Here we go again…Allan Behm (writing for the Australian Institute) serves up another word salad and take pockshots at… Australia’s adherence to the NPT via… well, everything submarine and US alliance with a limp lettuce. Or is it a swipe at Senator #Conroy ‘s interview performance on 7:30? You tell me, I couldn’t decide which.
I might also note that the Virginia boats to be sold to Australia are capable of launching US Cruise missiles (Tomahawk and its latest nuclear capable incarnation) via torpoedo tubes (simple google search will reveal that much). Hence, so are current USN Virginia boats not just the new ones to be built — that makes the USN SSGN rotations in HMAS Stearling in 2032 the author references here irrelevent — we’d be hosting potentially nuclear armed SSN (from the US and potentially the UK) well before then… might already have.
My opinion of the author’s writing craft is decidedly going on a slide into the bin. Read him if you must, just keep your wits about you and read him very carefully and have a think about it.
Just in case my writing here attracts critical comments, in my defence, this is a toot, not an analysis, nor anything I’d consider ready for publication.

Redirect is over & #Trump atty #Bove returns to question Daus again to clarify his cross-examination arguments, saying he was asking about “unknowns” — “gaps in the handling of this data that created risks” for tampering.
Prosecutor #Conroy returns to ask Daus another question in a 2nd re-redirect.
This is a lot of questioning & requestioning for a custodial witness.
Justice #Merchan calls a sidebar hopefully to get these folks to tighten up their questioning.

Cross-examination ended
Redirect by prosecutor #Conroy.
On re-direct, Conroy is asks questions that mock #Bove’s cross, implying to the jury that Bove's line of questioning was BS.
Some questions:
“I take it you’re not a friend of Michael Cohen’s?”
“Is it unusual for a phone to be used?”
[Making fun of Bove’s basic #tech questions]Public in the overflow room reportedly got what Conroy was doing & laughed at the questions & answers

Chris #Conroy, the prosecutor, says they need to go through the articles but that it's "odd" that the defense is asking for an advance ruling.
When Conroy says that he thinks the #GagOrder is "very specific," #Trump vigorously shakes his head.
#Merchan says he is not going to pre-judge Trump's postings. "I'm not going to give advance rulings," he says.
"There is no ambiguity, I believe, in the order." He says that if Trump is in doubt, he should "steer clear."

After the break, the People call #GaryFarro to the stand as the 3rd #witness.
#Farro was a banker at #FirstRepublic when #MichaelCohen was seeking to arrange the $130k #HushMoney payment to #StormyDaniels. Cohen, seeking the money, was contacted by Farro's asst.
Rebecca #Mangold will question Farro for prosecution. She’s been on the team several yrs, & typically sits w/Chris #Conroy, another prosecutor, behind the main table.

As #Conroy, laid out the #GagOrder violations, #Trump whispered to his lawyer Todd Blanche & frowned.
After they spoke, #Blanche rubbed his face several times.

"He's doing what the order tells him not to do," Christopher #Conroy, a prosecutor, about #Trump's alleged additional violations of the #GagOrder.
They described Trump's comments at an event this morning as another violation.
Trump was asked by reporters about David #Pecker's testimony, & Trump called Pecker
"a nice guy." Prosecutors say it was a message to Pecker & others: be "nice," or get attacked. (yeah I don’t know about that one) -

DA prosecutor Christopher #Conroy, responded briefly.
#Merchan will not give a decision right away.
The hearing about violations of a #GagOrder, ended up being sort of a challenge to the entire Trump belief system.
Merchan clarified that everything that Trump does is not “#politics” per se & insisted on hearing #GoodFaith arguments, & the #truth.
Then there was a break.

#Conroy says prosecutors will not seek #jail for now, even though #Trump seems to be “angling" for that
[#martyr complex, #megalomaniac]New York state's #criminal #contempt #law permits a $1k fine & jail time of up to 30 days for each violation of the #GagOrder.
And Conroy is asking the judge to warn Trump that he could face custody.
[he’s been warned! Repeatedly!]

#Conroy is talking about #Trump seeking to use #politics as a defense, saying it "makes no sense," eviscerating the clear language & meaning of the #GagOrder. "There's no indication that his claim that he's responding to attacks is anything more than an after-the-fact justification," Conroy says.
"He knows about the order, he knows what he's not allowed to do, & he does it anyway," Conroy says, adding: "It's #willful."

#Conroy says that #Trump “violates the order when he posts about known #witnesses or reasonably forseeable witnesses,” & “violates the order when he posts about a #juror or prospective juror.”
+ Throwing a "#MAGA" into a post doesn't make it #political, Conroy says, dismissing the idea that Trump's comments fall under the category of protected political speech. It may, in fact, make it more ominous, Conroy adds.

#Conroy says #Trump violated the #GagOrder when on Truth Social, he quoted #FauxNews commentator #JesseWatters characterization of prospective jurors as “undercover liberal activists." Prosecutors flagged this as the most serious of the violations & Conroy now says it’s “very troubling."
Conroy points to the timing, last Wed evening. The next morning, Juror2 asked to be excused, upsetting Justice #Merchan. He complimented the #juror after excusing her, saying she would have done a good job.

#Conroy is now describing 5 more examples, all versions of essentially the same post, in which Trump shared a NewYorkPost article about #MichaelCohen & quoted its headline: "A serial perjurer will try to prove an old misdemeanor against #Trump in an embarrassment for the NewYork legal system."

#Conroy notes that a 2nd order was needed after #Trump "ratcheted up attacks on family members."
Conroy goes through Trump's alleged #GagOrder violations, including one in which he thanked #StormyDaniels's disgraced lawyer, Michael #Avenatti, for criticizing #MichaelCohen. Conroy also describes how Trump called #Cohen & Daniels "sleazebags."

Prosecutor, Chris Conroy, details DA’s #GagOrder argument.
He says 10 #Trump posts violated the order.
8 were on TruthSocial.
2 were on his ofcl campaign website.#Conroy argues these violations pose a very real#threat to proceedings, & have an "undertow" effect on #witnesses, making them afraid. He says witnesses, "rightly fear being subject to similar vitriol."
Conroy says Trump's attacks on #MichaelCohen in courtroom hallway yesterday again violated the order.
So 11 violations

@ashton Pat Conroy once recited to me all the good that comes out of Mississippi, beginning with Eudora... Barry Hannah said it is the juxtapositions that makes Southerners such good storytellers. #Mississippi #Hannah #Conroy #Writing

😢 RIP Batman
"DC public relations wrote, “It is with profound sadness that I send this to you today. Kevin Conroy, the quintessential voice of Batman, a dear friend to so many of us, has passed away.”"
