This is why he rails against irrelevant things like the venue, the district, the judge, the language of standard jury instruction metaphors, him exercising his right to remain silent, choosing which witnesses to call or not call etc.

There's an eager willingness to go along, and they get a lot of help from talk radio too. 

Experts speak non stop about how the verdict contradicts the plain reading of the law and how 
NOONE has ever been convicted of falsifying documents and if they were it was rare and not connected
to election fraud and there is nothing illegal about paying off a porn star and if there was a case there 
then why did the feds drop it [when Barr ordered them to], and everyone in the law business agrees the 
trial was a sham, and (as you say CK), the Judge's daughter  did this and the prosecutor's wife did that 
and New York City is 100% blue and that's why they tried him where the crime was committed instead 
of Texas. My favorite is "the Dems have embraced the police-state." So--the plainest sort of judicial activism! 
though so far I've heard no one but Trump dispute that it was illegal to represent payments to Stormy 
as payments to Cohen for legal service.

Turn to the next station and it's more of the same;, 
by the time you catch catch Fox news in the evening, it's clear "everyone agrees." 


Anyway that's the gist of it, and what we'll be hearing in the coming week as these talking points 
trickle down into our forum.
