Donald Trump’s hush money case with Stormy Daniels has begun, making him the first president to stand criminal trial. Today’s show breaks it down.

“They can prosecute you for anything. They can audit a ham sandwich,” Crowder said. "Hush money payments for an alleged incident that didn't happen, according to Stormy Daniels. She said it didn't happen, and then she decided it did happen, and then the money that was paid to stop saying that happened. It is about the money that was paid at this point, which anyone can do at any point with anybody if you enter into a legal agreement."

According to Fox News:

The jury selection for former President Donald Trump’s trial centered on hush money payments to Stormy Daniels officially got underway in New York City on Monday, with lawyers for Trump and the state meeting with prospective jurors to decide who will sit to hear the case.

Judge Juan Merchan is overseeing the case in which Trump has been charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree during his successful 2016 presidential campaign. The dozen ultimately selected will become the first Americans ever to sit in judgment of a former president charged with a crime.

The jury selection procedure is simple. Each potential juror is seated in the jury box and will be asked to answer 42 questions from a questionnaire that reviews the individual’s work history, political affiliations and what media they choose to watch and listen to.

The prospective jurors must be Manhattan residents. They are then asked each question, and are instructed to answer "one after the other, in a loud clear voice," according to the court's instructions. They may potentially be asked additional follow-up questions, as needed, depending on their answer.

Over half of the jurors were dismissed immediately.

The judge's daughter, Loren Merchan, served as president of Authentic Campaigns, a firm that works with the DNC.

"These people are receiving millions of dollars in funding directly from democratic organizations and donors and they are beholden to the Democratic party. It is not about your personal bias, it is about who you owe,” Crowder said. "I don't think it’s conspiratorial at all to say 'this guy is out to get Donald Trump.' Why? Because he got a million dollars from Soros who is out to get Donald Trump.”

If convicted, Trump could face up to 20 years.

"Many Americans don't put any stock in the justice system anymore," Crowder said. “It is about a system that can selectively apply the law. You don’t live in a free country if the law is applied selectively.”
