we were starting a business from the ground up. people were showing up left and right. and so did our business needs. the chase ink card made it easy. when you go for something big like this, your kids see that. and they believe they can do the same. earn unlimited 1.5% cash back on every purchase with the chase ink business unlimited card from chase for business. make more of what s yours. everybody wants super straight, super white teeth. they want that hollywood white smile. new sensodyne clinical white provides 2 shades whiter teeth and 24/7 sensitivity protection. i think it s a great product. it s going to help a lot of patients. judge merchan, who admonished the press for reporting jury descriptions and gave this example, there was really no need to mention that one of the jurors had an irish accent. that is true. that little detail allowed me to positively identify him as the lucky charms guy.
secret, this is a public trial. which means that information that is given in open court is heard by the reporters who are covering this trial. it is not televised but it is being reported very closely. by various aspects of the media and some of that has been recorded. and one of the jurors seated thought differently about it when her colleagues and family members told her she could be identified based on her employer and the nature of her work and she was quite concerned about that. and so we have this concern from many of the people who are going to be on this panel, not only the questions about their impartiality, but they actually have real fears given the nature of this defendant and those who follow him about whether or not this is going to compromise their safety and make it more difficult for them if they do their civic duty and perform on this jury. andrew, same question, and if you do want to weigh in on the
that is sort of a standard argument that you have to be prepared for if you are a prosecutor when you re bringing a case against people who are not doing the dirty work themselves. and so, i think here, one of the things that you re going to hear about, is first, donald trump s management style. we re not talking about a person who is running exxon, who had hundreds of thousands of people working for him. this is a small family business with somebody who is, i think by all accounts, very hands on and very focused on the details. but also he wrote the checks. so you re going to see checks that he signed and i think that in itself is going to be very compelling evidence, because he reimbursed michael cohen for the hush money payments is what you re going to hear. but it wasn t on a one to one basis. because they had to say, oh, these are legal fees, that meant that michael cohen was going to have to pay taxes on them so instead of reimbursing michael

michael cohen and how those were entered into the books. even though he s signing these checks, the question is how much does he know about how the accountant is ano tating them, as legal fee, as opposed to payment of hush money or blackmail money or whatever you want to call it. and, so, you have to first get to his knowledge of, as the ceo of a major corporation that is making payments like this all of the time, is that something he even knows what he s doing. and then when you then try to connect it to that target offense, one of the interesting things here is bragg has not well he said it could be any number of things. which law. let me slow you down. we ll get to that. yeah. right. we ll get to that. you made two points. let s deal with your first point. one defense is just the lawyers on behalf of the defendant saying, hey, how are you going to prove that he was in on this notation. i have a little bit of sound
