    I love this part:

    “So Trump and his team *in their own words*:

    -Knew they lost
    -Knew it was not legal for Pence to over turn
    -Knew the states did not have fraud issues
    -Researched "alternative electors" a month in advanced of those claims
    -Knew the documents were unofficial
    -Took part in the transfer process
    -And attempted to pass off forged documents directly to the VP
    -Because of a pre-meditated plan to steal the election.”

    "Donald Trump appeared indifferent as rioters stormed the #Capitol to try to prevent the transfer of power on #Jan6 2021, telling an aide “so what” even after learning security measures were being taken to protect his vice president"

  5. However, a trial will not be possible before his November #election matchup against MVP #Harris …because whatever the judge decides is expected to wind up back before #SCOTUS next year.

    #Legal analysts noted that nearly 5 weeks after the #SupremeCourt issued its landmark decision in Trump v. United States, some of the urgency that once drove the #ElectionInterference case has dissipated.

  6. US prosecutors & lawyers for #Trump will return to federal court on Aug 16 to decide how his #2020election #obstruction case can proceed after #SCOTUS ruled last month that presidents have broad #immunity from prosecution.

    US District Judge Tanya #Chutkan set the hearing in Washington after the #SupremeCourt returned the case to her control on Friday.

  7. #aileencannon #trump #trumptrial #uspol It may be the wine, but the "randomness" that put Aileen Cannon on this dismissed case seems to be in conflict with Occam's Razor

  8. from: nytimes.com/2024/07/15/us/poli

    "Judge #Cannon has made similarly unusual decisions, often showing a willingness to grant a serious audience to some of the former president’s most far-fetched defense claims.

    ...And that has made it all but certain that the case will not reach a jury until well after the election in November — one of #Trump ’s overarching legal and #political objectives."

  9. “[Tfg] and his MAGA media minions were salivating over the prospect of his conviction. … They were convinced that it would result in some sort of alternative universe backlash and that his popularity would skyrocket.”

    Nope.

    A 51% majority] think the jury reached the 'right verdict' than think the verdict was 'wrong' (30%). Likewise, more Americans than ever (54%) now believe Trump committed the crime for which he was on trial.

  10. I think The Honorable Judge Juan Merchan should sentence Trump to prison from November 7 to January 7. That way we don’t have to worry about election interference.#trumpsentencing #trumptrial

PSA: “Clean Up On Aisle 45” — donald trump’s policy on drug addiction (and for that matter alcohol & cigarettes) is … “Just don’t have it.”

    Not only is it plagiarized from Nancy Reagan, it’s an idiotic oversimplification.

  14. You know that obvious hoax that Fox ran about a juror in the Trump case? That'll turn into a new RW attack, "Maybe something IS hinky there. We need to dox all the jurors, just to be sure."

    We need to get ahead of that crap. Time to run stories of people who been arrested & convicted for doxxing & threatening others, because it takes 12-27 months to do these cases.

    We need some deterrence for the New York juror threats & doxxing NOW!!!

  15. @tomiahonen

    YES! Bring it on!

    And maybe in this trial the prosecution will get to present the trove of salacious details Daniels could have testified to but didn’t so as not to embarrass now convicted felon trump. Prosecutor Steinglass repeatedly offered to provide the court with these additional salacious under seal or not …

    I always wondered why Steinglass’ revelation of the existence of many more embarrassing details omitted from Daniels’ testimony to spare trump didn’t merit more discussion.
    Nope, trump does not want this trial to happen again—it’s a nightmare for him!

  16. CW: USPol; legal experts say it's possible Trump could go to jail

    They still say it's unlikely, but Trump's continued bad behavior is making it more and more likely that Judge Merchan will sentence him to jail time in his election interference case.

  17. Judge Cannon is kicking the can down the road as long as she can and beyond the election. “This is clearly palpable bias on her part.”

    “If she is that ignorant of how to handle these matters, then she doesn’t belong on the bench. If she’s doing it because she’s lazy, then she doesn’t belong on the bench. If she’s doing it just to delay, then she doesn’t belong on the bench.”

  18. Donald Trump became the first convicted felon former U.S. president last week.

    @damemagazine’s Andrea Grimes wrote about the media’s shortcomings in covering Trump and the things he does. “His continued success is built on the media’s terror at the prospect of being accused of ‘bias’ if it dares describe his words and actions in plain language,” she writes.

  19. A good point; tfg was convicted of manipulating a presidential election. Seems appropriate that the penalty can include making it harder for him the next time around.

