I must admit that I'm surprised at the speed of the jury verdicts...

[Wounded Bear]

Not that I expected an acquittal or anything, was deeply fearful of a hung jury. I just thought that, given the number of charges and the pile of evidence presented, there would be some days of discussion in the back room. I was thinking next week at the earliest.

I'm really glad that this phase of it is over for now. I suppose trump will appeal this endlessly, Not much we can do about that. More fundraising fodder for his hoodwinked rubes.

When it came down to it. It may be a simpler answer than all the hoopla on the news.

1. Were all the falsified records done at the behest of tfg.
Yes. So there’s all the falsified records and he was a conspirator.

2. Did he do it to further his campaign?
Yes. Could he have had any thoughts about Melania? Yes, but probably about adding money to her prenuptial agreement.
