    >During a cross examination of Douglas Daus, a forensic data expert for
    the Manhattan DA, Bove appeared to be trying to suggest that the 2016
    Trump-Cohen recording may have been altered, zeroing in on the fact that
    the phone containing the recording had first been obtained by the FBI.

    could impact the data that you looked at in 2023, isn’t there?” Bove
    asked. “And you didn’t talk to the FBI about the methods they used, did
    you?”

    That’s a defense lawyer trying their best to sow doubt into a juror’s mind. “The FBI COULD have planted evidence!!!”

    If the FBI did plant evidence, Trump’s lawyers would have their own forensics expert on the stand to show EXACTLY HOW. And it would be EASY TO PROVE. It would also be a MAJOR blow to the prosecution.

    But they know it’s real, so they won’t hire their own expert.

  2. Mark my words, we’re not getting through this without somehow seeing Trump naked on video, I’m surprised we haven’t yet

    The FBI once answered to the guy as president. Now he claims they planted evidence? I’m surprised he didn’t get his FBI heads to alter the evidence before the trial.

    Just like Trump in a daily basis, they just say shit with nothing to back it up and see what sticks. It’s disgusting.
