took the high road and said saddened. i was kind of grossed out by the entire thing. habba, one of the things we know about donald trump, is he has been searching for his roy cohn for a long time. he wants pugnacious, obnoxious lawyers. he got one in this lady. what i think is sort of striking in this she was right that this is unavoidably political. you have got the front liner for the republican nomination in all this. but what is interesting to me as a legal matter is that they want to have it both ways. they want to say, look, the jury cleared him of his rape charge. at the same time, they want to say this was a runaway, ideologically obsessed , irrational, and marco rubio said, that jury is ridiculous or whatever. to me, it sort of sounds like they are actually pretty rational and discriminating in
discerning what they were going to say there was evidence for and what there was not worried if they were simply rabid anti- trump people, why wouldn t they throw the rape charge in there? i think that will hurt them on appeal, when they try to overturn the jury verdict on fact , when you cannot actually claim the jury were these rabid, irrational people like they are claiming in the public opinion, because they are not actually doing the worst thing possible for trump. i was curious what you thought about this, too. on one hand, first she mentioned that he did testify . he did not testify in open court in front of the jury, period. he did not. his testimony became all the more important from the deposition, and he did not counter it in a live testimony for the jury to actually here. that s number one. number two, perhaps more importantly, when you think about how all this goes down, they keep talking about how he was cleared of rape. if you actually read the complaint, there were t
who are politicians so you took the high road. i was grossed out by the whole thing. miss hava, one of the things we know about him is that he has been searching for his for a long time. he wants pugnacious, obnoxious lawyers who will fight dirty and it seems like he has got one in this lady. i, what i think is striking she is right. she was right that this is unavoidably political. there was a front runner for the republican nomination. of course. what s interesting to me is illegal matters that they want to have it both ways. you want to say that look, the jury cleared him of his rape charge. at the same time they want to say this was a runaway, ideological-y obsessed, irrational, mark rubio said, that jury is ridiculous. whatever. but, to me, sounds like they are actually pre rational and discriminating in discerning about what they were going to say. there was evidence for and what there wasn t. if they were simply rabid anti trump people, why wouldn t they just throw the r
delay actions and to create chaos. so there is no surprise that he s going to appeal, this but i don t, feel based on everything that was presented in this trial that he has a strong basis for appeal. yes the jury can decide, as they did that there wasn t enough evidence to find him liable on the rape charge. but there was suspicious evidence to find him liable for sexual assault. and, under the new york law, to find someone liable for a, but there has to be evidence of penetration. but a sexual battery under the new york law only requires the finding of an unwanted touching of them. a touching of someone s intimate and personal parts without their consent. so, it completely they found that there was a sexual battery by professional, trump but they also found it wasn t sufficient evidence for the. read it, doesn t in anyway diminish the significance of what happened today. and that is the former u.s.
i think that this is going to be seen, as we know prior issues have, two impeachment, january 6th, as an attack on president trump by his stalwart supporters, right? the question is if you are ron desantis or glenn youngkin who is maybe considering down the road getting into this race, right, desantis looks like he will do it very soon, you have to ask yourself about evangelical voters who peeled away from president trump in a fairly substantive way and ask those about the suburban women voters in places like atlanta, in phoenix, in chicago, in michigan, in wisconsin, all of these places, right? does it change how they feel? it is very interesting, right? he was not found liable on the rape charge. he was found liable on the battery sexual abuse charge. there was a time it would have
