"Prosecutors for the State of New York in their opening statement drew a direct line between the October 2016 “Access Hollywood” leaked audio and Donald Trump’s alleged “hush money” payoff to two women, including the adult film actress Stormy Daniels, telling the jury it was “election fraud, pure and simple.”

Legal experts are dissecting the prosecution’s opening argument. Professor of law, MSNBC contributor and former FBI General Counsel Andrew Weissmann summed it up, saying New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg “squarely places the NY criminal trial in the election interference/corruption bucket– exactly what the DC and GA indictments allege, just 4 years later.”

“And the NY alleged ‘cover up’ is reminiscent of the two MAL [Mar-a-Lago] alleged obstruction schemes post-presidency, to keep prosecutors from uncovering evidence of that scheme,” Weissmann added.

Prosecutor Matthew Colangelo late Monday morning in his 45-minute opening argument told jurors, “This case is about criminal conspiracy and a cover up,” according to MSNBC’s Joyce Vance."

Myself: Nothing in this is "weaponizing" the judicial system in spite of the numerous false claims of such seen in this forum and in the conservative media. It is simply a straightforward approach to a criminal complaint, nothing more, nothing less. America is founded on the principal of "No Man is Above the Law." When a man, such as trump, sets himself above the law, which is how he has run his businesses most of his life, he is deliberately behaving in an un-American way.

Same old biased leftwing spin.

Yep. Truth and facts are defined as the primary purview of the left wing, the opposite of the right wing. It requires a serious effort at self deception to think otherwise in the face of all the factual evidence and "guilty" adjudications.

You just described yourself

Tell you what. You go right ahead and prove I routinely lie. I dare you to try. You can make unsubstantiated claims all day long, but they are only unproven claims with zero evidence. The world knows where the false information comes from, and a lot is proven to come from Russia in support of Putin's faorite, trump. Even promulgated false information intended to help the GOP impeach Biden.

A liar will never admit he lies. An man without integrity will not admit he is wrong. You fit both categories.

You routinely opine. The DailynKos is hardly a source for ‘truth and facts’ though they occasionally get some right just as other rags do

Too true

Sounds like a reflection on yourself that you've yet to have.

One day.... maybe you will.

On the other hand, you can also claim insanity as a cause for not having integrity. Insanity cause by consuming russian & chinese talking points. I'll include fox news here too, because they parrot the propaganda.

WE routinely opine.

All of us.

He was accused of LYING. Far different.

You call me insane while you believe MSNBC is truth.

This is a blatant lie - “Truth and facts are defined as the primary purview of the left wing”

Yes we all opine. I didn’t say he lied in the OP but he is one who routinely says he offers truth and facts. Its entertaining

Maybe try pointing out the lie, or lies. And then correcting it with (what you perceive as) the truth.
