Michael Cohen's direct examination by prosecutors having concluded, it's time for cross-examination by Donald Trump's team:
Erica Orden says that question was then stricken from the record. But it appears their goal is to rattle Cohen.

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney
Donald Trump seems to be using members of Congress to violate the gag order in this case. He's been joined in court by various senators and representatives, who then go outside the courtroom to attack the credibility of the witnesses. I think it's reasonable to assume -- but hard to prove -- that he...

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney
Allison Gill was in the courthouse today (in the media room) and twice reported that Donald Trump appeared to be asleep. I see that Republican Ohio Senator J.D. Vance, who was in the court as Trump's guest today, addressed such reports not by denying that Trump was asleep but by saying that the whol...

Re: The (no longer) much too early 2024 election thread
All fair points, but why does this guy apparently think it was more disruptive for Joe Biden to speak in 2024 than for Donald Trump to speak in 2017?
Oh! It's because now he has a job thanks to Biden that he didn't have when Trump visited.

Re: The (no longer) much too early 2024 election thread
And there were some bad swing state polls for President Biden from the New York Times . Donald Trump currently leads Biden by 0.3% nationally. However, Democrats have nearly six months to turn things around and get voters to move past their stupidity. And they are at least making plans : Democrats h...

Re: The (no longer) much too early 2024 election thread
In July 2017, six months into Donald Trump's presidency, he traveled to Racine, in southeast Wisconsin, to announce that the technology company FoxConn would be opening a huge new plant there that would employ some 13,000 people. The state and federal government spent $500 million preparing the site...

A headline at AL.com , the collective website for three Alabama newspapers, the Birmingham News , Huntsville Times , and Mobile Press-Register : "Trump said he wouldn't be 'on the market' long if Melania left him over Stormy Daniels, Cohen testified." How will that land with Donald Trump's...

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney
Self-aggrandizing too. That one of his books briefly made the New York Time best-seller list is a fact he never gets tired of mentioning.
(But despite all that, I noticed during the Mueller investigation that he and Marcy Wheeler via different paths often ended up at the same place.)

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney
I'm pressed for time today and won't be able to read much about the testimony, but I wanted to note that I share this opinion of Michael Cohen that Seth Abramson expressed this morning. Before today's session started, Abramson noted that he has been a guest once on Michael Cohen's podcast, but: &quo...

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney
I think it's worth noting that Donald Trump's assistant Madeleine Westerhout testified this week that Trump continued to manage his business from the White House, despite his promises not to do so. We knew that, but it's good to have it confirmed. He's incapable of putting country, or anything else,...

Re: The (no longer) much too early 2024 election thread
It was reported some weeks ago that convicted felon Paul Manafort was helping Donald Trump's campaign, but today the New York Times reports that he's out. As Marcy Wheeler notes (and she's not alone in this), the article ridiculously soft-peddles the facts of Manafort's criminal history and that of ...

Re: War between Hamas and Israel
From the Times of Israel: "IDF chief said to tell PM that army fighting again in parts of Gaza due to lack of strategy."
Because Netanyahu has no plan for what happens after the fighting.

From just a few days after the war started: This morning I saw an Israeli colonel interviewed on U.S. television say that proportionate to the two nations' populations, yesterday's attack was equivalent to the Pearl Harbor and 9/11 attacks combined. Obviously there are lessons to be learned from bot...
