Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney
No. In fact, legally Bragg and Colangelo can't discuss specifics about the case while it is still active (which it is). This is all a show.

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney
I thought about putting this in the 2024 election thread, but ultimately decided it should go here. Benjamin Wittes is editor in chief of Lawfare and a Senior Fellow in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution.

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney
Trump made a deal with the publisher of the National Enquirer to squash any negative stories about him before the election. When the publisher of the National Enquirer refused to pay off a porn star who had sex with Trump, Trump's fixer paid her off as part of that conspiracy. Trump then reimbursed ...

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney
Donald Trump yesterday said there are a lot of witnesses who could have been called to prove his innocence in this case. CNN's Caitlin Collins today asked Trump's lawyer, Todd Blanche: so why didn't you call those witnesses? Blanche replied , "That's a loaded question that should not be asked ...

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney
Renatto Mariotti writes that Trump's team "lost a very winnable case." This is where I get frustrated with how many lawyers seem to view the world. You're either guilty or you're not. There is an underlying truth that really exists. It shouldn't be possible for legal maneuverings to chang...

Sentencing is on July 11, four days before the RNC. Not sure if this is a harbinger of anything but: Shares of Truth Social owner Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT) tumbled 9% in after-hours trading Thursday after former President Donald Trump was found guilty on all 34 felony charges. Trump M...

Donald Trump is a convicted felon. Get used to hearing that.

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney
Even if it makes no iota of difference to the election, even if it ends up helping Trump, I find that I would feel extremely gratified to learn that Trump was held accountable for his despicable conduct.

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney
After stating they were going leave early at 4:30 today, all of a sudden there is news that there is a verdict after all. That seems like good news to me. It seems very unlikely that they would have reached an acquittal this quickly.

Re: The (no longer) much too early 2024 election thread
This is so insane that I don't even have words to describe it. No matter how much you disagree with Biden's handling of the war in Gaza, there is no objective basis to not conclude that Trump is exponentially worse on that issue and on every other issue important to Arab-Americans. https://twitter.c...

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney
It's hard to say. This early in the deliberations, it is just as likely that the panel as a whole is trying to clarify the facts. Most commentators who have more criminal trial experience than I do seem to think that the requests are a bad sign -- for Trump.

Unless and until the actual tape comes out, this is a non-story (and it might be a non-story even if the tape does come out, ridiculous though that might be).

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney
What's the logic behind the New York law that forbids the jury from having the judge's instructions to them in writing? Here is some discussion about this questions (which makes little sense to me. https://twitter.com/alegalnerd/status/1795968245134217713 While it is true that the jury's province i...

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney
The jury sent another note asking to have the instructions read back to them again (since they don't have a copy). The judge has asked them to clarify whether they want all of them read, or just some of them, but apparently has sent them home for the day because the parties are still trying to agree...
