancock observed that the phone was the most popular weapon of choice, enabling 37% of the lies told in this time, versus 27% during face-to-face exchanges, 21% using Web-based messaging and just 14% via E-mail. Little surprise, perhaps: Most phone calls don't leave a record behind.
8. Sparse Specifics
   Liars -- amateur ones, anyway -- may not have thought through all the particulars of their stories. If you suspect you're being lied to, gently probe for details. (You don't want the person to know you're on to him.)
9. Pregnant Pauses
   When a person is lying, the gaps between their words often increase, according to a 2002 study led by Robin Lickley, professor of speech and language at Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh, Scotland. While honest folks have the truth locked and loaded, liars tend to take more time between points -- no doubt searching for which approach will be the most convincing.
10. Lack of Cooperation
    Used-car salesmen not-withstanding, people gen-erally don't like to lie. It makes them uncomfortable, even surly. "While a truthful person is concerned, composed, and sincere, a liar is often defensive, guarded, and less cooperative," says Buckley.
11. Need to Be Right
    When honest people tell stories, they may realize partway through that they left out some details and unselfconsciously backtrack to fill in holes. They also may realize a previous statement wasn't quite right, and go back and explain further. Liars, on the other hand, "are worried that someone might catch them in a lie and are reluctant to admit to such ordinary imperfections," says psychologist Bella DePaulo, author of more than a dozen deception studies.
