@GottaLaff #TrumpTrial #Jan6
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"

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.

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.

#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
-
from: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/15/us/politics/judge-aileen-cannon-trump-documents-case.html
"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."

“[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.

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

Heads up to so-called Independents & Biden boycotters …

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!!!

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! -
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.

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.”

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.

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.

#AileenCannon abruptly changed the proceeding’s schedule on Wed, reshuffling hearings in #Trump #ClassifiedDocuments case.
The new schedule reflects the array of #legal issues that #JudgeCannon has yet to resolve amid efforts by Trump’s legal team to #delay the #TrumpTrial.

#Steinglass continues the argument on #WitnessIntimidation, noting that #Trump attacked #StormyDaniels on social media the same day she had an interview w/the Manhattan DA’s office. Steinglass argues that the post contains a lie — in it, Trump said that he hadn’t seen or spoken to Daniels since meeting her on a golf course in 2006.
Steinglass says that the jury knows it to be a lie because #RhonaGraff, Trump’s loyal asst, testified that Daniels had met w/Trump at Trump Tower.
-
#Steinglass says that defense is arguing that #AllenWeisselberg & #MichaelCohen assumed authority over large amounts of #Trump’s money. “That’s crazy,” Steinglass says. “Neither one had anywhere near that kind of authority.”
Steinglass attacks defense’s “false narrative” about #Trump not attending to his finances after he became president. He notes an assistant in the #WhiteHouse, #MadeleineWesterhout, testified Trump paid extremely close attention to his personal finances.
-
#Steinglass list the many witnesses who testified who are still loyal to #Trump: #HopeHicks, #MadeleineWesterhout, #JeffreyMcConney, #RhonaGraff & David #Pecker. Steinglass says that Pecker has “absolutely no reason to lie here,” & adds, “and yet, his testimony is utterly devastating.”

#MichaelCohen is now describing talking to #Trump every single day, multiple times a day, before the #2016election. It was either in person or by cell phone, Cohen testifies.
He says that if he needed to reach Trump, depending on who Trump was with, he could have reached out to #RhonaGraff, his exec asst; #KeithSchiller, Trump’s #bodyguard; #HopeHicks, his press sec, or the Trump *kids*.

Steinglass also criticized Blanche's colleague Susan #Necheles's cross-examination of #StormyDaniels, calling it "very thorough but somewhat misleading" [& hardcore #SlutShaming ]
Prosecutor #Steinglass says that the details of Daniels's story before & during the sexual act corroborate her account, & show the fact that sex happened, which increases the motivation to silence her.

A different email is presented from #Westerhout to #RhonaGraff, saying that #Trump - who often calls the media “the enemy of the people" - proudly sent a NYT photo of himself boarding Air Force One for the first time to his family & wanted Weisselberg to see it.
In addition to corroborating a lot of other testimony, Westerhout links that testimony to what she saw Trump do while he was in the WH. Stapled packets of checks & invoices were sent to the WH to sign.
-
Since #Westerhout resigned from the WH, she has talked about how warmly she feels towards #Trump, especially in her book. Trump has praised Westerhout & her book - signaling no bad blood.
Westerhout testifies about frequent interactions w/the #TrumpOrganization. She says she would pass their questions to Trump — who said he’d cut off his relationship w/his business.
Info traveled thru Westerhout & on the other side #RhonaGraff, his asst at the company, who already testified.
-
The people called #MadeleineWesterhout. #Westerhout was Trump's executive assistant in the #WhiteHouse. She was fired after she spoke out of turn about the Trump family at an off-the-record dinner.
Westerhout went on to write a book in which she extensively praised #Trump. Prior to his presidency, she worked for the RNC. Trump is watching her, pursing his lips at times. He smirks when she says she is nervous to be here today.