  21. #MichaelCohen testifies about being in London when the #AccessHollywood tape came out shortly before the #election. He says he got an email from #SteveBannon, who was the CEO of the #Trump campaign at the time.
    Prosecution displays an email exchange about the tape that was forwarded to him by Bannon. Top campaign ofcls including the press sec
    #HopeHicks, the campaign manager #KellyanneConway & the deputy campaign manager #DavidBossie were also on the email.

  22. #Ivanka testified during cross examination that the #Doral is something she feels "very proud of," especially now that she's a #Florida resident.

    #DeutscheBank’s Vrablic to Ivanka March 8, 2013, re Doral:

    "I am SO glad we got to see you & have you show us the new rooms. They look amazing! I have had a wonderful time here & it is really impressive to see what you have accomplished so quickly."

    #Trump #legal #law #civil #fraud #TrumpOrganization #NYAG #TrumpTrial

  23. #Ivanka testified that once the financing details had been worked out, all of her attention was devoted to its redevelopment. (not her new baby?) Just the hotel, though. She said the golf course design was all #Trump.

    "My father has an affinity for golf.”

    When #Doral was fully redeveloped, Ivanka said #DeutscheBank was pleased w/ the transformation, & changed some terms of the loan in Trump's favor.

    #legal #law #civil #conspiracy #fraud #TrumpOrganization #NYAG #TrumpTrial

  24. Moved on to Trump's #Doral golf course in #Florida. Trump bought the property in 2012 out of bankruptcy for $150M, backed by a #loan from #DeutscheBank.

    Asked about her role in the Doral sale, #Ivanka said: she received a phone call about the sale that was "very inconvenient timing" bc she was "in the hospital, or I was about to be in the hospital" w/her first child.

    #Trump #legal #law #civil #conspiracy #fraud #TrumpOrganization #NYAG #TrumpTrial

  25. As we learned before #DeutscheBank was #Trump's largest creditor by far, & extended hundreds of million of dollars in credit to him 2011-2021.

    #Ivanka said she only dealt w/ Trump's Deutsche Bank point person, Rosemary Vrablic, on projects like #Doral & the #OPO hotel in DC, & was only tangentially involved w/the #Chicago building.

    Re the OPO. Real estate firm Colony Capital had planned on financing the deal in part, but backed out.

    #law #civil #fraud #TrumpOrganization #NYAG #TrumpTrial

  26. #NYAG Solomon says #Ivanka was deeply involved in the #Doral #loan process:
    "She negotiated the deal from top to bottom, from interest rates to the net worth covenant.”

    Objection overruled.

    NYAG asked Ivanka several questions about Trumps statements of financial condition (SFCs), which the AG said were #falsified to inflate #Trump's #NetWorth.

    #law #civil #fraud #TrumpOrganization #TrumpTrial

  27. #NYAG showed various emails from around that time, #Ivanka said she didn’t recall much about the details of the financing process.

    In response to several questions by NYAG atty Solomon, Ivanka said that she remembered Solomon asking her the question at her #deposition, but doesn't recall the events at issue.

    The #TrumpOrganization purchased #Doral in November 2011 for $150M, financed by a #loan from #DeutscheBank.

    #Trump #legal #law #civil #conspiracy #fraud #TrumpTrial

  28. #Ivanka said she hasn't worked at the #TrumpOrganization since Jan. 2017, but she has still received payments from financial interests in different aspects of the company.

    #NYAG asked Ivanka about efforts by #Trump in 2011 to get financing for the redevelopment of the #Doral course. As we've heard before, the #TrumpOrg was shopping around before landing on #DeutscheBank as a #lender.

  29. Justice #Engoron tells #Kise et al, that he'd consider their complaints about his #LawClerk to be a continuing objection (that’s when a judge has already overruled the original objection, & instead of attys constantly stopping the trial w/objections, it is preserved as if they did. It's really for appealing).

    Engoron: "I don't have any other comments about my staff or how I communicate w/them.”

    #TrumpTrial #law #theatrics

  30. #Kise said he just found out about this issue from the news, & it raises additional questions of misconduct.

    Kise suggested that the "defense will have to give serious consideration to seeking a mistrial” (& there’s the word #Trump wants out there).

    Kise: "It is incumbent upon us as lawyers & I would say, respectfully, the court, to take this very seriously.”

    At this point, Andrew Amer of the NYAG's office essentially tells the Trump team to put up or shut up.
