Trump faces do-or-die moment with hush money trial

BY ELLA LEE AND ZACH SCHONFELD - 04/11/24 6:00 AM ET

Former President Trump is facing a do-or-die moment in his effort to delay the start of his first criminal trial, with his choice of punting tactics dwindling in the days leading up to his day in court in New York.

The former president has vigorously fought to stave off his criminal trials until after Election Day — an endeavor that, if successful, could put the four cases against him on ice should he win the White House.

Trump hasn’t completely run out of options on the hush money case, but judges this week rejected some of his remaining eleventh-hour strategies.

That has provided the clearest sign yet that Trump’s trial over his alleged role in concealing a hush money payment to porn actress Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election will begin Monday.

“Their entire strategy for years and years has been delay, delay, delay,” said Jessica Levinson, a law professor at Loyola Marymount University. “This is true in the federal cases, it’s true in the state cases — it’s been true of any inquiry, even, that he faces.

“When it comes to the timing, it certainly is the case that the later this goes, the better it is for Trump,” she said.

   He should have learned a lesson from Nixon.  The coverup is worse than the crime.

It's unconstitutional. @realDonaldTrump
   NYC trial charges him with bookkeeping crime to hide a "felony." But DA has not named the felony. It's like charging you with robbing a bank but not telling you which bank. It's a due process violation, meaning not fair.

Except that what Trump did isn't a crime.  Paying for sex would be a crime.  But no one is prosecuting him for that.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

Paying for sex is a crime?  The hell you say.  Getting sex for free is a crime.
