So will we get a verdict this week? 
This is a documents case and a Trump is a fat piece of shyt. The jury did not even have to retire. They could have given a verdict right there in the court room after the judge finished giving the instructionsSo will we get a verdict this week?

While Trump’s blaming Judge Merchan for not permitting his team to make the argument, the truth is that his legal team made the decision not to attempt it. In pre-trial filings dug up by Courthouse News reporter Erik Uebelacker, the defense specifically said they “did not intend to assert a formal advice-of-counsel defense.”
Had they attempted it, Trump would have had to waive attorney-client privilege — thereby allowing all sorts of other (presumably unsavory) evidence to be admitted.

Trump Blames Judge For Defense Argument His Lawyers Didn’t Want To Make
Trump this morning complained several times that his legal team wasn’t allowed to make an “advice-of-counsel” defense. The argument holds that Trump was merely following the advice of his legal team at the time, and he can’t be held liable for following their bad counsel.While Trump’s blaming Judge Merchan for not permitting his team to make the argument, the truth is that his legal team made the decision not to attempt it.

Trump trial live updates: Trump says 'Mother Teresa could not beat these charges' as jury deliberates
Trump says he doesn't 'even know what the charges are'
As the jury continues its deliberations, Donald Trump posted on his social media platform in all caps that "I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE CHARGES ARE IN THIS RIGGED CASE."
"I AM ENTITLED TO SPECIFICITY JUST LIKE ANYONE ELSE," he wrote.
The post comes after Trump watched Judge Merchan spend over an hour instructing the jury on the law and specific charges in the case, including each of the 34 counts that the former president faces for falsifying business records in order to hide a hush money payment to boost his prospects in the 2016 election.

The jurors had four requests. They wanted to hear several parts of David Pecker’s testimony again — the part where he spoke to Trump during an investor meeting, the part where he talked about Karen McDougal’s life rights and the part where he talked about the 2015 Trump Tower meeting where he agreed to use his magazines to give Trump’s campaign a boost. They also wanted to hear the part of Michael Cohen’s testimony where he spoke about that 2015 meeting.
As the prosecution’s first witness, it’s been well over a month since jurors heard from Pecker.
Merchan left the room to allow the attorneys time to figure out which portions of the transcripts should be read.
The investor meeting the jurors referenced seemingly refers to a mid-2016 presentation Pecker said he was giving in New Jersey when he received a call from Trump. He said he took the call, and the pair discussed McDougal’s interest in selling her story her alleged yearlong affair with Trump. Pecker said he recommended that Trump buy the story to lock it down, but he did not want to.
Pecker recalled Trump telling him, “I don’t buy stories. Anytime you do anything like this, it always gets out.” They agreed to reconnect later, Pecker said.
Pecker’s American Media Inc. ended up paying for McDougal’s story, forking over $150,000. Pecker testified that he almost went through with a deal to transfer the life rights to Cohen and Trump, but it fell through.

In a note, they said they would like to rehear the judge’s instructions. Recall that the full instructions took over an hour to read; Merchan said he would ask whether they needed the entire thing recited.
We also have an update on the testimony they want read back — it is around 30 pages long.

Trump has to been shytting big orange turds about right now, because David Pecker and Hope Hicks had the most damaging testimony against him. Pecker actually out the whole scheme and Trump's lawyer did not dispute anything that Pecker said.
