- **Published:** 2024-06-09

Trump secured legal victories in Georgia and Florida as courts delayed trials until after the election. The hosts argue that the New York conviction was the only case the establishment truly cared about, as it provided the "convicted felon" label for campaign ads. They note that the strategy appears to be backfiring on TikTok, where "Do the Biden" memes and support for Trump among younger and minority voters are trending.

Whoopi Goldberg suggests the entire legal ordeal could have been avoided if Trump had simply paid the money differently. The hosts observe the celebratory atmosphere on the set, suggesting some participants appeared intoxicated while discussing the verdict.

### Jonathan Turley and Alan Dershowitz on Trial Outcomes

- **Episode:** [1544: Trusted Flaggers](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1544-trusted-flaggers.md)
- **Published:** 2023-04-06

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1544-trusted-flaggers/chapter/jonathan-turley-and-alan-dershowitz-on-trial-outcomes.md

Legal experts Jonathan Turley and Alan Dershowitz provide contrasting views on the Trump trial's likely trajectory. Turley describes the indictment as a "legal slurpee"—satisfying to some but lacking nutritional value—and predicts it may collapse before trial. Dershowitz, however, believes a New York jury will likely convict Trump due to local political bias, though he expects the conviction to be overturned on appeal or by the Supreme Court.

### Senate Conviction Strategy and Mitch McConnell's Leverage

- **Episode:** [1312: iPhony](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1312-iphony.md)
- **Published:** 2021-01-15
- **Time:** 40:48–45:48
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1312-iphony/chapter/senate-conviction-strategy-and-mitch-mcconnell-s-leverage.md

Following the House impeachment, the focus shifts to the Senate trial where a two-thirds majority is required for conviction. While ten House Republicans led by Liz Cheney supported impeachment, the Senate requires 17 Republicans to join Democrats. Speculation suggests Mitch McConnell may be using the trial as leverage for the 2022 elections rather than a genuine attempt to convict Trump after he leaves office.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1287-school-ology/chapter/bangladesh-rape-protests-and-death-penalty-legislation.md

Massive protests in Bangladesh following a viral video of a sexual assault have led Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to approve the death penalty for rape. Critics argue that the measure may actually decrease the already low conviction rate, which currently stands at less than 1%. The segment notes the lack of international "Me Too" movement coverage for these events in South Asia.

Senator Ted Cruz promotes his new podcast, "Verdict with Ted Cruz," during an interview about the impeachment trial. During the segment, Cruz accidentally states that he believes the president will be "convicted" by the end of the weekend before correcting the narrative. The hosts mock the error and Cruz's self-promotion.

Roger Stone was found guilty on seven counts, including lying to Congress and witness tampering, related to the Mueller investigation. Following the verdict, former DNC chair Donna Brazile expressed strong hostility toward Stone, accusing him of destroying democracy through his alleged ties to WikiLeaks. Critics point out the irony in Brazile's statements given her own history with leaked debate questions in 2016.

The final blow to Julia Pierson's tenure as Secret Service Director involves a previously undisclosed incident where an armed private security contractor with a criminal record was allowed into an elevator with President Obama. Congressman Jason Chaffetz reveals that Pierson failed to brief the President on this breach, leading to accusations that she either neglected her duty or lied to Congress. Pierson resigned shortly after the hearing as the White House withdrew its support.

In Newfoundland, Canada, legal experts are warning that budget cuts to the justice department could lead to an increase in wrongful convictions. This contrasts with the American narrative where budget cuts are often framed as leading to the release of dangerous criminals. The Canadian approach focuses on the erosion of the defense and prosecutorial infrastructure.

Jerry Sandusky was convicted on 45 of 48 counts related to child sexual abuse.

Martha Stewart was denied a visa to enter England due to her prior criminal conviction for insider trading in the United States. UK law generally prohibits granting visas to convicted criminals, leading to a discussion about the strictness of border controls for high-profile figures.
