Is the Hush Money Trial a Desperate Attempt To Get Trump?
INTERVIEW ON THE PRICE OF BUSINESS SHOW, MEDIA PARTNER OF THIS SITE.
Recently Kevin Price, Host of the nationally syndicated Price of Business Show, interviewed filmmaker Warren D. Robinson (image below).
Former president Donald J. Trump is currently on trial in New York City in a case brought by Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg called by the media ‘The Hush Money Trial’. Despite the felony charge and potential of jail time many legal scholars have criticized the charges as weak and political. Entertainment executive, producer and attorney Warren D. Robinson agrees he says, “This is a desperate attempt by Bragg to get Trump on something. In reality he was unable to make the case he wanted to make (financial and tax crimes) so he just threw something against the wall and is hoping he can get it to stick.” Knowing the makeup of the potential jury pool Robinson is convinced Trump faces an uphill battle, despite the weakness of the case. “That jury is not going to be kind to Trump nor is this Judge (who donated money albeit small amounts to Biden in the past) so he’s going to have a hard time getting an acquittal. The best he can hope for is a hung jury but that may be a stretch as well.” No matter what the jury decides Robinson believes that will not be the end of the story. “This is definitely going to be appealed and on the merits I believe Donald Trump has a much better chance with the appeals court; However that will likely be long after the election so in the interim Alvin Bragg’s attempts to hurt Trump politically will likely work and that’s not fair.”
According to a statement, “Entertainment executive and producer, Warren D. Robinson believes that when organizations are willing to have open and honest conversations about race and their own bias they can commit to meaningful change. We have seen this recently in the form of Hollywood award shows, particularly, the Grammys and the Academy Awards (Oscars). The Recording Academy and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have both taken concrete steps to diversify their ranks and address inherit biases in their voting processes. As a result we have the most diverse crop of award winners/nominees, respectively, we’ve ever seen. Contrast that with the scandal and production shutdown currently at CBS’s The Talk, which resulted because a co-host was unable to properly engage in a conversation about race, address her own bias and commit to doing better. ‘The key part to every conversation’ Warren says, ‘starts with listening. Listening and hearing are different and if you are unable to listen then you are unable to have a conversation.’
“Warren D. Robinson, is an avid and accomplished entertainment executive, motivational speaker, host, life coach and award winning producer who created the wildly popular series, Buried by the Bernards, which is currently streaming on Netflix.
