Nobody, and that may include Merchan, knows what the charge will be. Everyone is assuming the misdemeanors, long past the statute of limitations, will be tied to intent to violate Federal Election law. The FEC declined to pursue, Vance declined to pursue and Bragg initially declined to pursue.
The defense wants to bring in a former FEC commissioner and Merchan says that might confuse the jury with sticky things like federal election law and statutes.
The goal is conviction. The jury can not be confused about what the goal is and so the FEC commissioner testimony will be limited.
Robert Costello destroys Cohen's testimony. Merchan ? He says it would be nothing more than hearsay after allowing Daniels to say whatever she wanted to say because that testimony served a purpose. And the convicted perjurer can say whatever he wants because that testimony serves a purpose also.
Unless 1 or both of the 2 lawyers on the jury has/have been paying attention you will probably get the conviction everybody wants fairly soon. It will get reversed on appeal but the Dems will have their talking points until the election. And Biden can then also say that he won't debate a felon.
Clinton was found to have violated federal election campaign law. Fines, tho no court cases or felony charges, were imposed.
