Andrew Weissmann has a good point on jury request

Just now on MSNBC, he said to the effect: The defense said during closing that during the Trump Tower meeting, no discussion of “catch and kill” at the meeting. There were two Trump Tower meetings in Jan 2017. The one where Pecker was in attendance, on Jan 6, 2017, Trump thanked Pecker for killing the stories about McDougal and the doorman. Weissmann said the defense closing argument statement about catch and kill probably caused the jury’s request. And it will backfire on the defense since Trump used the word kill, it makes the defense seem like they were using weasel words to fool the jury.

She denied her 'patients' palliative care when they were dying in pain, because she got off to their suffering. But when she was sick, it was getting on a private plane to get state-of-the-art care.

She was EVIL INCARNATE, and anybody who calls her a good person is as evil as she was.

I am in 110% agreement with you.

You may catch some "blow back" for your honesty, but rest assured that you are not alone in your feelings.

Maybe they are walking through the case in order. Maybe Pecker pretty much sealed it earlier with what is the foundation of the case. That’s what it seemed to me and I’ve heard lots of commentators say the same.

the words catch and kill in their meetings but the discussions they had, were exactly about that, even though the words were not said.
