The #Republicans that showed up to the #TrumpTrial today in Manhattan were *lawmakers* who are all about disrupting legislative business & have no issue w/embarrassing their own party on the #House floor. It included many #HouseFreedomCaucus members who have frozen the chamber for days on end, most recently voting down their party’s own rules as an act of *protest*.
Idiots.

#Colangelo describes “#CatchAndKill scheme, in which #NationalEnquirer bought stories that were problems for #Trump & buried them.
NOT NORMAL #journalismColangelo describes some NE headlines that helped Trump's 2016 #campaign, embarrassing campaign opponents incl’g #TedCruz & #MarcoRubio.
Prosecutors are limited to the HEADLINES per #Sandoval. They go to Trump’s #intent: to #influence the election by promoting negative stories about others & suppressing those about himself. -
“The court cautions defendant that this #Sandoval ruling is a shield, not a sword,” Merchan said. Defense arguments at court could prompt him to reconsider where he draws the line on these issues, he added.
The #jury is now in the courtroom. Justice Juan #Merchan is reading them their instructions.

#Merchan read his #Sandoval decision re:
the #civil #fraud finding that he misstated his assets; his 2 violations of a #GagOrder stemming from that case; 2 separate court findings of #defamation of #EJeanCarroll; & the dissolution of the #Trump foundation as part of a settlement w/the NYAG. The judge said he would not allow prosecutors to discuss in detail the underlying facts of those matters — but added a warning that could change.

A man who lit himself on fire Friday across the street from the Manhattan courthouse where former president Donald Trump is facing a criminal hush money trial is in critical condition, New York City police said. #Manhattan #DonaldTrump #HushMoneyTrial
The man walked into Collect Pond Park at 1:30 p.m., removed several pamphlets from his backpack and tossed them on the ground, Chief Jeffrey Maddrey told reporters. #CollectPondPark
He then pulled out a canister of liquid accelerant, doused himself with it and lit himself on fire, the chief said. #LiquidAccelerant
The man took a few steps before falling onto a police barrier and then to the ground. #PoliceBarrier
Civilians and officers ran into the park, and used coats and fire extinguishers to try to put out the blaze before firefighters arrived and fully extinguished it. #Firefighters
Paramedics transported the man — identified by police as Maxwell Azzarello of St. Augustine, Fla. — to a hospital, where he was intubated, according to New York City fire officials. #MaxwellAzzarello #StAugustine
Four police officers were treated for minor injuries. #PoliceOfficers
The pamphlets Azzarello, 37, threw on the ground promoted various conspiracy theories, including ones about Ponzi schemes and local educational institutions being fronts for the mob, Joe Kenny, the police department’s chief of detectives, told reporters. #ConspiracyTheories #PonziSchemes #EducationalInstitutions

Cannon keeps finding ways to delay trump’s trial for the documents he stole; it’s almost like she doesn’t want the trial to occur, which would suit defendant trump just fine cuz the prosecution has him cold & the closer it gets to trial the more likely one of his co-def. might turn into a government witness.
She takes a long time to rule, throwing up road blocks in the process . Whichever way she rules on the Special Counsel reconsideration request, there will be an appeal.
She’s been delaying & sandbagging the case since the documents were confiscated in the search.