Cross-examination of #Manochio was extremely brief.
Next witness, Tracey #Menzies, works at HarperCollins, a publishing company.
As happened on Tues, prosecution shows a book authored by #Trump, "Think Big: Make it Happen in Business and Life." The cover image shows Trump shouting. The witness, Tracey Menzies, says of the cover, "His name is quite large."
#NodFarter is snoozing through this testimony.

#StormyDaniels’s is beginning to sound upset as #Necheles attacks her account of the story, saying she described it differently in her book & at trial.
Necheles continues to call it the "supposed" meeting at a hotel, but there was evidence that Daniels had not just #Trump's bodyguard, Keith Schiller, listed in her phone, but his gatekeeper, #RhonaGraff.

In #Trump’s social media post, he says he hasn’t seen her since the golf tournament she described earlier & denies having had sex w/her.
#Jurors heard last week from Trump’s former executive assistant, #RhonaGraff, that #StormyDaniels visited Trump Tower in 2007, the year after the golf course event.

#HopeHicks is asked about #KeithSchiller, who was #Trump’s longtime bodyguard. Schiller is a fmr NYPD detective.
Hicks is asked about others who were in Trump's close circle, such as the #TrumpOrganization's fmr CFO, #AllenWeisselberg, & Trump’s assistant, #RhonaGraff.
Trump’s eyes are glued onto Hicks as she begins her testimony. This is the most alert he’s been since the trial started.

#GaryFarro says that he's testifying, in part, as a custodian of records for First Republic Bank.
Custodial witnesses verify records through #legal procedures that are super boring, & late on a Friday, this will be rough.
Still records are fact evidence.
#RhonaGraff, was also technically a custodial witness,
She authenticated records linking the #Trump Org's records to #StormyDaniels & #KarenMcDougal.

#Necheles asks #RhonaGraff if she wants to be here or not. Graff says she does not, & indicates that the only reason she's testifying is because she was subpoenaed & the #TrumpOrganization is paying her legal fees.
Graff is done testifying. #Trump stands as Graff is leaving, approaches & touches her hand. Justice #Merchan, stands too, waiting for the lawyers to come to the bench. Given all the focus on witnesses & Trump interacting w/them, that was weird. The court takes a recess.
-
#RhonaGraff testifies rather sycophantically about the success of “The Apprentice,” calling it THE most popular TV show & saying #Trump acquired “rock-star status.”
Under direct, Graff verified Trump had contact entries for both #KarenMcDougal & #StormyDaniels. Graff also confirmed she saw Daniels at Trump Tower.
Now, #Necheles, Trump's lawyer, suggests that visit by Daniels could have been about appearing on "The Apprentice."

Before #Hoffinger wrapped direct, we again heard the name of #HopeHicks, Trump’s spox during the 2016 #TrumpCampaign & in the #WhiteHouse. There was not an apparent reason to reintroduce her, it may be that prosecutors laying foundation for future evidence/testimony in proceedings.
#CrossExamination by #Trump lawyer Susan #Necheles begins:
#RhonaGraff testifies that "99% of the time," discussions w/Trump were related to business.
-
So #RhonaGraff’s testimony not that big of a deal at all. Other than placing #StormyDaniels in #Trump’s orbit.
#BabySquirrel break
-
#RhonaGraff testifies that she saw #StormyDaniels at #Trump Tower, in the waiting area of the 26th floor, where Trump’s office is located.
Susan #Hoffinger, the prosecutor, wraps up. Susan #Necheles is now cross-examining #Graff for the defense.
Trump cracks a small smile as Graff speaks glowingly of her time working for Trump. She says she never had the same day twice & called Trump “fair” as a boss.

Susan #Hoffinger, the prosecutor, is asking #RhonaGraff to verify that she compiled records of various items like emails & contact lists & calendar entries.
Prosecution presents a redacted entry from the #TrumpOrganization's computer system that contains contact information for #KarenMcDougal & “Stormy”
Asked whether she understood #StormyDaniels was an adult film actress, Graff replies: "Yes, I did."
