That is where it started. Then people got too serious.

Also, my statement is barely outside the realm of possible, just barely.

I do worry about Trump subverting the USSS. I hope they are rotating his detail to keep Cheato from recruiting them to his mob.

Bailiff (unfolds paper) : Your honor, it says 'We would like to have the Michael Cohen testimony read back to us. Also, some Purell and paper towels, we really can't put into words why.' Then, in a different hand, it says, 'Did he rilly pay zhat hore one hunnerd tirty tousand?! All we got was some casino chips & some cheapass runnin shoes.'
 
Merchan is okay with not providing Blanche the list of witnesses the prosecution will be calling, even though Blanche told Merchan he won't share the witness list with Orange ManBaby. Merchan just doesn't believe him and that he can control the Orange Ass. So it gets more and more interesting.
 
Merchan ain't playing:

New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan was wrapping up a contentious hour of debate with lawyers on both sides Friday afternoon, when he clarified that a contempt hearing—where he might punish Trump for repeatedly ignoring a gag order and continuing to publicly speak threateningly about witnesses and jurors—would commence Tuesday morning.

But just as the judge neared the end of his sentence, Trump abruptly stood up—apparently thinking the day was over. Immediately, Merchan turned his face to the former president and said in a firm voice: “Sir, can you please have a seat.”

His long, black robes dangled from beneath his right hand as he waved it down, like a man addressing his dog. It wasn’t a question. And while the judge maintains a stoic demeanor at all times, the tone was decidedly sharper than even the one he’d taken when expressing disappointment in Trump’s lawyers minutes earlier.


Without hesitation, Trump went and plopped straight back down into his maroon leather chair at the defense table—and remained for another minute, fuming as the judge gathered his paperwork and strolled toward his chambers.

Proof that Trumpo is always at his best wearing a short rope attached to an adult.

In Trump's Amerika the line between satire and reality is very thin; by the time a claim is scrutinized for plausibility it is too late for a chuckle.

Anyway, is the claim outside the realm of possible? Some of Trump's legal eagles contend that a President can commit any crime or murder with impunity; others of his eagles contend that he is still President due to frauds in Georgia and elsewhere. Together these claims mean Trump can still deputize anyone and authorize them to use any force they see fit.

BTW, since Trump has been President 2017-2024 why have no lawsuits been filed to remove Trump from ballots pursuant to the 22nd Amendment? Wouldn't that be great fun? (What's the penalty for Frivolous Filing? Surely there are several lawyers by now who know they're already on the verge of disbarment anyway.)
 
How many peremptory challenges was the Defendant allowed? Apparently they were all used up.

New Yorkers who said they couldn’t approach the case fairly were excused during jury selection. But one of the women with the harshest assessments of him will be among those who will determine his fate on 34 counts of falsifying business records.

“I don’t like his persona, how he presents himself in public,” said the woman, who has lived in upper Manhattan for the last 15 years. The woman said she didn’t agree with some of Trump’s politics, which she called “outrageous.”

“He just seems very selfish and self-serving, so I don’t really appreciate that in any public servant,” she said, adding that while she doesn’t “know him as a person,” how he “portrays himself in public, it just seems to me it is not my cup of tea.”

Trump’s legal team took issue with her responses, but they were out of challenges by the time she was up for consideration.

I'm betting on Hung Jury. Even if no closet MAGAts were seated, and even if no jurors are fearful enough of MAGAt murderers to vote for acquittal, aren't the charges confusing? Paying the hush money was legal; isn't the underlying felony just the failure to report the bribe as campaign spending?
 
Maybe. But those same charges were clear to the jury that put Michael Cohen in stir. I'm hopeful. The country really needs this guy to be officially labeled a criminal.
