1) he signed some of the cheques! Not a crime. Now show us the cheques and the proof he knew what each one was for? The evidcne is he signed cheques all day everyday. 2) who was he acting on if not Trump's behalf? Stormy's representatives knew MC was acting on Trump's behalf . Everyone knows and accepts all high-profile folks manage risk to name, brand and reputation by killing stories - and settling at times even with no truth to the claim. Thats a fact. Even if this was the case, still no crime. And again aside from the word of SD which she has no first-hand knowledge of...all you have is a guy who is on the record under oath telling us and Congress, DT was not in the loop. 3) corroborated by other witnesses that Trump signed off on everything See #1 4) corroborated by other witnesses that Trump wanted to story to go away to stop harming his election chances after Access Hollywood tapes release. Not a a crime. Show me a skerrick of proof so far that anything he did was an illegal act. MC is on the record in this trial that some of the money he paid and was reimbursed was, in part - his fees. Does that qualify it to be recorded as a legal fee? Of course.
At the end of the day, your case is 1+1+1+1= A banana. and all it takes one juror to be honest.
So ya got maybe a day left to adduce the compelling beyond reasonable doubt of the felony - not the demeanour - that was committed.
